„”There ought to be one fairy for every boy and girl.””Ought to be? Isn’t there?””No. You see children know such a lot now, they soon don’t believe in fairies, and every time a child says, ‘I don’t believe in fairies,’ there is a fairy somewhere that falls down dead.”“

— J. M. Barrie

This is one of their best tricks.“
