"Where are my stockings! I mean socks! Socks, I mean socks. God this job is really getting to me. No, not the red ones! I liked it much better when I wore green as well, such a peaceful colour. Why is there a hole in the heel?"

"Um..."

"Have you been eating my socks again?"

"Well I, er um."

"Oh, you elves have some really bad habits. Yeuk. Get me another pair!"

"Yes master, well I wouldn't have to eat your socks if I wasn't so stressed all the time."

"Did you say something?"
