Tasso's Oak Fairy

Some time ago, while I was walking up Janiculum Hill , I had a Fairy Meeting!

Do you remember? I succeed in telling you the story only now... Too much things in too little time, and Fairytale needs time and attentions!

Did you pay attention? Did you see the little Fairy flying near the Torquato Tasso Oak? 

I met her while I was visiting the Old Oak, she called me with a ringing voice! She was circling above, like a Fairy Dance, trailing a little light stars in the air. 

She told me she had a highly responsible task for me. She began to tell: "As you know, the old Tasso's Oak doesn't live no more here. This is only her mortal remains. In 1843 Thor struck her by a lightning, because he wanted her with him. But the Old Oak left here an Acorn before to go away. From that Acorn, other Young Oaks was born..."

"The Leaf I'm giving you belongs to one of them, the one that grew nearest the Old Mother Oak. It's a Powerful Amulet and needs your sculpting work."

"My work? What do you mean?" I didn't understand.

"In this Leaf flows the Sap of Old Oak. She heard the Tasso's voice, she felt the hearts of many Poets that in the past years came to visit this Magic Place. In this Leaf flows the Sap of Rome..."

"Yes, I know, it's for these reasons that I love this place, these oaks... when I was a little girl I always came here with my father and I imagined the poet under the Oak! But what have I and my sculpture work got to do with this story?"

"You have to sculpt other Oak Leaves, from this, and send them round the world. They have stories to tell to humans, and them place is hung on heart." 

So, from the cast of that Original Leaf, other Leaves Jewels was born, like from that Acron was born other Young Oak. 

It's a Fairy Job for me. It's a Fairy Gift for you.
