Read the passage from "The Wise Fool.”

At sundown the fairies were still working on the sandy plot. Two days went by. And a week. And another. Because just as one set of footprints were got rid of, another set appeared. By the end of the second week, in fact, the fairies had covered the entire plot with footprints. At last they gave up and let the woman live.

That is why even today, children who do not do well are not cast out, but treated fairly.
