On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree!
The four calling birds represent Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, the four Evangelists who spread the gospel to "the four corners" of the Earth.
My fantasy version:
On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: four mountain trolls,
Three phoenixes,
Two forest fauns,
And a unicorn as white as the snow!
In just about every fantasy story, trolls are depicted as none too bright, little more than savage brutes. So, you could say a troll represents what a person would be like without morals, intelligence, and basic decency.
