Lissa: Oh, poor flowers … you really needed some water.
(Lissa hears a voice)
Elf: Thank you, Lisssa. I was trapped in one of those flowers and your kindness set me free.
(Lissa sees an elf beside the flowers. The elf fixes his hat. He takes off his ring and gives it to Lissa)
Elf: Take this magical ring and wear it on the index finger of your left hand. When you look at the ring, your eyes will sparkle, everyone arround you will instantly feel happy, and everything will be just fine.
(The elf leaves)
Lissa: Wait!… who are you?
