Patufet

Patufet is usually represented as a very small child the size of a rice grain or a little garbanzo bean, wearing a big red barretina so that his parents can better spot him around the place.

Since people can't see him because he's so small, he avoids being trodden on by singing, Men and women who come towards me!

But Patufet is not lucky: when it starts to rain he takes refuge under a cabbage where he fell asleep; after this he accidentally gets eaten by an ox.

After a while they hear Patufet's little voice and his parents feeds the ox with cabbages that make it fart faster.

[2] En Patufet was also the title of an influential children's magazine in Catalan published from 1904 to 1938, and again from 1968 to 1973.
