What an enchanting tale! Well written and I have to say I love the irish accent you've given the little leprechaun! I enjoyed 'meeting' all the great fairytale characters again and certainly any child would love to hear this story, or even watch it on the tv.

Comment from elizabethmay
I absolutely loved this story. A traditional Fairytale. I would be happy to read this to my young grandsons. If you cant believe in fairies and magic when you are small its a poor do. I liked the dialogue between the children, Frankie was sparky and funny. I liked the reference to past much loved songs and fairytales.I liked the happy ending. Thanks EM

Comment from Trybuck
This one had all the ingredients for a great fairy tale. Frankie saves the day again, taking those girls to where dreams come true.
Well done with your fairy tale, Buck

Comment from RazberryBullet
Quite a fun ride with the leprechaun in charge :) Of course, the magic has its drawbacks: "I didn't believe and he made me into a donkey." LOL!!!
Good job!

Comment from L.lora
Whoopi, this is fantastic.
You've taken us back to childhood
in a most delightful way and
reminded us most gently how wonderful
fairtales and makebelieve can be. If
only in dreams--awe such sweet treasures.
A wonderful read and respite from the
real world if only for the time spent
with your story. no nits or spags. Good
luck with your contest. Lora

Comment from Rama Rao
An excellent tale which transported me to a fairyland. I was a child again taking a ride on Puff the dragon and flying with the Persiani carpet. I was also in a nice dream and wanted to go sleep again to have a rerun.
It's true. Dreams come true. Children shouldn't be denied their dreams.
This piece will make a nice bed time tale for children. I'm sure any children's publications will pick it up and make it into a book. Wish you good luck.

Hullo Carol ....
I enjoyed reading your Fairytale based on Fairytales that I used to enjoy all of seventy-five years ago.
I have given you 5 stars, trusting that you will consider the changes recommended ....
* You have - A belly laughed exploded ... this should be -
A belly-laugh exploded ...
* You have - Its' Shannon's fault ... this should be -
It's Shannon's fault ...
* You have - She quickly set down next to her friend ...
this should be - She quickly sat down ...
* You have - T'was once upon a time .... this should be -
'Twas once ....
* You have - rumpled as Jack hurried down ... this should be - rumbled as Jack ...
* You have - The brightest rainbow, they'd ever seen ... you don't need a comma after rainbow ...
* In a few places, you have written .. twas ... which is an abbreviation of it was ... and, those to which I refer
do not fit in with the rest of what you have written.
Thank you for sharing this with us and, as it is a Contest entry, I wish you well.
With love from .... Nanette Mary.
