In the Widu orchard, there were, as many of you know, many orange trees to be found. One of those trees stood a bit away from the others. Many years ago, someone had dropped an orange there, and one of its seeds had managed to survive and grow into a tree.
The one day, a fairy named Ceol moved to Widu, and it didn't take long for her to find the orchard and the lone orange tree. This quickly became her favourite tree. Oranges were large and heavy. She could lift them, but it took effort, so she was never so quick at picking them as the taller creatures. One tree to pick from was quite enough for her, so she gladly left the other trees for the taller creatures, and made this lone one her home.
Snowball, a sheep with wool as white as you'll ever see, looked up at the tree. She stood still, impatiently though, while a basket was balanced on her back. High up in the tree branches, Ceol carefully twisted an orange until the stem broke. She held it, fluttered her wings frantically to keep it up in the air, but nonetheless descended until right above Snowball. Ceol was quite relieved to drop the orange into the basket, then fluttered back up to pick another.
"Only two more, my dear Snowball!", she told her sheep. "And then when we get back from the market, I'll put up the sign. Now that I'm a weaver, it's time people know where to find me.", she giggled.
Later that day, Ceol attached a wooden sign to the trunk of the orange tree. She then fluttered back up and rested on a tree branch, while Snowball rested against the trunk together with the other three sheep Fluffy, Tousle and Miss Frizz.
