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.

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!!”
