Once upon a time there was an ostrich named Tablu.  Tablu was a bored ostrich.  She lived with her boring family in their boring house in the boring town of Ostichville.  Tablu got out of her boring bed one morning to brush her boring brown feathers and go eat a boring breakfast with her boring family at their boring breakfast table, when her boring father greeted her in a bored voice. 

“Good morning, Tablu," said her boring father.

"Good morning, Father," said Tablu, boredly.  She was about to take the first bite of her boring breakfast when, suddenly, the milk jar went POOF and disappeared in a puff of sparkly rainbow-colored smoke.  In its place was the most peculiar-looking little person that Tablu had ever seen.  She was about eight inches tall, slender, and dressed in an odd combination of sequin cloth, tinsel, and brightly-colored flowers.  Her hair was short and spiked up in the back.  It was a vibrant shade of teal.

"It looks like I came just in time!" said the odd smallish person who was now standing on Tablu's breakfast table.  "You look incredibly bored!"

"I am bored," said Tablu, "or, at least, I was a minute ago."

"Well, I'll just have to fix that, now, won't I?" the peculiar little person said from Tablu's breakfast table, which was becoming steadily less boring.

"Ummm... pardon me for asking... but who are you?" asked Tablu.

"Oh goodness!" the smallish person gasped.  "Oh, this is bad!  I didn't know it was this bad!"  She shook her head, causing sparkles to fly in all directions.  "I am a Fun Fairy!"

"Oh," said Tablu.  "I don't believe in fairies, so I'm afraid I can't talk to you."

"Silly ostrich!" scolded the fairy, "It doesn't matter if you believe in me or not!  I am real anyway!"  She promptly flittered up to Tablu's height, using wings Tablu had failed to notice before and thumped her hard between the eyes with her wand.

"Ow!" said Tablu, "That really hurt!"

"See!" proclaimed the fairy, "I am real!  Now that we've established that, let us begin with 
making your life less boring."
