"Hoooooooooo-OOOOOOOOOT!"

"Hey, is that wireless telegraphy sending and receiving apparatus almost done yet?"

"Almost," said George, "I think."

"I can't sleep," said Stella.

"It's probably the caffeine in the Dr Pepper, Sweets."

"What time is it?"

"Around midnight," said George.

"Midnight? Hmm..." Stella pulled the blanket up around her shoulders and looked out into the dark. She could see a fire burning about a quarter mile away near the troll cabin. Occasionally a tiny silhouette would appear and then disappear in the firelight, and the fire was so large and the flames were so bright that Stella thought it must be a bonfire.

"Is that the troll?" she asked.

"Where?" asked George.

"Over there near the troll cabin. I think the troll is dancing around a fire."

"Probably still trying to dry off," said George.

Freddy chuckled, remembering the troll's unplanned bath, and then he sat up on his hind legs, sniffed the air and studied the distant bonfire with his superior ferret vision. "That's him, Toots."

"Well, I think it's kinda creepy," said Stella.

"That's what trolls do," said George.

"Dance around bonfires all night?"

"Pretty much."

"Alone?"

"The troll is a solitary creature."

"But what if he decides to come out here and menace us?"

"In what? We have his speedboat."

"A canoe or maybe a kayak..." Stella watched the tiny troll silhouette appear and disappear in the flickering light. "Or a raft made of sticks, limbs and bark."

"I wouldn't worry. After the dunking that troll got today, he isn't going anywhere near the water."

"I wish I could be so sure." Stella leaned back and looked up at all the stars. How could there be so many? Basically the sky was so beautiful it was incomprehensible and overwhelming and almost heartbreaking. "I sure

 " Midnight? Hmm... " Stella pulled the blanket up around her shoulders and look out into the dark. She could see a ardor burning about a quarter mile aside near the troll cabin. Occasionally a tiny silhouette would appear and then disappear in the firelight, and the fire was thus large and the flames were so undimmed that Stella thought it must be a bonfire. 

 " Is that the troll? " she ask. 

 " Where? " asked George. 

 " all over there near the troll cabin. I intend the troll is dancing around a fire. " 

 " credibly still trying to dry off, " said George. 

 Freddy chuckled, remembering the troll's unintentional bathtub, and then he sat up on his hind legs, sniffed the air and studied the distant bonfire with his superior ferret vision. " That's him, Toots. " 

 " Well, I remember it's kinda creepy, " said Stella. 

 " That's what trolls dress, " suppose George. 

 " Dance around bonfires all night? " 

 " reasonably much. "
