A lonely rosebush shelters a crowd of translucent rose elves as a frosty October night looms. The elves request shelter from the cold, speaking in soft tones as they prepare to sleep until the next sunset.
A boy Jack seeks hidden treasure in a haunted castle where grotesque red robed figures present a box with an old man inside who tests him. He earns half the treasure by fair division, then helps the old man escape bondage and earns reward. Then elves from a rosebush recount tales of early life and mercy.
An elf recalls a wedding where a maiden wore a myrtle rose that shimmered like dewdrops. The rose slips from her hair during a crowded ball and is trodden underfoot, while the elf laments its crushed fate amid the crowd. The tale blends whimsy with loss as the rose fails to endure the celebration.

The ocean bears immense pressure with depth, about one ton per square inch per mile of depth. At 3000 fathoms the floor endures around 640 tons per square foot. Crustaceans live under this pressure and shrimp-like creatures are found. Fish at 50 to 60 fathoms endure about 150 psi, comparable to locomotive boiler steam. When surfaced, their air bladders balloon and may burst loudly.
