Watch out while searching for the cache around here... Muggle Hobgoblins lurk in dark places in these parts.
To avoid waking the Muggle Hobgoblins, you MUST tip-toe quietly around the Fairy Ring at least TWICE in a CLOCKWISE direction, otherwise the mischievous mud-making hobgoblins will do their worst..... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
If you see a fairy ring In a field of grass, Very lightly step around, Tip-Toe as you pass, Last night Fairies frolicked there And they're sleeping somewhere near. If you see a tiny fairy Lying fast asleep Shut your eyes And run away, Do not stay to peek! Do not tell Or you'll break a fairy spell.
