‘I was waiting for the tooth fairy when I was seven years. In Norway we put the tooth in a glass or egg-holder of water in the window. In the morning coins are in the water. She looked exactly like Tinkerbell in real life, and I had only seen Tinkerbell from Disney in the Christmas special on TV at that time and this wasn’t in the winter or it would have been dark outside and I saw her clearly sitting up slightly in the bed and the curtains moved as she pushed the curtains aside with her hand to see me. I saw her wings too and she had green leaves for clothes. Or a green short dress. I got scared and ran out, got juice from my mom in the kitchen and when I got back it was gone. I didn’t get money from her.’ ‘Exactly like Disney’s Tinkerbell’. ‘The forest outside is mainly Scots pine and I’ve read fairies like that’.A fairy ‘because it looked like a fairy, but it’s always possible it pretended to be one’. A fairy is ‘someone who loves and take care of nature. Who brings justice. Who try to be worshipped instead of God. Who is ready to bring magic into the world if mankind deserves it. Who tries to get souls to the fairy world instead of heaven.’ ‘Fairies could be more dangerous than demons because they are more attractive and no matter how good it’s in the fairy world it’s not heaven and it’s for ever, I think’.
