Skok and Kuk find shelter from Tiger-beetles in the mycelium of a boletus. Their pursuers attack the boletus but it does not put the sprites in danger. Skok and Kuk are running away throughout subterranean passages, where they are surprised by a flood. At the end, they are saved by the roots of flowers. The wet sprites thank the flowers for their help.
