Directions: Read the story below. Fill in the information on the map below.Stories are like journeys—they have a beginning,
a middle, and an end.Once upon a time there were three good fairy sisters that lived in the forest of Make Believe.
Their names were Flutter, Wink, and Shine. One morning Flutter awoke to the sound of a
baby crying. She flew outside to investigate. Under a tree was a tiny baby wrapped in a silk
blanket. She took him inside. Wink and Shine had never seen a human baby before. What
was he doing in their forest? A note was attached to the baby’s blanket. The note said,
“Please care for my son. He is a tiny king and one day should rule the country. Keep him safe
from his evil uncle who has stolen the throne.”
Flutter, Wink, and Shine raised the tiny baby as their own. They named him Arbor in honor
of the ancient trees in the forest of Make Believe. Arbor grew into a strong and kind man.
When Arbor reached his 18th birthday, Flutter told him about the note. Arbor decided it was
time to find his real mother and fight his evil uncle. The fairies gave Arbor a bag of magic.
Arbor was able to find his mother. The evil king had locked her in the tower for many years.
She recognized her son right away. She was so happy to see him. Arbor used the fairy magic
to turn himself into a giant spider. He spun a web around the evil king. Then he turned
himself into a giant bird and flew far away with the king. Arbor returned to the palace and
was crowned the new king.
