This is important for a few reasons.  #1, You need to save at least 60 of 
them in order to get married.  So, even if you don't care about having them 
help out with your farm work, if you want to get married, you'll have to go 
out of your way to rescue some of them.  Because even though there are quite 
a few that are easy to find, the requirements on many are very steep.  #2, 
They can help you out immensely. You can only hire one team at a time, which 
is a bummer, but you'll figure out what works best for you.

The Red Team
Animal Care (Feed and Harvest)
**************************************************************************

These sprites will feed, milk, shear, and gather eggs, and put the sellable 
items they gather in the shipping bins.  They won't brush or love on your 
animals, so if you want to boost their hearts, you have to do that yourself, 
or hire the yellow team to do it.  However, you would then have to go in and 
feed and harvest their items, so either way you're going to have to visit 
them everyday.  I personally like to hire the red sprites. There's something 
very tedious about throwing fodder in the bin every day.  I don't feel that 
way about watering or harvesting crops, but I guess that's because you can 
skip it if you need to and they won't get sick.  I'll go in and love on my 
animals when I feel like it, but at least I know their basic needs are being 
met.

Red Ribbon (leader)
Have at least 10 cows and sheep (total, not each.)  

Wooly

Bonus: Once you have rescued 7 or more red sprites, they will also harvest

are just growing stuff for your own personal use, you'll need to rush out 
there and grab it before they do.

This secret spot is totally random and can appear anywhere in the valley

at once.  There are two other sprites that are saved this way.

Chorori

of squares sprites, the squares that the watering team waters for you will 
count toward your total, but they can't rescue themselves.  So if you never

saved any sprites yet.

The Indigo Team
Fishing
****************************************************************************
The indigo team is very helpful with getting lots of fish. I like to fish 
alongside them when I've got them hired.  I give the fish I catch to the 
sprites (careful, some don't like fish for some odd reason.)  The more they 
like you the more fish they will catch for you, and the more of their kind of 
can rescue.

spring.

Paige
Catch 50 fish. For this sprite and all other "Catch X number of fish"
