Malli is the granddaughter of the supposedly fearsome witch who lives in the northern forest—and a scrappy, make-a-living witch herself! Desperate to sell any potion that will bring in cash, Malli happens to meet a tiny, precious fairy named Prim. She captures Prim, planning to brew a “special elixir” from “fairy essence” and make a tidy profit—but there’s just one problem: she has no idea how to obtain a fairy’s “essence.” Malli tries hard to coax the method out of Prim, but he stubbornly refuses to explain how essence is produced. At last, after relentless sweet-talking and threats, Prim points to his middle and says… “Fairy essence is a bodily fluid that comes out from here, you idiot!!”
