Larkspur and Alyssum are very good-natured and obliging fairies, always concerned with helping others whenever possible. However, when the girls meet a polecat named Sniggerbly Wiskerfink, he puts their charitable and caring feelings to the test by sending them on numerous pointless errands and fruitless tasks. Again and again, the girls are convinced that they must help the polecat: His urgent requests and pleadings are so imperative that his dire needs must be genuine! During this crazy adventure of seeking useless items that include Life's elusive Bowl of Cherries, pink pickles, chartreuse pinecones, and even Mrs. Astor's Pet Horse, the fairies are actually persuaded to chase a goose. Unfortunately, Sniggerbly Wiskerfink has asked for help so many times when he didn't really need it, and sent others on endless useless pursuits for so many long years, no one is willing to come to his aid when he truly finds himself in trouble. Larkspur and Alyssum appear to be his only hope. But has the polecat burned these bridges too?
