Pixie potion ... and Spotty's new binoculars

Ingredients were gathered from all over Arunachala Hill for the pixie-luring potion. The four cubses even had to row across a small body of water to get to the only tree they knew of that had a certain special fruit that was a crucial ingredient in the potion.



Back at the cave, they put brewed the potion.



Then they went to the hollow tree. Tiru bravely climbed the tree to dab the pixie bait just inside the tree trunk. Arunacub, after yesterday's ordeal, kept a safe distance. Omcub tugged on Mum Lioness' tail. Spotty kept safe on Med Tiger's back.



"The pixies won't be able to resist it," said Tirucub.

"Should we hide and watch?" asked Spotty.

"No, it is nap time," said Med Tiger. The huge search for all the ingredients had tuckered him out and he was longing for a nice relaxing snooze. "Definitely nap time."

"That's right," agree Mum Lioness, and they went back to their caves.

In his cave, Spotty waited till Med Tiger dropped off, which only took a few moments. Then he jumped up and found the new binoculars Med Tiger had got him.

He peeked in at his brudders but heard Mum Lioness sternly telling them to quiet down for a few minutes. Spotty decided to try out the binoculars. He climbed up on some rocks to see what he could see.



He just happened to point the binocs in the direction of a huge mansion that some Germans had had built recently. the family was outside, about to get into a taxi. The mother had some strange gummy stuff on her hair, perhaps related to the recent pixie curse.



He watched as the taxi driver loaded a lot of luggage into the trunk.



He was just watching them drive away when he noticed something much more interesting ...



"These binocs are GREAT!" thought Spotty.
