Meet Shut-Ear Sprite

Shut-Ear Sprite is the mischievous villain in Mewe stories about foreign languages. This troublemaker repeats its own expressions without listening to how another person communicates. Whenever the companions begin exploring, the villain tries to steer them away from the question with this trick.

The villain represents a behavior that can be recognized and changed. Bridge never treats a child as bad for making a mistake; the story invites everyone to identify the problem and try a better approach.

The Trick

How the Hero Responds
