When the first baby laughed for the first time the laughter broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of faeries.

~Peter Pan
By the moone we sport and play,
With the night begins our day,
As we daunce, the dew doth fall,
Trip it little urchins all.
Lightly as the little Bee,
Two by two and three by three;
And about go wee, and about go wee.

~William Shakespeare
Midsummer Nights Dream
