However, it isn't long before she is bored of this job too, and decides to play a trick on the townsfolk. "WOLF, WOLF!" she cries, sending the panicked villagers up the hill - only to find there is no wolf. "TROLL, TROLL!" Arabella later cries, giggling. Again, the townsfolk rush up the hill to her rescue, huffing and puffing - only to find there is no troll. So later, when the cry "DRAGON, DRAGON!" comes from Arabella, the townsfolk ignore her.
