Daisy sang also , and turned the handle till she was tired ; then she helped Polly with the butter , and made four little pats , -- one stamped with a star for papa , one with a rose for mamma , a strawberry for Aunt Wee , and a cow for herself . She skimmed a pitcher of cream with a shallow shell , and liked the work so much she asked to have a little pan of milk put by for her to take care of every day . Dolly promised , and gave her a small shell and a low shelf all to herself . When she went in , she carried her pretty pats in one hand , the cream-pot in the other , and entered the breakfast room looking as brisk and rosy as a little milkmaid . It was a lovely morning when Daisy was next roused by the fairy music , and the ponies were standing at the door . `` Are we going far ? '' she asked , as Wee put on her riding-skirt , and tied back her hair . `` Up to the mountain-top : it 's only a mile ; and we shall have time , if we ride fast , '' answered Wee . Away they went , through the green lane , over the bridge , and up the steep hillside where the sheep fed and colts frisked as they passed by . Higher and higher climbed Dandy and Prance , the ponies ; and gayer and gayer grew Daisy and Wee , as the fresh air blew over them , and the morning-red glowed on their faces . When they reached the top , they sat on a tall stone , and looked down into the valley on either side . `` This seems like a place to find giants , not fairies , it is so high and big and splendid up here , '' said Daisy , as her eye roamed over river , forest , town , and hill . `` There are giants here ; and I brought you up to see them , '' answered Wee . `` Mercy , me ! where are they ? '' cried Daisy , looking very curious and rather frightened . `` There is one of them . '' And Wee pointed to the waterfall that went dashing and foaming down into the valley . `` That giant turns the wheels of all the mills you see . Some of them grind grain for our bread , some help to spin cloth for our clothes , some make paper , and others saw trees into boards .
That is a beautiful and busy giant , XXXXX . ''
