On her seventh birthday, the fairy Sabayi, a bright spirit with twinkling green eyes, received an oversized, sequined pillow from her Aunt Miopol. Sabayi was delighted with the gift, and when she went to sleep that night, with dozens of ornate candles around her, she dropped down in the middle of the pillow. But the pillow was so big that Sabayi sank into the soft cushion, and the pillow folded up and nearly suffocated her. So she called her friends and invited them to sleep over. After they flew to Sabayi's home, each friend rested on a different part of the pillow, making it stable for all, and everyone enjoyed the marvelous gift.
