No Such Things As Fairies.

On hearing these words I smiled to myself. Looking over to where the voice came from I saw an elderly man. Sitting on his balding head were two Fairies. One of the two took hold of one of the man’s grey hairs and pulled it from his head. The other Fairy waved her magic wand and two new hairs grew where the other Fairy had pulled the hair out. I smiled again.

The man sitting next to the man that said there are no such things as Fairies then spoke, “I myself am not so sure, where did Shakespeare get his fairies from in the piece that he wrote called; A midsummer nights dream?” “He must have had some idea and what about the tooth Fairy, who puts the coin under a child’s pillow when the child looses a tooth?”

“Remember the old saying there are many things on this earth that cannot be explained. I myself think that there must be some truth in what so many people believe in.”

I looked again over to where the two men were sitting; the fairy that had waved her wand and replaced the hair that the other Fairy had pulled out of the man’s head. She waved her magic wand again and I swear that the beer left in the man’s glass doubled itself the glass was now nearly full of beer.

Rubbish I still say there are no such things as fairies, no one can change my mind about that. Fairies are things from someone’s imagination. The hair pulling fairy actually kicked the elderly man’s head. Pushing his hand up to his head he said, “Flies at this time of the year, I thought they had all gone away for the winter. Another kick from the hair pulling Fairy and the man got up from his chair with the remark. “I have had enough I am going home where there are no flies to bother me.” The two Fairies followed the man out of the door of the public House and left me with a silly grin on my face, I was wondering if they accompanied him to his home and what the two Fairies would get up to, to prove that Fairies did exist even if only in Shakespeare’s Midsummer Nights Dream.
