As a child (all throughout elementary school) I believed in fairies with a few of my friends. We bought books on fairies, pretended to be fairies, and tried to find a fairy. All my childhood life I hoped to find a fairy or step into a fairy ring (circle of mushrooms) so that I, too, could turn in to a fairie.
