I throuht Toyols were native Malay ghosts
but it is seems they are internationally available.
My speculation is the result of some infor-
Matio the aprentice at my garage has given
Me. He has a foster father in Hongkong who
Earns a lot of money. Everybody thinks Lady Luck
Has smile on him, but my apprentice, Peng,
Knows better.
There he saw two bottles on an altar. They looked
Very stranger, being painted completely black on
The outside. There were long thin slips of yellow
Paper pasted on them. He wasn’t sure what they
Were, at first, but after careful observation, he
Learnt that they were homes for tiny “pixies” that
His foster father was rearing.
ment your enemies or discover their secrets. But
Each time you see them, you have to feed them
Food. They will grow into full-fledged ghosts later,
After which you grow more dependent on them
And they on you. If you ever do anything to offend
Them, they can punish you severely.
Saw his foster father always putting food, such as
Grains of rice, at the altar after every meal.
Whenever he went by, he never failed to notice
That the food really grew less. When he leaned
Closer to look, he could see tiny bites in the altar
Food. The thought of them made his skin crawl.
On once occasion, he was in the sitting room
Alone. That was where the altar was located, just
Beside the main door. Being the sort who loves
Poking around, he touched the bottle to feel its
Texture. To his surprise, a powerful electrical flow
Passed though his body. He felt ill immediately
Afterwards. Peng was sick for two weeks. His
Foster father did not suspect anything at all and
thought he had caught the flu.
I was very annoyed becaused there was no one
To help me at the garage. But when i heard his
Story. I forgave him. I thought it was fascinating,
That these pixies sounded exactly like toyols, ex-
Cept that toyols here are said to suck the blood of
Thier owners from thier toes. It would be inter-
testing to find out if there are any biological or
Spiritual links between them.
