Have you ever seen a fairy ring? I didn't know what they were until my pa pointed them out, because I was too busy chasing squirrels. However, they are all over my neighborhood.
In England, where my pa is from, they say that fairy rings are the result of fairies or elves dancing. In Germany, fairy rings were said to mark the site of witches. The Dutch claim that the circles are where the Devil set his milk churn. Other countries say fairy rings are the result of flying dragons and are guarded by giant bug-eyed toads that curse anyone who step into the fairy ring!
I think I'll stick to squirrels, thank you very much.
