Vampires at work and play

Tuuli: I'm going to crochet some clothes for us. Do you think there is enough thread in this cone to crochet an outfit for both of us?

Pyry: I think there is enough thread to start a business of selling crocheted outfits - in case you can crochet.


Tuuli: Of course I can crochet.

Pyry: Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

After a while Pyry comes back to check Tuuli's progress.

Pyry: What is this?

Tuuli: I think it could be a scarf.

Pyry: It looks a bit narrow. Don't you think a scarf should be a bit broader?

Tuuli: Do you think so? I'll try again.


Pyry: I wonder if this chain could be used as a lasso to catch some dinosaurs or dragons....

After some time Pyry returns to check Tuuli's progress again.

Pyry: Hey, this scarf looks like the right breadth, but isn't is a bit too long?

Tuuli: Do you think so?


Niks: We heard that you might have a scarf here.

Naks: We have heard that there might be a job opening for football hooligans.

Niks: And we also heard that one needs a scarf for that job.

Naks: The one you have looks just suitable for the purpose. May we have it?

Tuuli: You are welcome.


Niks: Do you think this scarf is the right color for any football team?

Naks: I have no idea. Lets go find out.

Tuuli: I guess I must restart again...

Pyry: Make something else, no more scarfs.

Tuuli: OK. No more scarfs.

After some time Pyry returns to check Tuuli's progress.

Pyry: Wow! Did you make that dress?

Tuuli: Yes. Do you like it?

Pyry: Well, at least it is the right size...


Tuuli: Boys don't understand anything about pretty clothes. I think this looks nice. Don't you agree?

Hairy Story

The little vampires look fully recovered - except for hair...

Tuuli: Pyry, do you think our hair will ever grow back?

Pyry: Don't you like being a skinhead vampire?

Tuuli: No! Haitula, do you have some potion for hair growth?

Haitula: Unfortunately no...


Niks: But we have a solution...

Naks: This fine hair elixir is guaranteed to produce hair anywhere. On you chest. On your head. Anywhere you want.

Haitula: Wait a minute, I bet that stuff grows troll hair.

Niks: But of course. It will grow troll hair even on a billiard ball.

Naks: If you happen to want a hairy billiard ball.

Haitula: And what is it made of? More frogs and poisonous snakes?

Niks: Of course not. Those are not hairy. It is made of hairy spiders

Haitula: Yuck. You are not putting any of this stuff on the poor vampires. I'll put it into a safe place.


Niks: Stupid Haitula. He always ruins our patent medicine business. But we have something else in store...

After a while Niks and Naks return with a cartload of something hairy...

Naks: Here it is! A beautiful selection of the most excellent wigs.

Niks: The best you can find in these parts!


Tuuli: Oooooooh, where did you get these?

Niks: A friend of ours is a hairdresser.

Naks: A troll hairdresser.

Niks: And this guy called Mr. Organizer paid a visit.

Naks: And said that she must clear the loose troll hair out of her shop at least once a year.

Niks: And we helped her.

Naks: And were left with a huge pile of troll hair.

Niks: So we decided to start our own wig business.

Naks: The patent medicine business is not flourishing, you know,

Niks: At least not as long as Haitula is around. He confiscates all our finest potions.

Tuuli and Pyry start trying on the wigs.

Tuuli: This looks rather wild, don't you think?

Pyry: Well, this is troll hair... But I think I'll try something else...


Tuuli: Aaaah... these are so white and fluffy... We look like little angels.

Pyry: Angels with pointed ears. And I don't want to look like an angel. Let's try something else...


Pyry: I think this looks cool. Not too fluffy and not too long. I'll take this one.

Tuuli: And I'll take the black one. I want something more dramatic now that I am a vampire, you know.

Niks: You must pay, then.

Tuuli: But we have nothing.

Naks: Just bring us a frog for supper.

Pyry: I know where we can find a frog. Come, Tuuli.

Soon the vampires return with a frog.

Tuuli: Here's your frog. Treat him kindly.

Niks: We'll cook him very gently... Hey that's a stuffed toy!

Tuuli: We are vegetarians, we don't know anything about cooking animals for supper. I thought they are supposed to be stuffed first...

Naks: Yes, but not with cotton!

Niks: We give up. Keep the stuffed frog. And keep all the wigs too. There was no market for them anyway.

Naks: No. No trolls lack hair.

Niks: Especially if they use the fine elixir Haitula confiscated.


Pyry: If you kiss the frog, he may turn into a prince!

Tuuli: XXXXX

Pyry: Be careful, don't bite him or he will turn into a vampire.


Tuuli: Look! He turned into a prince!

Pyry: He was a frog prince to start with. He was supposed to turn into a human prince.

Tuuli: What would I do with a human prince? He would probably just step on me. Humans are soooo big, you know. You are just jealous because you don't have a toy.

Pyry: But I do! Look, I have an elephant on wheels. And I did not need to kiss him either, he just followed me home.

Tuuli: I bet he did because you are holding the string!

Awakening

Haitula found a magic recipe for a potion that was supposed to revive the little pixies Umbriel and Haitula raked out of the River of Tuonela - and it looks like Haitula's potion is working!


Umbriel: Look! It is working! They are waking up!

Haitula: I said it would work.

Aniara: The poor little things need clothes. I'll go and see if I find some dolly clothes that fit...


Aniara: Here are some clothes that look about the right size. Let's see if they fit...


Aniara: A little loose, but they will do...

Haitula: Can you pixies speak? Do you have names?


Girl: My name is Tuuli. It means "wind".

Boy: And my name is Pyry. It means "snowfall" and not just any snowfall, a heavy one with lots of snow.

Tuuli: And when you put wind and snowfall together...

Pyry: ...you get a BLIZZARD!

Aniara: I bet you are hungry, would you like to eat something?

Pyry: I wonder if you have any blood oranges?

Haitula: It just happens we do. I'll get you some.

The little pixies eagerly grab the oranges and start to suck...

Haitula: Ummm... I think you are supposed to peel them first...


Tuuli: What?

Haitula: They sucked the oranges dry!

Tuuli: I suppose we must confess...

Pyry: ... we are vampires.


Tuuli: There was this vampire, you see.

Pyry: And he bit us.

Tuuli: But as we were vegetarian pixies, we turned into vegetarian vampires.

Pyry: We hate to bite people. But we love to suck blood oranges and strawberries dry.

Tuuli: But the gardeners did not like it....

Pyry: So we ended into the River of Tuonela... We thought that was a bit drastic, but people are afraid of vampires and wanted to get rid of all of them.

Tuuli: But you can't kill vampires by throwing them into a river. Even if it is the River of Tuonela.


Tuuli: We are very grateful to you for saving us, but now that you know we are vampires, I suppose we must leave.

Pyry: But we would not mind getting a few more of those blood oranges to take with us and eat on the way...

Aniara: Nonsense. There's no need to leave, you just said you are vegetarians.

Umbriel: Just promise you don't bite any people. Not even trolls and Zumikloxians.

Tuuli: We promise! We'll only bite vegetables.

Pyry: If you have some broccoli you hate, we are glad to bite it dead and suck it dry for you!
