Every day I walk in the countryside, and every day I see something new. Someone has a new wall, with a large adornment. What is this? Is it a Cornish pixie or good spirit or a hobgoblin? Is he one of the Little People? Is he benign? Is he scary? Are you frightened? He doesn't look angry. He looks rather sleepy. Perhaps he is thinking. A statue "The Thinker" by Rodin is more troubling. Do you like tales of supernatural beings and heros? You could read this little story and play a computer game at the same time. Shakespeare wrote a play called "A Midsummer Night's Dream". He mentions woodbine (honeysuckle) and eglantine (dog rose) - like these plants.
