Once upon a time in a tiny kingdom known as Hygiene, in the midst of a circle of sacred trees and under the watchful eye of 14,000 foot snow covered peaks, sat the warm and brightly lit Crane Hollow Café. This charming eatery was visited every morning at the crack of dawn by the local bards and farmers. They arrived one by one and sat at the same table in the same chair by the same picture window, day after day after day.
But one day, the fairy goddess who lived nearby, with a twinkle in her eye, summoned six fair maidens of her court to arrive early and sit themselves at the cherished plank; to sit demurely and discuss horse-doo doo and gardening tips, and the why-for’s of how these two elements most assuredly intermingle.
When the local bards walked innocently through the front door, they were brought up short. The first two stomped in and, after taking assessment of the never-before-witnessed-scene now before them, sat uncomfortably at a near-by round table. The next one in ducked behind the coffee pot lest he be spied by the fair maidens. One fine fellow stood inside the door in utter dismay, unable to gather his wits around him and flustered as to what to do next. One of the gents was heard to exclaim, “how can you read the paper at this little table!”
Finally, to put the gents at ease, the anything by demure maidens smiled at the gangly group and flashed them two brightly printed red posters, upon which was written in very large letters ~ ApRil FoOLs !!!!
A chuckle or two was shared by ... almost everyone.
Wherever your are, what ever you are doing ~ enjoy the day!
