In Gluskabe's time, the squirrel was not the cute little rodent leaping from branch to branch that we see nowadays. It was a frightening beast, the size of the largest bear. “Gluskabe, I'm not afraid of your humans, the ALNOBAK. If they dare coming near my territory I will fight them, I will crush them. I will mash them into cranberry compote!” the squirrel retorted in a threatening tone.

— Nokemes (grandmother), tell me, the kzel8msen that makes the leaves of the birch trees dance, where does it come from? — Gluskabe, that’s a very good question. Why do you want to know? — I just want to understand how nature works, nokemes. — Are you sure you don't have a weird idea in mind? You look quite disheveled. You didn’t accidentally squabble with a puff of kzel8msen, did you? — Not at all, nokemes. This is just to increase my knowledge. — You promise me that you won’t meddle in what is none of your business if I tell you where the kzel8msen comes from? — I promise, nokemes. Gluskabe assured, fingers crossed behind his back… and our story begins.
