Little men under the little waterfall

They say that when the humans leave Green Mountain around the end of the day, if you are quiet enough you can here the whispers coming from behind the little waterfall, whose waters are as clear as glass and still no one can see what's really behind them.

On nights where the wind blows those cool refreshing breezes that gently caress the trees, the whispers emerge from behind the crystal waters. One by one the 4 little men walk through the waterfall, each carrying a little bag with little tools. They skip along in a cheerful fashion hoping to find what they're looking for. One stops short and gives notice to the others, as he looks down to get a closer view the other little men peer over his shoulder hoping to get a glimpse of what he finds. A small blue leaved flower with thorns he sees. With a burst of excitement and a kick to the heel he cheerfully picks the flower, carefully so the thorns don't prick him, he runs back towards the waterfall, the others following closely behind him. As they barge into the crystal waters they go inside a cave. They reach the hearth. A small fire burns lightly and over it an iron pot filled with boiling water . Around are little hammocks, a fur rug in the center of the ground, nets, traps and fishing poles, and a bookshelf filled with one fat and old raggedy book.

The little men throw there bags on the ground. The little man who found the flower takes it out of his bag where he put it as he ran back to the cave. He gently lifts it out avoiding the prickers. Then he reaches into his tools and takes out these small wooden tweezers. With a smooth hand he takes off the thorns one by one. With the flower at hand he walks to the boiling pot of water and throws the flower in.

A huge boom sounds through the air, with enough energy to send the dreaming birds who sit every night perched on a tree near the waterfall into calamity. The little men are torched black but run towards the once boiling pot which is now sending a blueish-grey smoke into the air. The little man who found the flower removes a dipper from his bag and submerges it into the pot. He slowly lifts the dipper out, the other little men fighting to get a peek, he places it in the center of the room and drops the blue into the ground and like if a magician was at work a blue light appears from the ground. This quickly fades and a young sprout appears. With blinding speeds it grows and a young flower emerges from its stem, the flower opens up and the little man places his hand in front of it. Like if the flower knew where his hand was it tilts over placing what the 4 little men have been searching for since the last century. Four blue seeds are in the little mans hands and he gives each of his comrades 1 and keeps the one thats left for himself. They prop it in their mouths and a shimmering spark of blue light appears. What happens next is quite interesting as you the audience might expect something mystical to happen but in reality the little men ate purifying beans, they turn any creature that eats it human. The little men feel so very lonely and every now and then they desire to be in the company of other creatures, they are immortal so they have to find the blue leaved thorny flower that makes them humans and gives them the freedom of socializing every 100 years. The magic only last a century so when the average human is not looking they sprint back to the crystal waters, back to the hearth where everything is how they left it. And their journey begins again, to find what brings them joy and acceptance into the world.
