until the age of about 4 years, i believed that little peope (elves) lived at the bottom of my bed. Only i could see them, and they only came out after dark. They had a world world on the bottom of my bed, with farms and schools and houses. They had special hats wich allowed them to fly up to me. some world tiggle my toes and feet while they worked on the farm. Others would sit on my knee and tell me things about every thing. they were always friends and i was never scared.
