GRANDFATHER MOLE’S STATEMENT was not so far off. Because within a few days, it seemed to be raining berries—all over Pixie Hollow, all the time.

Some Never fairies started carrying their flower-petal umbrellas whenever they went outside. But, as every fairy soon found out, dainty flower-petal umbrellas didn’t hold up very well to constant berry bombardment.

“Phooey!” said Silvermist, a water fairy, as she flew into the Home Tree lobby. Her water-lily umbrella was covered in berry juice. It also had been knocked inside out by the force of some direct hits. Silvermist shook the umbrella as she tried to close it. “This is the fourth umbrella I’ve gone through in two days!”

Beck overheard Silvermist and flew over to invite her to the umbrella exchange table. “Right this way,” Beck said. She led Silvermist across the lobby. There Rosetta and three other garden fairies sat behind a tree-bark table. “You can drop off your ruined umbrella,” Beck explained. “And you can pick up a new umbrella. The garden fairies will use your old one for seeds. So everyone wins!”

The umbrella exchange table had been Beck’s idea. The Berry Battle was making big trouble for all the Never fairies, and she felt bad about that. She and the other animal-talent fairies were working as hard as they could to end the war. Over the past few days, between visits to Mother Dove, they had gone to see the hummingbirds and the chipmunks many times. They had tried to talk sense into them. But neither side was budging.

In the meantime, Beck wanted to do something to make things easier for the fairies. So she asked her garden-talent friends for help. They were experts at making flower-petal umbrellas. They were more than happy to pitch in. And now the idea of the umbrella exchange table seemed to be taking off. They had only been set up for an hour, but already they had collected ten broken umbrellas.
