`` You must ask the fairies that . '' So when the fairy , Mrs. Bedonebyasyoudid , came next , Tom asked her . `` Little boys who are only fit to play with sea-beasts can not go there , '' she said . `` Those who go there must go first where they do not like , and do what they do not like , and help somebody they do not like . '' `` Why , did Ellie do that ? '' `` Ask her . '' And Ellie blushed , and said , `` Yes , Tom ; I did not like coming here at first ; I was so much happier at home , where it is always Sunday .

Indeed , the more he overheard of them , the less he liked XXXXX 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 .
