Hello, Smarty Pants, and today we're fluttering into folklore and sprinkling sparkle in the magical world of fairies.

Before we sparkle into some trivia, let's give a special shout out to Harper in Geneva, Illinois.

I hear you listen to Who Smarted every single night before

falling asleep and never miss a chance to share a fun fact that you've learned. That is some next

level smarting Harper. Question one. Ferrys come from what kind of stories. Is it A, folklore,

B, science textbooks, or C, weather reports.

Ferrys come from folklore, which are traditional stories passed down through generations,

If you said A, you're flying high. Many fairy legends describe them as magical beings with delicate wings, though not all folklore fairies were tiny or friendly.

You're sparkling with smart answers. Keep but leaving in your brilliant smarty pants.

And now it's time for a sprinkle of sponsor Sparkle. We'll be right back after this quick message.
