About This Quote
Ildiko, the fairy of the forest, was right. It had been better to conserve her strength and rest. But she was not going to die so easily. When Ildiko had left the house of her friend, she had climbed to the top of a tall tree.
She was determined to stay up there as long as possible. When she had first started climbing, she wore a coat and mittens and kept on putting them on and off as she climbed higher and higher into the branches. When she became tired and her hands and feet were cold, Ildiko dressed in a green dress that floated down from above.
And when she needed food or sleep, butterflies appeared from no where and carried it to her. But Ildiko was not content with this easy way out of danger; she wanted to defy death by celebrating life.
