Realization

So I've been shooting video in a nearby forest. It's part of a reservoir, and so there are a lot of people who fish at the water. I was sitting in between a few trees off the path, and a fisherman saw me and said, "Hey, I found a leprechaun!" 

It occurred to me that elves, fairies, leprechauns, gnomes, and other assorted fantastical woodland creatures are just artists making weird videos.
