El pijama al revés
Al salir la luna, Mallow, la duendecilla, se preparaba para irse a dormir en su pequeño dormitorio. Se había puesto el pijama al revés. Las costuras le hacían cosquillas y los bolsillos sobresalían, pero tenía demasiado sueño para cambiárselo.

—Las mantendré a salvo —murmuró, mientras se las metía en los bolsillos. El armario estaba abierto, pero Mallow no necesitaba buscar allí un atuendo mejor.
Le sorprendía lo útiles que de pronto eran los bolsillos. Tal vez el pijama al revés tenía más ventajas de las que ella pensaba.
