Little Gray Bonnet and the Nine Gnarled Trolls
The day after yesterday, in the tiny impoverished village of Foggyville, lived little Gray Bonnet and her pet Warty Toad and her other pet Noisy Goose. Dark and early in the morning, Noisy Goose ate Warty Toad, which just goes to show you that things do not always go as planned and tragedy can strike at any moment. Just then, there was an thunderous knocking at the door, and little Gray Bonnet answered. Standing at the doorway were nine gnarled trolls, who were selling magic beans to raise money to build new wolf-resistant houses for Messy Hare, Unkempt Hare, and Disheveled Hare, who are also known as ‘The Three Harried Hares.’ Just then, Noisy Goose laid a cast-iron egg, and being in a bad mood because her prune juice was too sour and she had burned her whole-wheat toast and spilled her high-fiber bran porridge all over her clothes, little Gray Bonnet flung the cast-iron egg at the nine gnarled trolls, who did not recognize the immense worth of the metal object in their troubled economy and thought an ordinary rock had been thrown at them. They shouted, “We’ll tell the Ingrown-Toenail Halitosis-Plagued Warlock about you!” and then they bitterly muttered a protest chant as they quickly marched down the uneven bumpy brick road to Never-Not-Ever-Land. And so, with that, everyone lived grumpily ever after.
Thus thankfully ends another dismal tale from the land where it is always dank and overcast and the outlook is forever bleak!
