"The Queen of Fairies she caught me,
In yon green hill to dwell.
And pleasant is the fairy land,
But, an eerie tale to tell,
Aye, at the end of seven years,
We pay a tithe to Hell.
I am so fair and full of flesh,
I'm feared it be mysel'"
-Tam Lin (Scottish poem)

🍄Nursery Rhymes-
Out in the moonlight
Where no one can see
The Mushroom Folk
Sow Magic amongst the trees.
One for the mossy ground
By the gnome's front door,
Two for the decaying leaves
On the forest floor.

The North wind doth blow and we shall have snow,
And what will poor robin do then, poor thing?
He’ll sit in a barn and keep himself warm
and hide his head under his wing, poor thing.

Nursery Rhymes
~3 little kittens, they lost their mittens
And they began to cry
"Oh, mother dear, we sadly fear
We've lost our mittens by"
"What! Lost your mittens? you naughty kittens
Then you shall have no pie"

Mary Mary quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockleshells
And pretty maids all in a row.

Four-leaf clovers grow where fairies tread...

I'll seek a four-leafed Clover
In all the Fairy dells,
And if I find the charmed leaf,
Oh, how I'll weave my spells!

Aesop's Fables comments on the intelligence of crows in "The Crow and the Pitcher," which is not so much a fable on perseverance and cleverness, as it is an observable fact that crows are problem-solvers.
