Use the excerpt from Chapter 17 of the novel Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie to answer the question.
"I thought all the fairies were dead," Mrs. Darling said.
"There are always a lot of young ones," explained Wendy, who was now quite an authority, "because you see when a new baby laughs for the first time a new fairy is born, and as there are always new babies there are always new fairies. They live in nests on the tops of trees; and the mauve ones are boys and the white ones are girls, and the blue ones are just little sillies who are not sure what they are."
How does the story Wendy tells contribute to the plot of the story?

The story Wendy tells about the birth of new fairies and where they live adds to the magical and fantastical world of Neverland. It helps to explain the existence of fairies in the story and sets up the possibility for the characters to interact with them later on. This contribution to the story helps build the world and atmosphere, adding to the whimsy and wonder of the story.
