This is true and that is what I imagine

So,  teeth fall. It is a bilogical process. There is science that explains the why and how and when.
And then there is the tooth fairy. And she sneaks in at night through the window or the door or the chimney and sometime she jingles but not loud to wake anyone up and she slips a present under the pillow and takes the tooth away. Sometimes she is too busy fixing an elephant's cavity in India so she can't be at the tooth loss house in Japan so she sends an elf or a pixie.

Water is a chemical substance. It is a chemical substance with the chemical formula H2O, containing one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms connected by covalent bonds. It is that.
And then are water faries and water nymphs. And sea monsters that threaten the pirates that sail the ferocious seas. And mermaids that lead the sailors to safety and water nymphs that are things of beauty.

The moon is  the only natural satelite of the earth and the fifth largest satellite in the solar system.  system. The Moon is in synchronous rotation with Earth, always showing the same face with its near side marked by dark volcanic maria that fill between the bright ancient crustal highlands and the prominent impact craters. It is  the brightest object in the sky after the Sun, although its surface is actually very dark, with a reflectance similar to that of coal.
And then the cow jumped over the moon. The old lady that lives in the moon. And sometimes the mice eat the moon so you can only see half of it. But then the sun makes the moon grow whole again.

There is the human body and the human mind. And it can all be explained in atoms and molecules and DNA. And how we think and what life is and the end. And then there is the soul and destiny and karma and afterlife and events in your life that are somewhat inexplicable.

The universe explained and the universe unexplored.

The ground we can tread and the galaxies that we can't.

In everything there is what it is and there is what can be imagined.
