'''''How the Ewoks Saved the Trees: An Old Ewok Legend''''' is a [[1984]] young reader book written by [[James Howe]]. The book is a prequel of sorts to the [[Ewoks (TV series)|''Ewoks'']] television series. It is set on [[Endor/Legends|Endor]], and introduces the [[Phlog/Legends|Phlogs]] and establishes [[Logray/Legends|Logray]] as the village medicine man.

==Publisher's summary==
''[[Wicket Wystri Warrick/Legends|Wicket]] and [[Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka|Kneesaa]], two furry woklings who live on the tiny moon Endor, catch a pair of giant [[Phlog/Legends|Phlogs]] in the act of cutting down the ancient forest trees revered by the Ewoks.''

==Plot summary==
When [[Wicket Wystri Warrick/Legends|Wicket]] and [[Prince/Legends|Princess]] [[Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka|Kneesaa]] are in the forest picking berries, they discover two [[Phlog/Legends|Phlogs]] attempting to chop down their trees. When they bring this news before the [[Council of Elders (Ewok)/Legends|Council of Elders]], the Elders are somewhat skeptical of the children, but decide to send out a scouting party the next day. Fearing this would not be soon enough, the children consult [[Logray/Legends|Logray]]. He gives the two [[Logray's special powder|a special powder]] to use on the Phlogs that will make them leave. But as the children run off, they are discovered by [[Shodu Warrick|Wicket's mother]] and are forced to go to bed. They later sneak out in the middle of the night and go to the place where the Phlogs are. The sleeping Phlogs wake up and capture the Ewoks, but the two throw Logray's powder in the Phlogs' faces, making them fall back asleep. Soon, the Ewok scout party arrives and attempts to tie the Phlogs to the ground. When the Phlogs wake back up, they become frightened and run back to their home, just as Logray had said. The Ewoks rejoice and declare the day a holiday.
