Tinker Bell is born as a tinker fairy in Pixie Hollow but wants to visit the mainland with the nature fairies, leading her to try different talents and cause chaos by losing control of sprinting thistles; however, she redeems herself by inventing machines that help the fairies quickly prepare for spring, saving the season and earning the right to deliver a fixed music box to the mainland.

*Children's Art From the "Land of the Firebird"*
This collection of artworks by Russian children, ages 5-15, was inspired by their national fairy tales and folk tales. The forest animals and 'tricksters' that live across the pages of their folk tales add vitality, inventiveness and humor to their art. The ubiquitous "Clever Fox" in Russian tales is a stand-in for "Br'er Fox" in American stories like "Tales of Uncle Remus". The stories and legends carry children off to a magic world with real life situations that usually turn out well: evil is punished and good deeds are rewarded. The folk tales and legends of all cultures are bound together by common threads of morality and values that are passed through the generations to children all over the world.
These artworks have been exhibited in over 50 locations in New York and beyond - public libraries, schools, children's hospitals, city halls and art museums. Over 300 artworks in the collection were sold at silent auctions, beginning in 1993, and proceeds were returned to their schools in Russia. American children also have sent artworks to Russia since mid-1900s. A large collection of these works is stored in Moscow.

TINKERBELL
By
Diarmuid Byron O'Connor
Condensasion By Anggi Febi Jayanti (1523102)
It was a special day in Pixie Hollow. All the fairies gathered around. With a
sprinkling of pixie dust, a new fairy was born. Her name was Tinker Bell. Queen Clarion
welcomed the newest fairy and said, “Born of laughter, clothed in cheer, happiness has
brought you here.” The fairies tried to help Tinker Bell find her talent. They gave her
flowers, water, and light, but everything Tink touched faded away.
Then, Tinker Bell passed a hammer. It began to glow. It flew straight toward her. She
had found her talent. She was a tinker fairy. The tinker fairies came to welcome Tinker Bell.
Tink was happy to meet them. She was also a bit sad. Tinkers were not fancy like the other
fairies.
Tink’s new friends, Clank and Bobble, took her on a tour of Pixie Hollow. Thet saw
all the fairies getting ready for spring. “It’s the changing of the seasons,” explained Bobble.
There was a lot going on at Tinker’s Nook. Tinker Bell loved seeing all the useful things the
tinker fairies made. Fairy Mary was the head tinker. She told Clank and Bobble to deliver
their creations to the rest of the fairies fast. They would need the items on the mainland. “The
mainland sounds flitteriffic!” cried Tink.
The tinker fairies showed the queen what they had made. One of the Tinker Bell’s
creations still needed some work. Tink would fix it in time to take it with her to the mainland.
The queen told Tink that tinker fairies did not go to the mainland. “Your work is here in Pixie
Hollow,” Queen Clarion said.
“Being a tinker stinks,” said Tinker Bell back at Tinker’s Nook. Fairy Mary told her
that she should be proud of who she was. But Tinker Bell did not want to be a tinker. She
wanted to be a nature fairy. She asked her friends for help. At first, Silvermist tried to teach
Tink how to be a water fairy. But Tink was not good with water. Then, Iridessa tried to teach
Tink how to be a light fairy, but Tink was not good with light. Fawn tried to show Tink how
to be an animal fairy, but Tink was not good with animals, either.
Tink saw a big bird flying in the sky. “Maybe that guy can help!” she said. The bird
made a nosedive for Tink. “Hawk!” yelled the fairies as they ran for cover. Tink jumped into
a hole to hide. The hole was Vidia’s hiding spot. Now, the hawk was after Vidia, too.
2. 2
The other fairies attacked the hawk with berries. Vidia was safe but she was angry.
Tink tried to help her clean up but she didn’t want Tink’s help. Tink felt horrible. She
couldn’t hold drops of water, she couldn’t hold rays of light, and baby birds were scared of
her. “I am useless,” she said. Tink flew to the beach. She wanted to be alone. There she
spotted a broken music box. Tink quickly got to work. Her friends watched. “You fixed it!”
Silvermist cried. They were all amazed at her tinkering talent. Tinker Bell enjoyed tinkering.
But she still wanted to go to the mainland.
At her last hope, Tink went to Vidia for help. But, Vidia was still angry with her.
Vidia got an evil idea. She said Tink should capture the Sprinting Thistles to prove she was a
garden fairy. It was a dangerous job. But Tink had to try. It was her last chance. She made a
corral and a lasso to capture the Thistles. She saddled up cheese the mouse and was on her
way.
“It’s working!” cried Tink. Thistles went into the corral. But then, Vidia blew a strong
gust of wind, The corral gate flew open. The Thistles ran out. Hundreds of other Thistles ran
by, too. Tinker Bell lost control of them. The Thistles ran this way and that way through
Springtime Square. They destroyed all the springtime supplies. Everyone was upset. Spring
would have to be canceled. It was all Tinker Bell’s fault. She flew away in shame.
Tinker Bell decided to leave Pixie Hollow for good. She stopped one last time at the
tinker’s workshop. As she looked around, she got an idea. She knew how to save spring!
Back at Springtime Square, Vidia was punished for helping the Thistles escape. And
everyone was sad that spring wouldn’t be coming. “Wait! I know how we can fix everything!
But I can’t do it alone!” Tinker Bell cried. The fairies were eager to help. Tink showed
everyone what to do. In the blink of an eye, Tink’s creations filled buckets with berry paints
and seeds. Soon, everything was ready for spring!
“You did it! You saved spring!” exclaimed Queen Clarion. “We all did it,” said
Tinker Bell. Fairy Mary told Tink she could go to the mainland, too. The music box Tink had
fixed belonged to a special little girl. And only Tinker Bell could deliver it to her. Tinker Bell
was happy. Her tinkerings had saved the spring. She was a tinker fairy- and proud of it.

SUMMARY
Tinker Bell is born from the first laugh of a baby, and is brought by the winds to Pixie
Hollow (which is part of the island of Never Land). She learns that her talent is to be one of
the tinkers, the fairies who make and fix things. Two other tinker fairies, Bobble and Clank,
teach her their craft, and tell her about the fairies who visit the mainland to bring each season.
Tinker Bell is thrilled and cannot wait to go to the mainland for spring.
While out working, she meets Silvermist, a water fairy; Rosetta, a garden fairy;
Iridessa, a light fairy; and Fawn , an animal fairy. After meeting them, she notices Vidia, a
fast-flying fairy who immediately dislikes her because of her unusually strong talent. Vidia
challenges her to prove she will be able to go to the mainland, and Tinker Bell creates several
inventions, which she shows to the Minister of Spring. But Tinker Bell soon learns from
Queen Clarion that only nature-talent fairies visit the mainland.
She tries her hand at nature skills; making dewdrops with Silvermist, lighting fireflies
with Iridessa, and trying with Fawn to teach baby birds to fly, but she fails at all of these.
Meanwhile, Bobble and Clank cover for Tinker Bell when questioned by Fairy Mary, the
tinker fairy overseer. When Tinker Bell returns, she tries to explain, but Mary simply
responds that she knows, and expresses her disappointment with Tinker Bell's actions.
On the beach, Tinker Bell finds parts of a music box and figures out how to put them
together. Iridessa, Fawn, Silvermist, and Rosetta witness her doing this, then tell her that she
was tinkering and that she should be proud of her talent. If this is what she's good at, the
mainland should not matter. But Tinker Bell still wants to go to the mainland. She asks
Rosetta if she will still teach her to be a garden fairy, but Rosetta says she thinks that
tinkering is Tinker Bell's talent.
As a last resort, Tinker Bell asks Vidia for help in becoming a garden fairy. Vidia
craftily tells her that capturing the sprinting thistles would prove her worth. However, once
she sees Tinker Bell making progress, she lets the captured thistles loose, and in attempting to
recapture them, Tinker Bell destroys all the preparations for spring. Tinker Bell decides to
leave, but after talking with the light-keeper, Terence, about how important his job is, she
realizes the importance of a tinker.
Tinker Bell redeems herself by inventing machines that quicken the process of
decorating flowers, ladybugs, etc. This allows the other fairies to get back on schedule, thus
saving the arrival of spring. Vidia is punished for prompting her to cause the chaos, and
Queen Clarion allows Tinker Bell to join the nature-talent fairies when they bring spring to
the mainland. Tinker Bell is given the task of delivering the music box to its original owner.
