The Birth of Vila sketch

"...there are also beliefs in which fairies are created when there is sunshine and rain at the same time. On such occasions, fairies are born from certain flowerless grasses that bloom across meadows, with roots similar to red onion. In early morning when it rains these grasses have certain formations that give birth to fairies. Boys watched very carefully not to thread on such grass, not to cross the fairies"
