Fox and the Northern Lights
Do you know the legend about Northern Lights and that they are called Revontulet in Finnish? That means Fox Fire.
At far north where hills are covered by snow and rivers are frozen, lives magical creature the gigantic Firefox Tulikko.
It is told that the one who catches the Firefox will get all the wealth, power and happiness for the rest of his life. Just a glimpse of the Firefox would be a good omen.
But Tulikko is hard to catch. It is running wild across Lapland and once in a while its fur and tail touches snow and snowy hills sending magical sparkles up to the northern sky. And this is how Northern Lights are born.
