Yes, that 'XU/ZZ finding the light myth' where ZZ is burnt and made ugly. Hmm... if anything, I'd say maybe it was trollish and shows how XU and ZZ went and tampered with something they shouldn't have. Perhaps it's a lesson showing trolls that they should ask their elders/mothers about things before experimenting with new things. Or perhaps it shows how XU and ZZ had the seeds of 'Badness' in them and were thus led astray. XU stayed and saw the light but didn't touch it whereas ZZ actually went and poked it and look what it did to him.
TTFN,
Paul.
