U Tramuntani, drevnoj šumi na sjeveru otoka Cresa, punoj šuštavih tajni, živi Masmalić. Dobroćudan je i rado će pomoći čovjeku. Ali… naljutiš li ga – galameći, bacajući kamenje koje remeti tišinu njegova doma ili trgajući grane – može biti prkosan i osvetoljubiv, povesti te krivim putem, uplašiti ili izvesti kakvu drugu psinu. Toga maloga čovjeka prepoznat ćeš, ako ti se odluči pokazati, po crvenoj kapici i plavim hlačicama.
Macmalići žive u panjevima, rupama, bacaju vatrene kugle s brda Sv. Ursule, skrivaju se u škripećim
lesama u Velom boku i Predošćici. Na Mergu ispraćaju ribara očekujući od njega ribu po povratku. Na najjužnijem dijelu otoka, Punta Križi,skrivaju se pak u velikoj jami.

In Tramuntana, an ancient forest in the north of the island of Cres, full of rustle secrets, lives the Macmalić. He is usually grateful and happy to you But ... if you make him angry – by throwing stones that break the silence of his home or shaking branches – he can be scornful and vindictive, take you to a wrong way, frighten or carry out any other blunder. You will recognize that little man, if he decides to show himself to you, by a red cap and blue shorts.
Macmalić’s live in stumps, holes, they throw fireballs from the hill of St. Ursula, they are hiding in the creaking gateways in Veliki Bok and Predošćica. On Merag they escort the fishermen, expecting them to return and bring fish. On the southernmost part of the island, Punta Križa, they are hiding in a big pit.
