As a troll Rodanan was always greeted with fear, disgust. He had never received a smile. Never heard laughter. Never felt kindness. But he know it existed. He had observed the other creatures of the woods, while hiding behind bushes, boulders. However, when he tried they all fled. Each day he tried, never giving up hope that one day someone would stay.
Finally that day arrived. As all the creatures screamed in fear, Rodanan saw in the darkness of a hole a long snout smiling back at him.
"Hello." said the snout. " I am Fenelchen. I am new to these woods."
Rodanan was amazed. He was actually frightened by Fenelchen's kindness.
