The Unforgettable Song On the moors was a mill, and in the mill was a very ugly, but very friendly troll. His name was Sie. Sie was a lonely troll who wished to be loved. One gloomy night when the stars were out, Sie heard a sound he had never heard before- the sound was so beautiful. He peeped through a gap in the door to see where the amazing sound was coming from. Out on the door step stood a pixie dressed in a purple robe. Sie could not believe his eyes and gently closed the door. "It can't possibly be a pixie…can it? Sie thought the pixie was so exquisitely beautiful he decided to let her inside his home. 'Sing for me, sing for me.' Sie pleaded 'Yes you are the only one who truly adores my voice' confessed Flora sweetly. 'Oh Flora how I love you. Do you wish to marry me?' asked Sie expectantly. 'Oh yes, but there is just one problem…' but Sie interrupted before Flora could finish what she wanted to say- he may well wish he had allowed her to finish one day. 'Then we shall get married tomorrow!' In the morning all of Sie's family gathered at a magical clump of rocks called the Cheese ring. When Sie got there he was surprised to see everyone, yet quietly very proud and pleased. Sie was so thrilled with the day he announced that Flora would sing for the happiness of the day. Flora sang beautifully, sweetly…when suddenly… a shot of light flew up into the sky. Out of the light emerged a grand pixie who was in fact Flora's mother. 'Come on Flora, it's time to go home.' whispered her mother. Flora started fluttering up to the light. Sie cried ' Flora, stay with me.' Totally beside himself with shock at what was happening. 'No Sie I cannot. When a pixie sings three times to a troll, the pixie must then go back to Pixitopia- the Pixie's world, never able to return. Sie, I did try to warn you when you asked me to marry you- but you did not listen.' If you are out on the moors at night and you hear a strange , sad , weeping noise it's just Sie crying for his unforgettable love - Flora, the pixie in purple standing on the doorstep.
