I know a lot of people are looking forward to the
movie here, and are quite annoyed at the delay.  We do
have local equivalents of elves, dwarves, and trolls,
but they're kind of sinister.  Like if you offend this
little man who lives in a mound, he'll make you itch.
And if you walk in the forest at night, you should
carry a banana leaf so that you won't get hit by
falling ashes from the cigar that the big kapre in the
tree is smoking.
