It was, the 'girls' admitted it years later, but what a good hoax.
I wrote a poem about their story.
A Fairy Story
Two little girls, a century ago
Crossed a stream in their garden to play
"But we can see no Fairies here"
"We'll perhaps see some today".
Then a game they made to show
That Fairies were indeed there
In that lovely garden, a long long time ago.
They borrowed Daddy's camera
And filmed Fairies flying round
With gossamer wings outstretched
And showed all what they had found.
The people were astonished
They couldn't understand
How children so young, inexperianced
Had filmed a Fairy band.
No one could find a flaw
In the pictures the children took
And all declared them genuine
Then someone wrote a book.
Their fame spread far and wide
People flocked to see
The stream and the glade
Where the Fairies were said to be.
But, like all things human
The excitment soon went away
Leaving that lovely garden
Littered, broken and grey.
All the damage that was done
The Family did repair
The children, to their Parents
Said, "Never again, we swear".
Many years have passed
Since that fateful day
The children, now old ladies
Came clean, as to how they
Had filmed the Fairies in the glen
With cardboard cutouts on cotton strings
And cellophane
For Fairy wings.
