Chapter

1

Fairy Fay “Let’s stop for a rest, Tricks,” the Masked Prince told his horse. “My sister Davina’s castle is not very far away now.”

The famous detective held out a sugar lump for Tricks.

“You poor old thing!” said the Masked Prince. “You must be tired! But you will be able to rest now. The party for my nephew Baby Snuffles is going to go on for two whole days!”

5

Just then a carriage flew past.

“That’s Fairy Faye…” said the famous detective. “She will be at the castle before us! Those horses’ wings are pretty cool, don’t you think?”

Tricks rolled his eyes. He thought they looked totally ridiculous!

6

Minutes later the Masked Prince rode into the castle courtyard. His brother-in-law Anton came out to welcome him.

“I’m so glad you were able to come!” said Anton.

“Me too,” said the Masked Prince.

“My investigation in the Land of the Ogres took less time than expected. So… how is my nephew?”

“Baby Snuffles is fine,” said Anton.

“He sleeps like a log. Follow me!”

7

Anton and the Masked Prince walked towards the Great Hall where Davina and Fairy Faye were talking.

The Masked Prince kissed his sister and bowed to the fairy.

“I am so pleased to see you again.”

“Me too, dear Prince,” said Fairy Faye with a dazzling smile.

“Your outfit is quite… magical!” said the detective.

The fairy’s dress was covered in tiny buds that were opening out into flowers!

8

Davina said, “We are so lucky to have a great fairy like Faye to give Snuffles a special gift…”

“What gift are you planning to give my nephew?” asked the Masked Prince.

“That’s a surprise for tomorrow,” said the fairy in a mysterious voice.

“Speaking of surprises…” said Anton.

“I should tell you that we have three extra guests!”

“Really?” said the Masked Prince.

“It was not planned,” said Davina. “But they are lovely people, you will see!”

9

The Masked Prince began to climb the stairs to his room. On the first landing, he suddenly heard a noise behind him.

He stood back against the wall and just missed being run over by a trunk with wings that was speeding up the stairs.

“It’s not always easy having a fairy in the house!” he said to himself.

10

There’s going to be a party for Baby Snuffles. Fairy Faye has come to give him a special gift.

Chapter

2

Surprise guests

At dinner the Masked Prince sat down next to a tubby little man.

“Hello, I’m Davina’s brother.”

“Oh? The famous detective? Pleased to meet you! I am Prince Edmund and I am here by chance. I saw a light so I came in.”

The little man burst out laughing.

He wiped the corner of his eyes with his napkin and went on, “Actually, my carriage was damaged yesterday evening, just near the castle. Your sister was kind enough to put me up while it’s being fixed.”

11

There was a young woman sitting opposite the Masked Prince. She had a pointed nose covered in freckles.

Anton introduced her.

“Do you remember Madeline, my cousin?

She was at our wedding… She gave us a wonderful present…”

“Oh, not at all,” said cousin Madeline, blushing slightly.

“Actually, you do look familiar,” said the Masked Prince.

12

Then he spoke to the young, blonde woman at the end of the table.

“And you are…?”

“My name is Bertha and I’m a journalist with the Crown Echo. I’m here to write about Fairy Faye’s gift to Baby Snuffles…”

Just then, the doors to the dining hall burst open as if they had been pushed by invisible arms. Fairy Faye appeared.

“So sorry I’m late,” she said. “I had to change after such a long journey.”

13

She was wearing a summer dress that sparkled like the sun on the sea. A light breeze puffed out the sleeves and suddenly there were seagulls flying all around.

Edmund asked, “Did some caterpillars invade your flowery dress?”

He laughed loudly at his own joke. But when he saw that the other guests were giving him funny looks, he blushed.

“Oh! Sorry! I was only joking…”

14

“Let the party begin!� said Davina.

They all raised their glasses in honour of Baby Snuffles. Then Fairy Faye used her magic wand to serve the food and the guests started chatting again.

At the end of the meal, the staff cheered when Fairy Faye ordered the dishes to wash themselves. Edmund wanted to make himself useful so he went to get tea for everyone.

Soon everyone went up to their beds, except for cousin Madeline and Fairy Faye.

15

The Masked Prince was on his way to his room when he heard a shriek.

He hurried upstairs and found Bertha shaking with fear.

“What’s going on?” asked the detective.

“There’s… a spider in the bathroom…” gulped the journalist.

A minute later, the Masked Prince came out of the bathroom holding a tiny spider.

“Thank you,” said Bertha. “Now I can have my bath!”

16

After dinner, the Masked Prince discovers that Bertha, one of the surprise guests, is scared of spiders.

Chapter

3

Wake up!

The next morning, the Masked Prince woke up with a bad headache. He looked at his watch.

“Ten o’clock! I never wake up this late.

Help! The party is about to start!”

He hurried down the corridor and almost knocked over cousin Madeline. She was carrying a huge pile of presents.

“Are all those for Snuffles?” asked the prince.

“Er… yes…” said Madeline, looking embarrassed. “I could not stop myself.”

17

The Masked Prince and Madeline walked into the Great Hall where Davina, Anton, Edmund and Bertha were waiting.

“We are almost all here now,” said Davina. “The only person missing is Fairy Faye.”

“She’s very late,” said Anton. “We were supposed to meet her at half past nine to talk about the party.”

18

“Let’s go and find her, then!” suggested the Masked Prince.

The detective and his brother-in-law went up to the second floor. They knocked on Faye’s door but she didn’t come to open it.

The Masked Prince was worried.

He turned the door handle. The door was not locked. The detective walked into the room. They could hear muffled sobs coming from the wardrobe.

“Faye!” said the Masked Prince.

19

The fairy was crouching under the clothes hanging in the wardrobe. She looked pale and sickly. There were tears streaming down her face.

“What happened?” asked the prince.

Fairy Faye spluttered,“My magic wand…

Someone has stolen it!”

The prince noticed an empty wand box on the bedside table.

“When did you last use it?”

“This morning, before I had my bath,” sniffed the fairy.

20

Fifteen minutes later the detective called all the people staying at the castle together.

“Faye’s magic wand was stolen this morning,” he said. “As you may have guessed, it’s a very valuable object…”

Faye whispered sadly, “Wands like mine are specially made. It will take months to make another!”

21

The fairy looked down at her grey, untidy dress.

“I don’t know how I’m going to manage without magic for such a long time!”

“You will have to get used to dresses without seagulls!” joked Prince Edmund.

Then he stopped laughing and apologised.

Davina said, “But if you don’t have your magic wand, you can’t give babies their special gifts!”

22

She said to her brother, “Can’t you do something?”

The Masked Prince said, “In Fairytale Land, stealing a magic wand is a serious crime. I shall carry out an investigation.

I must ask you all to stay in the castle until this matter is sorted out.”

23

Faye’s magic wand has been stolen.

The Masked Prince asks everyone to stay in the castle until he solves the mystery.

Chapter

4

Questions The Masked Prince asked Fairy Faye, “Can you tell us in detail what you did this morning?”

“Well… I got up at eight o’clock,” said the fairy. “I was about to have a wash when I heard Bertha calling for help.”

“Why were you calling for help?” asked the Masked Prince, turning to look at the journalist.

“I could hear scratching noises in the cupboard,” explained Bertha, blushing.

24

Fairy Faye said, “I found a mouse among the towels. I pointed my wand at it and made it disappear.”

“That’s very odd!” said Anton. “I have never seen a mouse in this castle!”

“What happened next?” the detective asked the fairy.

“I went back to my room.”

“Had you locked your door?” asked the Masked Prince.

25

“No,” said Fairy Faye. “I had walked out in a hurry. When I came back in, I locked the door to have a bath. But when I was getting dressed again, I noticed the bedroom door was open and my wand was gone…”

“The thief must have hidden in your room when you went to help Bertha. He or she must have run off when you were in the bath,” said the detective.

He turned to the others. “Could each of you tell me what you were doing between eight and nine o’clock this morning!”

26

Edmund said, “I had breakfast with Madeline and then we went for a walk in the garden… Don’t worry, I didn’t try and kiss her in the rose garden. Ha! Ha! Ha!” Madeline rolled her eyes and said, “We came back at about half past nine…”

“Anton and I were talking with the cook about what to have for lunch,” said Davina.

“So everyone has an alibi*” muttered the Masked Prince… “It’s more complicated than I thought!” * proof of where they were when the crime happened.

27

The wand was stolen between eight and nine o’clock. But everyone in the castle has an alibi.

Chapter

5

Strange and weird Just before midday, the Masked Prince came back down to the Great Hall. He had made a careful inspection of Faye’s room.

The castle guests sat in comfy chairs having a drink. Nobody said a word.

“Do you know where Bertha is?” asked the Masked Prince.

“I think she has gone to her room,” said Madeline.

28

The detective went back upstairs and found the journalist on her hands and knees spraying every corner of her room with insecticide.

“Um… Am I disturbing you?” he asked.

“No, no, come in!” she said. “I was just spraying to get rid of any little creatures…”

“Drinks are being served downstairs…” said the Masked Prince.

29

Bertha nodded. “I know but I would rather stay in my room. This castle is full of dangers…”

She clasped her hands together nervously.

“Have you noticed that the chandelier in the dining room is not properly attached?”

The prince gave her a surprised look.

“I had not noticed… Oh, by the way, I was wondering if you had told your newspaper about the stolen wand.”

“Not yet,” said Bertha.

30

“Just as well. Could you wait until this evening before telling them?”

Bertha smiled. “No problem, I will wait!”

The prince was about to go but then he changed his mind.

“Another thing… When you call, say hello to Ambrose Otherman, will you?”

“Ambrose Motherman?”

“Your editor in chief!”

“Oh yes, of course!” said Bertha.

“What was I thinking?”

31

The Masked Prince shut the door quietly behind him.

“Strange…,” he muttered. “For someone who works at the Crown Echo not to know…

Hmmm… I must give Ambrose a call!”

The prince went to the little room where the phone was. Unfortunately, someone was already in there so he sat outside on a stool to wait.

He could not help overhearing.

“Hello, dear? Yes I’m fine!” said a voice.

32

The prince peered in to see who it was.

“But I’m such an idiot.” said the voice.

“I brought presents for Snuffles and nothing for Davina. I’m so upset about it…”

There was a silence.

Then the voice said, “Yes… Me too, I can’t wait to see you, darling. Lots of love!”

33

The Masked Prince just had time to hide behind a curtain before cousin Madeline came out of the little room, humming.

“That’s weird,” said the young detective.

“She didn’t mention the stolen wand…”

He called his friend at the Crown Echo.

Then he went out into the castle courtyard.

He wanted to walk for a while and think about the things he had just found out…

34

By the gate, a man called out to him.

“I’m the village carpenter. Can you tell Prince Edmund that his carriage is fixed?”

“Of course,” said the Masked Prince.

“What was wrong with it?”

“The axle was sawn in two.”

“Sawn in two?” exclaimed the detective.

“Yes,” said the carpenter. “I told Prince Edmund it looked like someone did it on purpose. But he didn’t seem to care…”

35

Bertha and Madeline are behaving strangely. Edmund is also being a bit odd it seems…

Chapter

6

Explanation When the Masked Prince got back to the castle, he went to find Fairy Faye.

“Tell me, did you give Edmund, Madeline and Bertha gifts when they were babies?”

“That’s funny,” said Faye. “Madeline and I were just talking about that last night.

You know, it was me who gave her the gift of generosity. Isn’t that wonderful?”

“What about Bertha and Edmund?”

36

“I don’t remember all the gifts I have given. There are thousands of them. But I always make a note of babies’ names.”

Fairy Faye took a notebook with golden pages out of her bag. She quickly looked through it.

“You are right, I gave Prince Edmund the gift of being funny and I gave Bertha the gift of being careful.”

“That explains everything, then!” said the detective.

37

Ten minutes later, everyone was in the Great Hall again.

The Masked Prince began to speak.

“I have found Fairy Faye’s wand… or rather, what is left of it!”

He showed them three pieces of shining wood.

“It was broken into three pieces and hidden under Snuffles’ pillow.”

“I don’t believe it!” said Davina.

“Three pieces because there are three guilty people!” said the detective.

“Edmund, Madeline and Bertha, I accuse you of committing this crime together.”

38

Everybody in the room froze.

“Here is what I think happened,” said the Masked Prince. “Yesterday evening, Edmund sawed the axle of his carriage in two. Then he came to the castle to join his two friends. He popped a sleeping pill into my tea. It had the effect he wanted.

I was still asleep this morning when Madeline put a mouse in Bertha’s cupboard.”

“My cousin Madeline?” asked Anton.

39

“Yes,” said the detective. “I found a little cage in her bag. Bertha then called out so that Fairy Faye would go to her room…

Meanwhile Edmund was able to hide in Faye’s room and steal the wand!”

“But why would they want to do that?” asked Davina.

“It true. I organised everything!” said Madeline, looking guilty. “When I heard that Fairy Faye was going to give Snuffles a gift, I decided I had to stop her. So I called two of Fairy Faye’s other victims…”

40

Faye said in a shaky voice, “What do you mean, victims?”

“To be honest with you, your gifts are not always welcome presents!” said Edmund.

“Do you think it’s fun to have the gift of being funny? To have to make jokes all the time and annoy everyone?”

“What about me?” said Bertha. “I would give anything to be rid of my gift of being careful. I hardly dare go out of my house.

I don’t know how to swim or ride…”

41

The Masked Prince said, “Your gift stopped you being a journalist, didn’t it?

I called Ambrose Otherman, the editor of Crown Echo. He remembers interviewing you. You panicked when he explained the risks of the job…”

Fairy Faye turned to Madeline and said, “What about you? I thought you were happy with your gift of generosity!”

42

“I have a lot of friends, it’s true. But they are more interested in my presents than in me,” sighed Madeline. “I always feel I have to give them something.”

She looked at Fairy Faye.

“Your gift has not made me happy…”

The fairy held her head in her hands.

“Oh dear! I never thought what my gifts would do to people’s lives.”

43

Davina put her arm around the fairy’s shoulder.

“I think these three people were given difficult gifts. Maybe in future, Fairy Faye, you can think of simpler gifts to give.”

Anton picked up Baby Snuffles.

“Why not just give babies the gift of good health?” he suggested.

Fairy Faye nodded and said, “I will have time to think about it while a new wand is made for me.”

44

The Masked Prince said, “Do you want to make a complaint against these three?

They did steal your wand and destroy it.”

Faye shook her head.

“No… I understand why they did what they did. But now my wand is broken I’m going to need help to drive my carriage, do the cooking and mow the lawn…”

45

Cousin Madeline stepped forward.

“I would be happy to help you.”

“So would we,” said Edmund and Bertha together.

“That’s perfect, then!” said the detective.

Fairy Faye said to him, “Thank you Masked Prince. We would never have solved this mystery without you!”

The detective smiled at the fairy.

46

Then he said, “Look at page 15 in your notebook!”

Faye turned to page 15 and read out, “Masked Prince, gift of being observant*.”

“Well, well!” said Faye, smiling. “My gift helped you to become an excellent detective.

So I don’t always get it wrong, then! * noticing things.

Jellyfish Jellyfish live in the sea. They are amazing creatures. They have no legs and no head!

A jellyfish’s body is shaped like a bell.

The bell has smooth skin on top.

All around the edge of the bell are tiny tentacles that sting.

48

A jellyfish’s body is made mostly of water.

Their mouth is in the middle of the bell, surrounded by the oral arms. They use it to eat and also to do their droppings.

J.-L. Klein/M.-L. Hubert/PlanetNoe

These rings are for making baby jellyfish.

Jellyfish have oral arms that hang from the middle of the underside of their body.

These bring food towards the jellyfish’s mouth

We are scared of jellyfish because they can give us a nasty sting. Why do they sting?

49

Jellyfish sting to catch prey.

David Doubilet/gettyimages.com

When a small creature touches a jellyfish’s tentacles, it gets stung and is paralysed.

Then the jellyfish eats it.

50

Andrey Nekrasov/imagebroker.com/Biosphoto

Jellyfish never stop and rest. They swim all the time.

They move by opening out and then tightening (expanding and contracting) their bell.

Did you know?

Some jellyfish have stinging tentacles that are several metres long!

Turtles, tuna and sunfish eat jellyfish.
