As a child, I wrote dozens of little stories about Cornish Pixies—I remember nearly all of them.
This particular story is called "Whispers Wish" and the begining of the story is below—let the children's imagination fly, and finish it.
Teachers—if you do this as a group project, choose 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners. We will award a signed copy of the book "All About Cornish Pixies" for the winner and a vial of pixie dust for 2nd and 3rd.

Micklemas drew near. On Micklemas night, fairies, elves, pixies and goblins all went on a trip to Sowley pond, to drop in little fairie coins to make a Micklemas wish.
Now, Sowley pond was a pond without a bottom. The water went on and on forever and a day. But once a year, on Micklemas night, magical mists appeared over the top of the pond. And, if pixies and fairies threw their coins at just the perfectly right mini second, the mist would swirl around the coins spinning them 'round making a circle in the air—which swirled into a burst of golden stars that glistened and sparkled in the dark blue night sky.

Next, with a crackle and a poof! A thin stream of golden pixie dust would swirl around the fairie person who had thrown the coin. This meant that fairie would be granted one wish—if they could catch the pixie dust with a magical pixie dust catching net, then pour it into their special pixie dust bottle.
This Micklemas night, Whisper with her favourite Ted in tow, anxiously stood around Sowley pond, clutching the pixie pennies... longing, longing, for her chance to see if she could get her wish...
What did Whisper wish for?
You finish the Story.
