Bratty Half-Pint: The narrator says the boy had been impossible since birth, and usually any effort on his mother's part to make him listen would just make him more inclined to take his own way. He begins getting more obedient, at least about bedtimes, after narrowly avoiding punishment from a fairy mother.

Be Careful What You Wish For: When his mother tries to scare her son by warning him that the fairies are likely to kidnap him, the son says he wishes they would, because he would like playing with one. His weeping mother goes off to bed, sure something will happen after such words. The boy doesn't actually get into any trouble, but he has a near miss with the mother of the fairy child who stopped to play with him.
