Short Story with a long magic word!
Posted: 24 Dec 2016, 11:45
Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me find the following story:
Some naughty elves, or brownies or such are banished for their mischief. On their subsequent travels they encounter a monster of some kind who can only be vanquished by reciting a magic word which is too long for any of the brownies to remember. So they each memorise one part of the word, climb into the monster's home, and when he comes home jump out, each reciting one part of the word and defeating the monster. Needless to say that puts them back in everyone's good books.
Anyone know it?
Many thanks.
