So Oona moves from cabin to cabin, helping wherever there is trouble or need. When the Great Famine comes and the last of the potatoes is eaten, Oona knows she must leave. She sets out on a snowy Christmas Eve, bidding a silent farewell to the village, and finally drifts off to sleep under a thron bush. But it's a white Christmas, and she wakes to find hundreds of fairies making her dream come true.
