Friendly Fairies by John B. (John Barton) Gruelle

he bought a pretty pony cart and harness. Then Dicky drove the pony back
home.

By the time Dickie reached home he was hungry for more ice cream and
candy, so he went to the box to get some. "Oh Mamma and Daddy!" he
cried, "Come see! The box is full of candy and ice cream!" And sure
enough that was the case, for although they had eaten almost all of the
ice cream and candy before now the two boxes were filled again. Then
Daddy Dorn took two large handfuls of golden pennies from the golden
penny box and they watched the box fill up with pennies again.

"Whee!" cried Dickie Dorn. "Whee!" cried Mamma Dorn, and "Whee!"
cried Daddy Dorn. "We will give a party!" So Dickie drove around to
everybody's house in his pony cart and invited everybody to come to the
party.

[Illustration]

And they all had such a nice time they ate the ice cream box empty
sixteen times and it filled right up again, and they ate the candy box
empty seventeen times and it filled right up again, and Dickie and Mamma
and Daddy Dorn gave everybody all the golden pennies they could carry
home and emptied the penny box eighteen times, and whenever they emptied
the golden penny box it filled right up again.

And every one felt very grateful to Dickie Dorn and thanked him for such
a nice time, and Dickie brought Granny out of a corner where she was
eating her eighth dish of ice cream and told everybody that it was
Granny who had really given the party, and he told them how Granny had
helped him to learn crow talk.
