The Protective Spirit of the Forest
He’s supposed to protect trees from pollution and deforestation by developers. Whatever he is and where he is, his face is blue, and his eyes and beard are green. He wears his clothes back-to-front and casts no shadow.
Despite all this, he has a wife and kids and they all go away in the winter. Have you met anyone like this on vacation? If so where was it?
