Miss Tick informs her that she is likely the witch of the wold she resides in, and gives her the toad familiar she carries as a guide before tricking Tiffany out of the tent and disappearing. Tiffany is told that these Wee Free Men are Pictsies, the Nac Mac Feegle, who are rough and rowdy fae folk who speak with a Glaswegian accent. She goes into town to visit a travelling teacher and comes upon Miss Perspicacia Tick, a witch who has been watching her. Using her brother Wentworth as bait for it, Tiffany ambushes the beast and cracks it over the head with a frying pan, while Wentworth is completely unfazed, as he is unable to see either the little men or the monster and is more interested in where his next "sweetie" (gummy bear) is coming from. Suddenly a vile green monster, Jenny Greenteeth, appears in the water. While playing near the river near her home, she sees two tiny blue, kilted men who warn her of a "green heid" in the water. Tiffany Aching is a 9-year-old girl who literally sees things differently than others.
