The Pixies and The Lazy Housewife

By Mary Calhoun
Retold by Dali Soriano
Long ago in England, people believed in pixies. These
invisible little people loved neatness. They cleaned the house
of people they liked. They cleaned the house of people they
liked. They play tricks on lazy housewives. Bessy was a
messy housewife. She didn’t want to wash the dishes. She
never swept the floor of her cottage. Mice made a nest behind
her broom. It was strange that the pixies did not punish her.

One summer, Bessy saw pixies in the field. Bessy pretended

to be sick. She groaned, saying, “Oh, I am too sick to clean
my house. Please help me.” “What’s the matter?” said a
pixie. Bessy said, “Who is that?” A pixie replied, “It’s Willy.
I’ll help you.” “Thank you, please come home with me,
”Bessy said. Willy and the pixies jumped into Bessy’s basket.
When they got home, Bessy went straight to bed. The pixies
started cleaning. They washed the dishes and the dirty
clothes. They scrubbed the floor and swept away the
cobwebs.

The next day, Willy went to Bessy’s bed and asked, “Can
you get up today?” Bessy just groaned and said, “I’m still too
sick to get up.” So the pixies cleaned the house again. When
they left, Bessy jumped and sang. “Tralala. I have pixies to
work for me. I can just stay in bed.” Bessy did not know that
the pixies were watching her. Willy laughed, Hahaha, playing
a trick on us? Here, take this.” Willy pinched Bessy’s nose.
The other pixies messed up the nose. They ate all the food
194
and blew out the candles. Bessy ran out of the house but the
hill was misty. Bessy got lost. When the mist cleared up,
Bessy went home. When she got home, Willy was in her
house. “Get to work, lazy Bessy, or I’ll pinch you,”
commanded Willy. When the house was clean, the pixies left.
Bessy always cleaned her house after that. Willy and the
other pixies might come back.
