Those two evil friars
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there were two evil friars living
outside this small village. The friars had tried unsuccessfully to overtake
and capture the town, but finally this time, they believed they had hit upon a
foolproof scheme that would allow them to rule the village. They had,
through mad scientist experiments in their floral shop, come up with a plant
that would devour the townspeople one by one until none were left. They
set forth to put their plan into action by planting the man-eating plants so
they encircled the village.
As the plants rapidly grew, they began devouring everything living in their
path. The townspeople grew frightened; who or what would save them
from their eminent doom? Finally, the town's elder remember Hugh, a
woodcutter who lived on the outskirts of town. Frantically, the
townspeople penned a desperate plea for help, tied it to the leg of a
pigeon, and directed the bird toward Hugh's cabin.
Meanwhile, outside of town, Hugh had received the note from the
townspeople, and realizing they were in grave danger, set forth to do what
he needed to do. He honed his mightiest axe to razor-sharpness, grabbed
his hat, and off he went.
Chopping his way through the dense vines, he single-handedly destroyed
the carnivorous plants one by one, until all were destroyed. Then he set out
to rid the village of the evil friars, chasing them out of town. The town was
saved!!! The people rejoiced and knighted Hugh for his brave and timely
efforts to save the village!!!
And the moral of the story is:
Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.
