E l v e s this contains the full story as well as my conversation before it.
Today's story is a bit different.
There are actually three stories, but they're all quite short, so it makes sense to put them together.
All of today's stories are about elves.
Elves are magical creatures.
Most people know elves from Lord of the Rings, which is a famous series of fantasy books.
The Lord of the Rings is also some very famous films.
In the Lord of the Rings, there is an elf called Legolas, and he uses a bow and arrow to fight.
Because of books like Lord of the Rings, people think elves are tall and very beautiful and have pointed ears.
They have long ears.
But this is a modern idea of an elf.
In old stories, elves were also small creatures.
They were magical creatures still, but they were not beautiful like modern elves.
That is the kind of elf in this story because this story comes from Grimm Brothers fairy tales.
