"Hmm? When did that house become so new? And they even put so many dining tables out?" Ivan the rock troll, who just came home after quarrying, said in astonishment as he stared at the brand-new house next door and the tables and chairs in the garden with wide eyes.
"Maybe we have a new neighbor. That house has been abandoned for so long, and who knows what kind of people have moved in." Ivan's wife Gemina, who was holding a huge sea turtle, also looked at that new house.
"Forget it. Our island doesn't have the tradition of greeting our neighbors, after all. If this neighbor has a bad character, it may even cause us trouble." Ivan shook his head and continued walking to his house.
"I agree." Gemina nodded and followed Ivan in.
