Si Toti, Ang Mabait na Tiyanak (Filipino)
Sa puso ng luntiang kagubatan, nakatira ang maliit na tiyanak na si Toti. Habang ang kaniyang mga kalarong espiritu ay abala sa pag-iisip ng mga paraan para takutin ang mga tao, mag-isang nakaupo si Toti sa ilalim ng puno ng balete. Naririnig niya ang tawanan ng mga bata mula sa kalapit na nayon, at labis na naghahangad ang kaniyang munting puso na makisali sa kanilang laro. Bitbit ang kaniyang mga laruang gawa sa makikinang na bato at mga hinabing dahon, nagpasya si Toti na lumabas sa dilim upang magbahagi ng saya.
Toti, The Kind Goblin (English)
In the heart of the lush forest lived a tiny tiyanak named Toti. While his fellow spirit-friends were busy brainstorming ways to scare humans, Toti sat all alone beneath the roots of a balete tree. He could hear the laughter of the children from the nearby village, and his little heart deeply longed to join in their games. Carrying his toys made of shiny pebbles and woven leaves, Toti decided to step out of the shadows to share some joy.
