Once upon a time， there was a girl named Lilirella. She was very lucky and lived with her rich and kindly relatives， aunty Lucy，uncle Clyde and her young cousin， Ralph， a small boy with a long nose， black hair and a passion for eating cheese. They were very kind to her and paid for her education at the Fairy University of Crystal Island.
　　Every day her servants woke her up and carried her to the bathroom where she soaked herself for one hour in fresh spring water that was scented with jasmine， frangipani and honeysuckle. When she had finished bathing， her maidservant helped her to select the finest garments to wear for the day， and then dress.
　　However， today was her day off from having to be a princess and she had planned for her best friend，
　　Olive， to come around and sit with her by the swimming pool to relax and take turns doing each other’s nails and hair.
　　Olive had once been a very unpleasant and mean girl， and it was well known throughout the land that she had once stolen Ms Li’s globe and punched Wang Bing on the chin， but after all the trouble she experienced， she decided to change her ways. Her mum paid for her to have anger management lessons and how to become nicer to people. It was a rocky road at first because she kicked the anger management teacher in the shins and
　　punched the old school nurse in the tummy and made
　　her cry. However， after the security guards tackled
　　her to the ground and handcuffed her， she began to
　　calm down.
　　Each day she went to her class accompanied by two big security guards to make sure she didn’t bully the staff or beat anybody else up. After one year， Olive had transformed from being the nastiest child on the planet， to one of nature’s sweetest and most
　　lovable girls.
　　Lilirella and Olive were relaxing by the swimming pool when Lilirella said to Olive， “I think
　　we should take turns at doing each other’s nails and
　　hair. What do you think?”
　　Olive’s eyes lit up at the suggestion because she loved to paint her nails and do her hair. “Hey， what
　　a great idea! I love it! Yes， let’s do our nails and hair together，” said Olive excitedly. With that， Lilirella called to her servants and bid them， “…bring me all my nail polish collection， nail stickers and bring my curling tongs， combs and gold hair brushes too! Now!” She looked at Olive and the two of them put their hands over their mouths and guffawed and snorted with laughter. Her servants headed off back to the house to collect all the items the girls needed.
　　Then Olive said， “Lilli， I think we should have
　　a costume show as well， so that when our hair and nails are looking magnificent， we’ll look fantastic in
　　our fine clothes and elegant shoes too.
　　Lilirella thought Olive’s suggestion to have a costume show was brilliant. She loved the idea， and
　　promptly arranged for her servants to lay out her fine gowns， satin shoes and jewellery so they could dress up once they’d done their hair and nails.
　　“I’m famished! I could eat a whole elephant on my own”， said Lilirella， her stomach rumbling like an
　　angry volcano.
　　“Me too!” exclaimed Olive， feeling hungerpangs in her tummy. With that， Lilirella called out once more to her servants. “We need snacks immediately! Please
　　bring us a selection of cheese sticks， nuts and raspberry flavoured unicorn cupcakes.” Both girls looked at each other and rubbed their empty tummies as they thought about how good all their snacks would taste. As they were thinking about this， the first lot of servants were returning with all the things they had asked for so they could do each other’s hair and nails.
　　It was very exciting. Not long after， the other servants came back with a huge tray of yummy snacks and placed them next to the girls. “Would the young misses care to have some refreshments?” asked Lilirella maid servant. “Yes， we would， Millie， replied Lilli politely. Please bring a selection of our finest soft drinks. My dear friend， Olive would love some blue Coca Cola and we both would like thee cups of pink coke， two cups of blue coke and a cup of raspberry flavoured Cola. Can you also bring two small red umbrellas and some straws so that we can share the drinks?”
　　After the girls had finished their blue Coke and
　　all the other drinks and snacks， they began to do their hair and nails.
　　Lilirella and Olive started on each other’s nails
　　first. Olive said， “I’ll do your nails first - what
　　pictures do you want?”
　　“I want starry sky design on my nails”， said Lilli.
　　“Ok， said Olive， I can do that…”。 Olive picked several different colours like light and dark blue， purple and white. Olive had a good sense of colour， and included some glow-in-the-dark turquoise to use as a foundation colour to help make Lilli’s night sky glow in the dark of night. Olive began to paint the base colour on all of Lilli’s nails， and then， one by one， she painted the night sky and stars and galaxy clusters on each fingernail. Her face changed from moment to moment; her lips would purse and pucker， sometimes as she placed very fine stars on the nails， she would peer intently， her tongue just showing a little between her lips at the corner of her mouth.
　　At other times， as she progressed from finger to finger， Olive would close one eye completely and squint with the other to make sure that every tiny
　　star was placed exactly where she wanted it be. After a while Lilli’s fingernails started to look amazing. It was as if the heavens had come down to visit her fingers and stay for a while.
　　Lilli looked at what Olive had done and was completely amazed and overjoyed.
　　She couldn’t believe how fantastic her fingers looked， and couldn’t wait to see them glow like in the
　　night like real stars and galaxies when the sun went
　　down.
　　“Wow! That’s amazing， Olive. I didn’t know you could paint that good. You’re an artist and you have made my fingers look exactly like how a princess’s fingers should look!”
　　Olive was delighted that Lilli loved what she had
　　created with the nail polish， yet she was very humble
　　and thanked her best friend for such a kind compliment. Olive’s face lit up， her eyes sparkled
　　and she had a lovely soft smile on her lips. Once the nail polish on Lilli’s fingers had dried， it was her turn to paint Olive’s fingernails. The first thing she did was to begin to file and buff Olives nails
　　so that they looked well-manicured.
　　Then， she helped Olive choose the nail polish she wanted on her fingers. Olive looked closely at each of the colours and chose a beautiful， rich iridescent shocking pink. It was stunning!
　　With that， Lilli put cotton wool between each of
　　Olives fingers and began to paint each nail with slow
　　deliberation， making sure not to smudge the polish
　　and to get every stroke even and as perfect as she
　　could.
　　After all， she felt she had to give Olive as good
　　a nail job as Olive had given her – they were best
　　friends forever， after all!
　　Lilli and Olive took time to sip their blue cola
　　and admire the terrific job they had each
　　done on each other’s nails. Their fingers
　　looked great and the nail polish glistened in
　　the afternoon sunlight as they sat and talked by the
　　pool.
　　Next on the ‘to do’ list was their hair. The girls
