The local legend has it that a gnome lives in the woods and takes refuge during the day. Aye, but at night the little fellow scurries about, playing with squirrels and eating fresh berries. Find him in day, and good fortune comes your way. Or so the locals say.

Joe, you’ve made me hungry. And not a cookie in the house. Mike, you think that elf would share? I think I can see him, or maybe it’s a trick of the light. But something is there. Great shot! Love the play of light!

So far the only thing that has happened is I got bit by a spider, on the knee.

Keebler elves would be better than a regular gnome. At least you’ll get a variety of cookies.

True that. This guy just sat there acting like he wasn’t real.

Going on the fact it likes fresh berries, it could be a gastro-gnome. Then again, playing with squirrels?… definitely a metro-gnome.

I believe it is gastrometronic.

Love the idea that an elf is down there. If you get a flashlight we might be able to see. 🙂

I am thinking he might not take kindly to being awakened with a bright light in his face.

Fair enough. I will have to remain curious.

Looks like the gnome is a spy of some sort. Your good fortune, I think, is well earned for having such a good eye. 😉
