Fairies arc part of the British, Irish, northern European, Scandinavian and old Celtic cultures. There are many stories about fairies. Some are called fairy tales. 
In Peter Pan Tinker Bell is Peter's fa江y. The fairies of Neverland are Peter's friends. In Pinocchio there is a kind fairy called the Blue Fairy. She always helps Pinocchio. In Cinderella a fairy godmother is Cinderella's good friend. 
There are fairies in one of William Shakespeare's plays too. 
In A Midsummer Night's Dream Oberon and Titania are the 
king and queen of the fairies. 
American and British children believe in the tooth fairy. 
When a child's tooth falls out he/she puts it under the pillow 1 and goes to sleep. During the night the tooth fairy takes the 
tooth and puts money or sweets under the pillow. The next morning the child finds the surprise and is very happy
