Ep. 1154 - The Blue Fairy Book - Felicia and the Pot of Pinks, Pt. 2

The first thing she did when she reached her room was to throw the cabbage out of the window.

But she was very much surprised to hear an odd little voice cry out: ‘Oh! I am half killed!’ and could not tell where it came from, because cabbages do not generally speak.

As soon as it was light, Felicia, who was very unhappy about her pot of pinks, went out to look for it, and the first thing she found was the unfortunate cabbage. She gave it a push with her foot, saying: ‘What are you doing here, and how dared you put yourself in the place of my pot of pinks?’

‘If I hadn’t been carried,’ replied the cabbage, ‘you may be very sure that I shouldn’t have thought of going there.’

It made her shiver with fright to hear the cabbage talk, but he went on:

‘If you will be good enough to plant me by my comrades again, I can tell you where your pinks are at this moment—hidden in Bruno’s bed!’
