    (continued from previous page)
    His usual occupation is mending or making boots. While he is making them he sits on a mushroom or under a big tree. There are no stories of people who caught him or tried to make him give up his gold. He is not considered a friendly being. No one in my district ever heard that they have helped human beings, but they heard that they have often taken revenge on those who cut trees or dug on the fort in which they lived.
