took out her golden egg and silver saucer and said:

“Roll about, golden egg, on your silver saucer, show me my Fenist dear.”

And the golden egg rolled about till Fenist the Bright Falcon appeared before her. Maryushka gazed and gazed at him and her tears ran fast.

“Fenist, my Fenist, why have you left poor me to shed tears without you?”

And the Queen overheard her and said: “Maryushka, sell me your silver saucer and golden egg.”

“No,” replied Maryushka, “they are not to be sold, but you may have them free if you let me see Fenist the Bright Falcon.”

The Queen thought for a while and then she said:

“All right, let it be so. To-night, when he falls asleep, I will let you see him.”

So when night came, Maryushka went to his bedroom and saw Fenist the Bright Falcon. Her darling lay fast asleep and could not be awakened. She looked and she looked and she could not look enough, and she kissed him on his sweet mouth, and she pressed him to her white bosom, but her darling slept on and did not awaken. Morning set in, but still Maryushka could not rouse her beloved.

All that day she worked and in the evening took her silver frame and gold needle. And as it sewed, Maryushka kept saying:

“Get embroidered, little towel, get embroidered, little towel, let my Fenist the Bright Falcon wipe his face.”

The Queen overheard her and asked:

“Maryushka, sell me your silver frame and gold needle.”

“Sell I will not,” replied Maryushka, “but you may have them free if you let me see Fenist the Bright Falcon.”

  To use fear as the friend it is, we must retrain and reprogram ourselves...We must persistently and convincingly tell ourselves that the fear is here--with its gift of energy and heightened awareness--so we can do our best and learn the most in the new situation. - Peter McWilliams, Life 101
