The Trolls in the Tree

This is "Spill No. 2" in the 'Splenidferous Spillage' series of the Cartoon Wizard and the Color Witch.

After the Witch and the Wizard realize that each bucket of color contains a story (see book no.1- The Splendiferous Spillage of the Cartoon Wizard and the Color Witch) they tip over another one.

Three of the orneriest trolls emerge and complain of their woes and misfortune. Being disliked by everyone and everything just isn’t very fun. They come to the conclusion that they don’t want to be trolls anymore. But how are they to do that?

The Witch and Wizard send their special magic to them in the form of three troll-fairies.

With the help of their fairy guides, the trolls 'meet' a stately tree that at first doesn't like them much either. 'Tree' emanates an incredible light but it is sickly and dying. It has no substance to root it to the life giving earth.

The meeting of the two energies is a dance between shadow and light. Both the earthy,dark trolls and the light and airy tree finally realize this and their willingness to let go and help the other turns out to benefit both.

Included in this wonderful tale is a basic art lesson where children (and their parents) can also learn simple techniques about creating three dimensional values (using the qualities of light and dark) to their drawings.
