时间很快就过去了。到了小女孩儿十八岁的这一天。她的爸爸妈妈把家里所有的桌子都丢了，就是担心第七位仙女说的话变成真的。成为成人的女孩真的特别漂亮，花儿们看到她脸都会红，而且她很听话，每个人都特别喜欢她。这天他们也打算请花仙子们一起来庆祝。爸爸叫女儿去花园请花仙子们来他们的小房子。女儿来到花园，发现地上有一个小小的黑黑的盒子，她很好奇，走过去一看。这个盒子包得很好，就像生日礼物一样。小女孩儿以为是某人给她的生日礼物，她就打开了。盒子里有一个桌子，小小的，很可爱。小女孩儿想把桌子拿起来好好看看，没想到，一拿起这个小桌子，她就睡过去了。当她的爸爸妈妈发现她时，她已经怎么叫也叫不醒了。花仙子们用魔法也没办法叫醒她。这时，大家想起第六位花仙子的礼物，可是不知道去哪儿找这个能救女孩儿的男孩儿。花仙子们让女孩儿的父母把她放在花园里，让日月来给她营养。冬天下雪的时候，花儿们把自己当作被子，不让她感觉太冷；夏天很热的时候，花儿们把自己当作伞，不让她感觉太热。
