There is one little story I've always found interesting, about a magic red string. The belief is, that every human being has a red string tied around their little finger. The other end is tied around the person, that one day, they will marry. In other words, their soul mate. The red string is unbreakable, no matter how much it gets pulled or knotted, it will not snap. This story is a lie. Of course, the humans know this. However. They have no idea how close they came to the truth.
