The strange creatures that live in the country’s dark forests and waste highlands. Big as a mountain or small as a pebble. They are there so bevare! They have a strong power of magic. This is one of them. The forgetful type. If you have a really unpleasant thing you honestly want to forget, take this crystal troll in your hands. Look it deep in the twinkling eyes and say this magic formula three times, without stumbling: ‘Frufloreliusenspripbuskverkster.’ You will never give the thing a thought again – ever!”
