Foretopman

Foretopman – a member of a ship’s crew stationed on the foretop (a platform at the head of a fore lower most of a ship).

Foretopman is a game that fairies play on humans. When the humans come into the area where fairies live, four of the fairies fly around the human’s head and crawl up into his hair. The human always thinks that it is just flies buzzing in and out, but that is what makes the fairies laugh. They like to make the humans flap their hands and shake their heads. To make the other fairies laugh even louder, they sometimes buzz into the ear of the humans. The humans dance around trying to get rid of the buzzing sound. All the fairies come to watch the dance and laugh. In fact some of them laugh so hard that they fall off the flowers that they were sitting on. This makes them all laugh even more.
