uh-oh! Dr Geep is a troll. Dr Geep has a wife. That's going to mean only ONE thing. Lots of little trolls. Besides the proverbs such as "honest as a troll" (trolls are incapable of lying and recognize falsehoods instantly), being hard-working (the women are always cooking or doing laundry, and the men are plowing or hunting), and other good qualities... trolls do have one quality which gets them in trouble. They like human children, especially blond princesses, and will trade their babies for the human ones. They don't steal the kids, that would be bad. They make a fair trade. Now, if you notice that your baby is suddenly acting strangely: hair won't comb, throws tantrums, and won't stop shrieking... you might have a "changling". The way to tell is to boil water in an eggshell. Never fails. The troll baby has to make a comment. Of course, at that point you have another problem. Either you put your talking troll baby on TV or you try to find the parents. Carolly
