By Jenny Panda  |  An excerpt » She had the power to carve sunbeams and raindrops into enchanting crystal shapes that she would hang from the trees and at the ends of rainbows. After some time, a few of the trees began to dislike being covered with things. One day they began to turn brown and orange. They shook their twigs wildly to dislodge the baubles.

Flidzerina tried to hold their branches still, so that the crystals didn't fall off.

"Stop! Stop!" she cried wildly.

But the trees continued to shake. Flidzerina's crystals flew off and were smashed to pieces on the ground.

"I took so long to make those beautiful things! You are such ungrateful trees!'

The trees stood still and looked a little ashamed. Crying, the youngest wizard stamped her feet and tossed her long golden hair. Then collecting all the fragments of crystals up in her arms she ran and ran until she reached the topmost pinnacle of the highest mountain of Guth.

Then she threw all the broken shards up into the air from where they changed into specks of light. These can still be seen high up in the sky, twinkling with the stars on a winter's night.
