All gnomes are nocturnal and move about at night
but most return home by the end of the night.
In recent years several gnomes have been known
to go adventuring. These seem to be
younger, single male gnomes, under 200 years of
age. They are also starting to overcome
their shyness and several have even gone as far
as to appear in public. You will note
there has been a marked increase in the number
of gnomes appearing in commercials, movies,
books and other areas.
Gnome experts around the world have been arguing
different theories for the re-emergence of
gnomes in our midst. Some of the popular
theories include:
Gnomes have always travelled extensively (how
else do you account for gnome in every part of
every country?) and that they travel for the
same reasons that humans do, entertainment, to
visit relatives, to find mates from unrelated
families, etc. We are seeing more
traveling gnomes because there is just less area
for them to take cover.
Less cover/homeland for their woodland friends
who normally provide transportation (foxes,
owls, rabbits etc.) has required new means of
transportation. Our resident expert has
stated that gnomes have discovered they love to
fly inside planes – apparently it’s much warmer
and less windy than on the back of a bird,
cruise ships offer unlimited opportunities for
fun, and the number one current favorite mode of
travel is the US postal system – they have
discovered stamp collecting in a big way
(Passport stamps are also a big collector’s item
among gnomes).
Loss of habitat is causing gnomes to relocate
and take up residency with humans. Although
most are still very shy and will most often be
seen posing as statutes in gardens.
As to why they are now appearing in public in
movies and commercials, our gnome authority says
there is a very heated rivalry (good natured of
course) going on between certain young male
gnomes and a rather well known gecko.
Oh and most important – please let us introduce
you to our resident gnome expert Lucas.
