This book is part of the "Books for Young Readers" series, and its whimsical and highly imaginative stories not only immerse you in their charm but also help you become a better person. Fairies live in flowers. Some people think, "The number of humans is truly astonishing—it's over a billion! It's amazing!" But when you say this, best not to let the fairies hear it. If a fairy hears people make such remarks, they often raise their nostrils and disdainfully say, "That's nothing! The number of fairies is much greater than that—hundreds of times more!" Fairies? You might widen your eyes in disbelief: "There are no fairies in the world! Absolutely not!" Ha-ha, if you say that, the fairies would be laughing their hearts out. In fact, fairies are everywhere, all around us. The origin of fairies is simple: When a human baby eats the "Joyful Surprise Fruit" of the Joyful Spirit and lets out a sound "gugu" of laughter, his laughter falls to the ground, shattering into many pieces. From those fragments of laughter, countless good fairies are born; also, when he opens his mouth, "Ah—ah," and sneezes for the time in his life, his sneeze also falls to the ground, shattering into many pieces. From those fragments of sneezes, countless bad fairies are born. The exact number of newly born good and bad fairies is unknown, but their total adds up to exactly 100. So now you should understand why fairies can proudly say, "Our number is hundreds of times greater than that of humans." As the baby grows, the fairies born from his laughter and sneezes also grow slowly. However, unlike humans, the size changes of fairies are extremely tiny! Look, a human baby is only as big as a kitten when born, but when he grows up, wow! He's much taller than a giant panda. Fairies? Not at all. They don't bother with things like taking calcium pills or drinking height-enhancing potions to grow so large! The changes they undergo as they grow into adults are completely negligible from a human perspective. The reason for this is that—they live in flowers! That's right, flowers are the homes of these fairies. The youngest fairies live in the smallest flower buds; those a bit older live in slightly larger flower buds; and the oldest live in fully bloomed flowers. Think about it—how much difference is there between a flower bud and a fully bloomed flower? So, they can grow to be at most as big as their "own" flower, otherwise, if they grew any larger, they might burst a flower! If that happens, that poor fairy would have no home to live in. For this reason, every fairy carefully controls their height—never to grow too tall. Unlike the general perception, fairies don't just live in any flower they choose; in other words, not just any flower can be their home. Each fairy has a flower that belongs to their unique number. When these 100 fairies were born, they were quickly marked with different numbers. What is the home of the 1st fairy? What flower is the home of the 2nd fairy?
