Fairy Steps

If you go to the woods, when the night dew has settled on the ground, if you are lucky, and not seen, you may see the fairies and elves playing and dancing. The are often on the wing, or floating in the air, but the forest light of the fireflies.

The darkness of the woods is where this magic can be found. Sometimes their swiling dance touches the ground, and where their magical feet touch the grass mushrooms spring up, and as their dances are always in a circle, mushroom circles spring up.

Should you come to the woods in the morning and see a mushroom circle, you know that the fairies and elves were dancing here the night before.
