While visiting the magical world to buy necessities, David has a brief adventure with a prankster Leprechaun, meets a cantankerous potion-selling Hag, and even makes friends with a Faun, who races and plays with the boy before joining his people for an alluring dance in the Forest.
Using their collected magical items, the Phoenix and David sabotage the Scientist's equipment and frighten him into leaving town-at least for the moment.
