`` No , '' said Ellie . `` I like you very much now ; and I like coming here , too . '' `` And perhaps , '' said the fairy , `` you will learn to like going where you do n't like , and helping some one that you do n't like , as Ellie has . '' But Tom put his finger in his mouth , and hung his head down ; for he did not see that at all . So when Mrs. Doasyouwouldbedoneby came , Tom asked her ; for he thought in his little head , She is not so strict as her sister , and perhaps she may let me off more easily . Ah , Tom , Tom , silly fellow ! and yet I do n't know why I should blame you , while so many grown people have got the very same notion in their heads . But , when they try it , they get just the same answer as Tom did . For , when he asked the second fairy , she told him just what the first did , and in the very same words . Tom was very unhappy at that . And , when Ellie went home on Sunday , he fretted and cried all day , and did not care to listen to the fairy 's stories about good children , though they were prettier than ever . Indeed , the more he overheard of them , the less he liked to listen , because they were all about children who did what they did not like , and took trouble for other people , and worked to feed their little brothers and sisters instead of caring only for their play . And , when she began to tell a story about a holy child in old times , who was martyred by the heathen because it would not worship idols , Tom could bear no more , and ran away and hid among the rocks . And , when Ellie came back , he was shy with her , because he fancied she looked down on him , and thought him a coward . And then he grew quite cross with her , because she was superior to him , and did what he could not do . And poor Ellie was quite surprised and sad ; and at last Tom burst out crying ; but he would not tell her what was really in his mind . And all the while he was eaten up with curiosity to know where Ellie went to ; so that he began not to care for his playmates , or for the sea-palace or anything else . But perhaps that made matters all the easier for him ; for he grew so discontented with everything round him that he did not care to stay , and did not care where he went . `` Well , '' he said , at last , `` I am so miserable here , I 'll go ; if only you will go with me ? '' `` Ah ! ''
said XXXXX , `` I wish I might ; but the worst of it is , that the fairy says that you must go alone if you go at all .
