Ralph and the Pixie

Ralph frowned. ‘So, She’s told us that She’s in trouble. Now what?’

‘Now, we know,’ Theuli said, almost inaudibly. ‘That is all, at least for now.’

‘I don’t understand you,’ Ralph said. ‘Doesn’t this mean that we should go to where she is and help her?’

Theuli smiled kindly at his incomprehension.

‘Ralph, She is the Earth Mother. One may as well try to rescue the wind.’

Still not understanding, Ralph said, ‘I guess I just don’t get it. If the wind was trapped inside a bottle, wouldn’t you just break the glass?’
