Mischiefa and the Seven Stone Sisters

The story

Mischiefa can make anyone laugh, but her pranks often go too far. After tricking Afraido with half-buried sleds, she zooms down the mountain on her mischief mat, rolls into a snowball, and vanishes.

She stops in a green Irish garden at Blarney Castle, ringed by seven tall stones that whisper back. One stone sister is cursed, and breaking the spell means kissing the famous Blarney Stone.

The real place: Blarney Castle

Three things to tell your kid after the story.

1. 1To kiss the Blarney Stone, visitors lie on their backs and lean backward over a drop while holding iron bars.
2. 2Legend says kissing it gives you "the gift of the gab," which means talking in a clever, charming way.
3. 3The gardens at Blarney Castle really have a ring of standing stones called the Seven Sisters.
