Out of bed scrambled Daisy , her sleepy eyes opening wider and wider with surprise and pleasure as she listened and wondered . `` Where is it ? '' she said , popping her head out of the window . The morning-glories only danced lightly on their stems , the robins chirped shrilly in the garden below , and the wind gave Daisy a kiss ; but none of them answered her , and still the lovely music sounded close beside her . `` It 's a new kind of bird , perhaps ; or maybe it 's a fairy hidden somewhere . Oh , if it is how splendid it will be ! '' cried Daisy ; and she began to look carefully in all the colored cups , under the leaves of the woodbine , and in the wren 's nest close by . There was neither fairy nor bird to be seen ; and Daisy stood wondering , when a voice cried out from below : `` Why , little nightcap , what brings you out of your bed so early ? '' `` O Aunt Wee ! do you hear it -- that pretty music playing somewhere near ! I ca n't find it ; but I think it 's a fairy , do n't you ? '' said Daisy , looking down at the young lady standing in the garden with her hands full of roses . Aunt Wee listened , smiled , and shook her head . `` Do n't you remember you said last night that you thought the world a very stupid , grown-up place , because there were no giants and fairies in it now ? Well , perhaps there are fairies , and they are going to show themselves to you , if you watch well . '' Daisy clapped her hands , and danced about on her little bare feet ; for , of all things in the world , she most wanted to see a fairy . `` What must I do to find them , Aunt Wee ? '' she cried , popping out her head again with her cap half off , and her curly hair blowing in the wind . `` Why , you see , they frolic all night , and go to sleep at dawn ; so we must get up very early , if we want to catch the elves awake . They are such delicate , fly-away little things , and we are so big and clumsy , we shall have to look carefully , and perhaps hunt a long time before we find even one , '' replied Aunt Wee , very gravely .
`` Mamma says I 'm quick at finding things ; and you know all about XXXXX , so I guess we 'll catch one .
