Pixie

A pixie will appear when it wants you to see it. Do not, whatever you do, look directly at it. It will cavort about, do handstands and flips. It will turn its head into a balloon and float it on a string. It will whine like a puppy and cry like a baby. Ignore it. If you know what's good for you, you'll pay no attention to it. Because what it wants you to do is follow it.

Suppose you did. In the beginning it would be like a child's game of tag, the pixie turning around and laughing, always just a step ahead. Then it would pick up speed, become nimble, dart from bush to rock to tree. You would try to keep up but you'd grow weary doing so. If it were to get to this stage, you'd be done for. You would never be heard from again.

So avoid eye contact. They can be quite entertaining otherwise.
