2 The child

Without any children that came to visit him and drown, the nokken became very lonely and played tunes of solitude on his violin.

But one day many years later, when the nokken was swimming in the stream, he heard the sound of a child. A little girl hummed for herself while picking mushrooms.

Little girl:"~if i stay away from the stream, i wont fall in. Even if i do, i can swim. Im not sure im not sure if the nokken does exist. But if thats true i will resist!~."

The nokken smiled finally! a child had come into the forest!

("Still you will come to me poor little girl. No one escapes the nokken's lure!~")

But oh, the nokken remembered that he didn't have his violin on him while taking a swim!
