Conclusion Ginger got dressed and went outside carring the money in both hands and saw Alieta waiting for her. Okay now here is a pouch to put those coins in. Hold on to them tight and follow me to town, said Alieta. Okay, said Ginger then the two of them flew off. So where are those two going? asked Zan to Ginger. Not sure but Ginger has some money now so I bet they are going shopping. Wow shopping with the queen. Bet they get some great deals, said Zan. Oh you bet, said Ginger. Alieta knows how to shop and get the best prices. Back at the tree house Amelie and Keiko were relaxing on the couch together. So I wonder how everything is going with Ginger? asked Amelie. Probably real good, said Keiko. She is a natural. So maybe we should go to Ktara's place and see if she will show us how to work this stove. That is a good idea, said Amelie. Then we can buy some food with the money she makes and let Ginger cook something, said Keiko. Well she needs to learn how to cook first, said Amelie. Oh ya, said Keiko. There must books that teach you how to cook stuff. Yep probably in a store, said Amelie. Need money for that though. Well maybe we can trade something, you know make something with our wands, said Keiko. Ya good idea, said Amelie. When I was on the look out tower with Pippa, I saw a town just north east of here. I bet that town has stores in it. Yep probably, want to go? asked Amelie. Yep lets go, said Keiko and they flew off towards the northern town. When they got there they saw a lot of different stores on a long street. So how do we figure out which store sells cook books? asked Keiko. I don't know, maybe ask someone, said Amelie. Yes that should work, there is a nice woman over there, lets ask her, said Keiko. They walked up to her and said Hello. Oh my fairies, how nice, how can I help you? asked the woman. Well we are new here and got a new kitchen and our freind Ginger wants to learn how to cook so we were wondering where to find books that teach a person how to cook. Oh well usually fairies make there own food, said the woman. Well Ginger isn't a fairy, said Keiko. Oh well then just walk down this street for about five stores and you will see a store called Quik Mart. They sell cook books and magazines in there, said the lady. Oh good thankyou so much, here then Keiko made her wand appear and put a ring on the womans hand. Wow a gold ring for just giving you directions, said the woman. Yep, us fairies love to do magic and make people happy, said Keiko. Well you just made me very happy, said the woman then continued on her way. Well she was nice, said Amelie. So lets find this store. They walked down the street and found the Quik Mart sign. Okay here it is, said Amelie, lets go in. Inside they found a lot of different items hanging up and on shelves. Okay, so where do we find cook books in this place? asked Keiko. Ask someone again I suppose, said Amelie. Ya but I don't see anyone yet, lets walk around some, said Keiko. They walked around the back of the store and saw a lady putting magazines on a rack. Hello, we are looking for cook books, said Keiko. Oh my, you startled me, said the woman. My fairies, what do you two need cook books for? They are for a friend that wants to learn how to cook, said Amelie. Oh I see then here is a good book for beginners. It is only one dollar. Well we don't have any money, said Keiko. Well you need money to buy stuff with, said the lady. Well we were thinking that maybe we could trade something for the book. Well what did you have in mind? asked the lady. Well maybe this and Keiko made a nice gold bracelet with gems on it appear on her wrist. Wow a gold bracelete with real gems for a cook book? Yep is that enough? asked Keiko. Enough, more than enough. Here take this book with recipies in it and this one is all about making deserts and this one has full meal recipies in it, plus take any other ones that you want, said the lady. Really, well this one with the man fishing looks interesting, said Keiko. Oh yes that is a popular one, tells you how to fish and the different kinds of rods and hooks to use, said the lady. Okay that is enough, said Keiko. Good now let me put them in a bag for you, said the lady. She went to the front of the store then placed the books in a bag. There you go. Have a great day, said the lady. You too, said Amelie then they left. The other woman rhat was working in the store walked over. Were those two fairies I just saw leaving? asked the lady. Yes they were and look what they traded me for some cook books and a fishing magazine. Is that real gold and gems? asked the lady. Yep, real gold and looks like a dozen heart shaped rubies. Wow that is worth a fortune, they could of bought everything in the store for that, said the lady. I know but she said fairies love doing magic and making people happy, said the lady. Wow, I hope they come back some time, but then I get to serve them next! Only if you beat me to them first, said the lady. The End...
