    When Woff and his aunt got up in the morning a wonderful sight met their eyes. The fire-place was full of toys and sweets and in the midle of them stood a fairy with Woffs shoe in his and. He said "fear not you have been awarded for your kindness." The fairy then vanished. The boys that ade fun of Woff got nothing in their stockings that Christmas.
