“Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”

Simplified Meaning:

Imagine you have a lovely garden. You can enjoy its beauty just by looking at the bright flowers, smelling their fragrance, and listening to the birds sing. You don’t need to tell yourself that magical creatures like fairies are hiding among the plants to appreciate how wonderful the garden is. It’s about finding joy in what is real and present, without needing to believe in something extra or imaginary. For example, when you watch a beautiful sunset, you don't need to think there's magic behind it to feel happy about how colorful the sky looks. In life, appreciating simple, real things can bring just as much happiness. This helps you focus on what's truly there and be content with what you have. So, when you see something beautiful or good, enjoy it for what it is, without needing to add anything that isn't actually there.
