Behold, a wet chicken!
Origin: Poland
Description: The Skrzat is a house faerie that looks like
a wet chicken that drags its wings and tail behind it leaving sparks. You too can grow your own Skrzat by carrying
a malformed egg under your arm pit for nine days. He/she hangs out in the hay loft and steals
corn.
Disposition: If you can get over the corn thievery, having
a Skrzat is good luck and will bring you great fortune.
I spit my coffee out when I saw that picture! I now have a "no drinking" rule when visiting your blog...
ReplyDeleteThat seems like a lot of trouble to go to (9 days??) to grow a Skrzat...as well as smelly. I guess the great fortune would be a strong motivator but I'm afraid my Skrazat would soon leave me as I'd laugh at it everytime I saw it.
Awesome pick for 'S'!
It's ridiculous, I know. I couldn't resist!
DeleteWhat a fabulous description, I can just see that disgruntled fairy trundling through my house. Nice original post
