As you go up the tree, the first house that you come across is the Angry Pixie's... A neat tiny window, but you dare not peep! The Angry Pixie hates nosey people peeping into his house. Unless you are fond of having water and ink thrown at you, you would want to leave him alone and climb upwards. |
| Here we are...This house with tiny little yellow door, a little knocker and a brightly polished bell belongs to Silky-the elf. Isn't she beautiful? You must have guessed why she's called Silky, its because of her golden silky hair. She is kind little thing and will even make Pop biscuits for you, that go pop and fill your mouth with sweet honey. Oh, maybe some other time Silky thankyou, but we have a long way to go! |

Where's all that noise coming from? Is there an aeroplane coming? Oh no! That's not the aeroplane, that's Mr. Whatzhisname snoring!! Mr. Who? What's his name? Oh, but that's his name. What a funny name! He kept forgetting his name, so everyone called him Whatzhisname and when he did remember, it was so long that everyone decided to call him Whatzhisname. |
| Oh, now what's that's noise? But, we are already past Mr. Whatzhisname's house! Is there a waterfall up the faraway tree? Oh, that's just Dame Washalot washing her clothes and throwing the dirty water. Oh! Watch out!! Slish..slosh..slish..slosh!! I hope you haven't spoiled your clothes. clothes. Phew! Up we go! |

See that opening right the middle of the floor? That's the "Slippery Slip"....Its slides right to the bottom of the tree. I know you are all eager to down down the slippery slip, but we still have to meet the others....So, lets hurry... |
| Here's our dear old Saucepan man with all his sauce pans and kettles tied around him. He doesn't live up the tree, but visits his friends often. isn't he peculiar? All that clattering and banging of his kettles and pans makes him quite deaf at times and creates the funniest situations. Once when Jo said "I am glad of that", Saucepan heard Cat!!! and said "No, I haven't got a cat!" Silly old Saucepan Man! .. |
