CAN SMALL CREATURES HAVE A BIG IMPACT?

I, Delbert, am small.  The fairies are small, about 4 to 8 inches tall at the most.  Zenna the spider is small.  She has done many things with her weaving that are amazing, from making clothes, to stopping violence.  Small creatures should never be dismissed as being powerless.  Sometimes they just have to find out how to use their power.  This may be a big world but all creatures, large or small are important.  I hope all of my readers feel important.  Gotta buzz off now and find some more flowers, or news.

WHO PROVIDED MATERIAL TO REPAIR FAIRY WINGS?

A fairy's wings are precious beyond words.  Not only are they important to a fairy for flying.  They are also part of a fairy's beauty.  Marus was a courageous fairy who flew into a fire to rescue Lina from being incinerated even before she was born.  As a result his wings were damaged.  But Hilda, one of his sisters, had the idea to ask Zenna for some spider silk and she was able to repair his wings with that silk.  In the Thimblewyck stories there are many instances of Zenna's wonderful weaving being important in many ways.
