This creature lives in a small log cabin high on one of the Eastern hills. He is three feet tall, and has the most innocent looking face imaginable. Distinguishing features include pointed ears, an upturned nose and feet that look too big for the pixie’s body. Don’t be fooled by his appearance, as this creature is VERY DANGEROUS.

Samuel stopped reading because the Truth Pixie was talking.

“What is that matter? Do you not want to eat the lovely soup?”

“No,” said Samuel, staring at the Pixie’s large feet. “I mean yes…I mean I wasn’t not eating it. I just dropped a bit. On my knee.”

He pushed the book farther under the table so the Truth Pixie couldn’t see. The creature gave his guest a suspicious look.

Samuel didn’t want to explain what he was reading, for obvious reasons.

He spotted a brown loaf on top of the small oven in a silver tray. “Can I have some bread, please? It’s just…I like to dip it into my soup.”

The Truth Pixie stood as still as a picture, with a face halfway between a smile and a frown.

“You want bread with my soup?”

“Er…yes…please.”

“Bread with soup! What a funny request!”

“It’s…um…quite normal where I come from. And I can share it with my dog.”

The Truth Pixie looked like he was about to get very cross, but he kept the crossness inside and said: “Very well. Bread with soup.”

So the creature turned and walked over to the silver tray and started slicing the bread with a knife. While Samuel wasn’t being watched, he quickly pulled the book from under the table and carried on reading.
