What about Water Fairies? When I was 4, my big sister showed me he water fairies underwater at the bottom of the pool. Now, when you're four... those tiny blurry tingies at the bottom of the pool look kind of magical when you're floating around down there, and they float and shimmer around. We would always try and catch one, make a wish, then set her free again to get our wish. *Still today, as a grown woman, I always stop to try and find tiny fairies under the water, wherever I swim, remembering that memory, and passing it on to other kids.
