Mayaru's Gift

Mayaru, the Fairy, lost her memory and lived alone in the forest.

One day, a girl happened to come by and they became friends. The girl called lots of friends and they all played happily.

But Mayaru wasn't Human and aged slowly. The children grew up and eventually forgot Mayaru.

And then, the girl she first met...was the only one left. But that girl grew up and wouldn't play with her anymore.

Even so, the grown-up girl couldn't forget Mayaru and came back. Finally, Mayaru gave the lonely-looking girl a present.

Words of farewell.

Until then, people didn't know of the words of farewell. Mayaru was a farewell fairy. She'd forgotten that because it's painful to have nothing but farewells. The grown-up girl learned the words from Mayaru.

And that girl who knew the words of farewell...? She became the world's kindest person.

The End

(This is one of my favourite fairy tales, and it came from an anime TV show that I like. I don't know if there is book for it, but if there is, I would really like to have it.)
