When I was little, I lived near the Mississippi River, and we took ferry boats to cross the river and go into town. My grandfather from Texas used to tell us stories about Yip Yip the dog and a "ferry" that lived in a stump. If my grandfather said it, it was true for me. I never questioned this, I just imagined a tiny ferry boat stuck in the stump. My grandfather died when I was 6, so I never heard the stories after that.
It was many years later I realized it was a "fairy" that lived in the stump!!
