Line 3: ''It is curiously true'' ''That the dragons you disparage'' ''Choose not to believe in you."''~~\|'''Jack Prelutsky''', ''The Dragons Are Singing Tonight''}}~~ \|'''Jack Prelutsky''', ''The Dragons Are Singing Tonight''}} Two races, or tribes, were familiar with each other's existence a long time ago but they have gone ages without contact with each other, and now each believes the other to be creatures of legend, that either never existed or died out long ago. Line 10 ⟶ 11: Compare [[Mutually Fictional]], where the two sides really did originate as (or still are) only stories to each other. {{examples}}▼ ▲{{examples}} == [[Advertising]] == * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Knidq8QClHw This Christmas M&Ms ad]. Verbatim with the trope even. Line 23 ⟶ 24: == [[Film]] == * ~~Refernced~~Referenced and inverted in ''[[The Muppet Movie]]'', in the Electric Mayhem's song "Can You Picture That": {{quote\|''Fact is there's nothing out there you can't do,'' ''Yeah, even Santa Claus believes in you!'' }} Line 30 ⟶ 31: == [[Literature]] == * In ''[[Alice in Wonderland\|Through the Looking Glass]]'', when Alice meets the Unicorn, it asks what she is. When told that she is a child, it replies, stunned, "I always thought they were fabulous monsters!" When Alice confesses that she always believed that ''unicorns'' were fabulous monsters, the Unicorn says, "Well, if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you," to which Alice agrees. * In ''[[The Lion, the Witch and the ~~Wardrobe\|The Lion, The Witch, and The~~ Wardrobe]]'', Tumnus the faun reacts this way to Lucy the first time he meets her, and owns a book called ''Is Man a Myth?'' * In [[J. R. R. ~~Tolkien\|JRR~~ Tolkien]]'s ''[[Farmer Giles of Ham]]'', younger dragons seem to think that the Knights are just a myth. The older ones know better, although they admit that they are few and far, and not a danger anymore. ** Which is true. The King and his Knights are pretty useless. The only person who can effectively deal with the Dragon is a fat, red-headed farmer who doesn't like trespassers—even if they are scaly and breathe fire. * There's a picture book about a little monster who cannot sleep because he thinks there are human children under his bed. His parents desperately tries to tell him human children are just made-up creatures, but what works is when he meets a real kid and learn that while they are real, they are not dangerous. * ''[[The Dragon With the Girl Tattoo]]'' by Adam Roberts, a spoof of ''[[The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo]]'', is set in a world where dragons are the dominant species, and humans are a myth. == [[Live Action TV]] == Line 43: == [[Video Games]] == * In the eroge ''[[Let's Meow Meow!]]'', the main character gets an [[Unwanted Harem]] of animal-eared girls from another dimension. It is revealed that humans - called "monkey-people", because our ears look like those of monkeys to them - are believed to be mythical or at least extinct. * In ''[[Maple Story]]'', Fox Point Village is a secluded community of kitsune-like people who have never seen humans, and when Shade appears, they assume he lost his tail in some terrible accident and wonder how he can even hear without the fox-like ears they have. == [[Web Comics]] ==
