If there hadn't been any rain in a while, the ground at my school would dry up and form large cracks.
I was sure that a little gnome family lived underground and I would go into the playground and lie down and talk to them through the cracks.
I also push food down their and write little notes for them.
Some of my friends were convinced it was true too and we did this every year until we were about 11.
