When i was a kid in school the teachers told us that fairies lived in the trees on the field that would hide smarties on your birthday for you to find, and if you knock very gently on their doors (the knots in trees that are smooth) they might come out. weren't we fooled!!!... still enjoyed the smarties 'the fairies' left for us!!
