There once was a little spirit that the children loved. Usually in the forest he would sing his songs and play the flute and mess about with the birds and other such beasts. At times he would come out to the village where the people lived and play with the children he liked.
Einaferð var tað ein lítil andi, sum børnini elskaðu. Í skóginum sang hann tíðum sínar sangir og spældi floytu og tvassaði runt við fuglunum og øðrum slíkum djórum. Viðhvørt kom hann út í bygdina, har fólkini búðu, og spældi við børnini, sum honum dámdi.
