At the house

Joe In The Roots. He lives between the roots of the trees - his favorite is the appletree. Being brown and gnarled he seems to be a root himself. One eye is brown, one green. And his hair is colored like veined wood. Most of all he takes care of the trees, but also for everything else with roots. He is a profit for every garden. All you have to do is to allow him to take some vegetable for his own use - and little it is! And in times of fruit-gathering make sure, that two or three fruits are left on their branches - for Joe In The Roots. He will be pleased, you'll see.

Zwirnli, the House-Sprite is in trouble deep! Even a spirit has to mend his socks sometimes. And that is, where problems start. You have a needle and you have twine, but somehow they do not fit together... 
It is cristal clear, this woodsprite is not used to sewing. So needlework becomes a big problem to him. But shurely he will hit the eye of the needle at last and then his sock will soon be ready to be worn again.
