The magical audio fairy tale Journey of the Blue Arrow tells about the events that began before the new year. Francesco entered the toy store. It was a boy from a poor family, and he wanted to know why he did not receive a gift. It turned out that his mother could not even pay for last year's toy, and the fairy who owned the store was not going to do charity work.
The toys, having heard this conversation, took pity on the children of the poor and fled on a toy train so that these children would have gifts for the new year.
Jampalo was the first to receive a New Year's surprise - he got a cute teddy bear. Then the composition of the "Blue Arrow" continued its difficult journey and got to the beggar girl - the doll remained with her. "Blue Arrow" had to go through the most difficult tests to please the poor kids!
One day, late in the evening, Francesco noticed that robbers had climbed into the fairy's toy shop. The police did not listen to the explanations and, without understanding, took the boy away with them, so he had to spend the night in a cell. When he was released, Fairy offered him a job as an assistant in her toy store. This concludes the Blue Arrow online audio tale.

Signora without five minutes baroness
The fairy was an old lady, very well-bred and noble, almost a baroness.
“They call me,” she sometimes muttered to herself, “just Fairy, and I don’t protest: after all, one must have indulgence towards the ignorant.” But I'm almost a baroness; decent people know this.
“Yes, Signora Baroness,” the maid agreed.
“I'm not a 100% baroness, but I don't miss her that much. And the difference is almost imperceptible. Is not it?
“Invisible, Signora Baroness. And decent people don't notice it...
It was just the first morning of the new year. All night long, the Fairy and her maid traveled on the rooftops, delivering gifts. Their dresses were covered with snow and icicles.
“Fire the stove,” said the Fairy, “you need to dry your clothes.” And put the broom in its place: now for a whole year you can not think about flying from roof to roof, and even with such a northerly wind.
The maid put the broom back in its place, grumbling:
“Nice business to fly on a broomstick!” This is in our time, when airplanes were invented! I've already caught a cold because of this.
“Prepare me a glass of flower decoction,” the Fairy ordered, putting on her glasses and sitting down in an old leather chair that stood in front of the desk.
“Just a minute, Baroness,” said the maid.
The fairy looked at her approvingly.
“She is a little lazy,” thought the Fairy, “but she knows the rules of good manners and knows how to behave with the signora of my circle. I will promise her a pay raise. In fact, of course, I will not increase it, and so there is not enough money.
It must be said that the Fairy, for all her nobility, was rather stingy. Twice a year she promised the old maid to increase her wages, but limited herself to promises. The maid had long been tired of hearing only words, she wanted to hear the sound of coins. Once she even had the courage to tell the Baroness about it. But the Fairy was very indignant.
– Coins and coins! she said, sighing. “Ignorant people only think about money. And how bad it is that you not only think, but also talk about it! Apparently, teaching you good manners is like feeding a donkey sugar.
The fairy sighed and buried herself in her books.
So let's strike a balance. Things are not important this year, there is not enough money. Still, everyone wants good gifts from the Fairy, and when it comes to paying for them, they begin to bargain. Everyone is trying to borrow, promising to pay later, as if the Fairy is some kind of sausage maker. However, today there is nothing to particularly complain about: all the toys that were in the store sold out, and now we will need to bring new ones from the warehouse.
She closed the book and began to type out the letters she found in her mailbox.
- I knew it! she spoke. “I risk pneumonia by delivering my goods, and no thanks!” This one did not want a wooden saber - give him a pistol! Does he know that the gun costs a thousand lire more? Another, imagine, wanted to get an airplane! His father is the doorman of the courier of the secretary of one employee of the lottery, and he had only three hundred lire to buy a gift. What could I give him for such a pittance?
The fairy threw the letters back into the box. She took off her glasses and called:
Teresa, is the decoction ready?
“Ready, ready, Signora Baroness.
And the old maid gave the Baroness a steaming glass.
“Did you put a drop of rum in here?”
- Two whole spoons!
- I would have had one ... Now I understand why the bottle is almost empty. To think we only bought it four years ago!
Sipping the boiling drink in small sips and managing not to get burned at the same time, as only old gentlemen can do, the Fairy wandered around her little kingdom, carefully checking every corner of the kitchen, shop and a small wooden ladder that led to the second floor, where there was a bedroom.
How sad the store looked with its curtains down, empty windows and cupboards littered with toy boxes and piles of wrapping paper!
- Prepare the keys to the warehouse and a candle, - said the Fairy, - you need to bring new toys.
Chapter 1
The fairy was an old lady, very well-bred and noble, almost a baroness.
“They call me,” she sometimes muttered to herself, “just Fairy, and I don’t protest: after all, one must have indulgence towards the ignorant.” But I'm almost a baroness; decent people know this.

Sipping a boiling drink in small sips and managing not to get burned at the same time, as only old gentlemen can do.
The fairy roamed her little kingdom, carefully checking every corner of the kitchen, the store, and the small wooden ladder that led to the second floor where the bedroom was.
How sad the store looked, with the curtains drawn, the windows empty, and the cabinets littered with empty boxes of toys and heaps of wrapping paper!
- Prepare the keys to the warehouse and a candle, - said the fairy, - you need to bring new toys.
“But Signora Baroness, do you want to work even today, on the day of your holiday?” Do you really think that anyone will come shopping today? After all, New Year's Eve, the night of the Fairy, has already passed ...
“Yes, but there are only three hundred and sixty-five days left until next New Year's Eve.
I must tell you that Fairy's shop remained open throughout the year and its windows were always lit. Thus, the children had enough time to choose one or another toy, and the parents had time to make their calculations in order to be able to order it.
And besides, there are still birthdays, and everyone knows that children find these days very suitable for receiving gifts.
Now you understand what the Fairy does from the first of January until the next New Year? She sits behind a shop window and looks at passers-by. She pays special attention to the faces of the children. She immediately understands whether they like or dislike a new toy, and if they do not like it, she removes it from the window and replaces it with another one.
Oh, sir, something now attacked me with doubt! That's how it was when I was little. Who knows if the Fairy now has this shop with a showcase lined with toy trains, dolls, rag dogs, guns, pistols, figures of Indians and puppets!
I remember it, this Fairy shop. How many hours I spent at this showcase, counting toys! It took a long time to count them, and I never had time to count to the end, because I had to take home the milk I bought.
