Festival Day

by Brutus Vogar

Right, Maw always said I should write down my feelin’s and thoughts and what not down in this special book. Just thought about her today, she always loved the river festival. She would’ve been excited it got extended another week! She always was wanten to be first in line to put her wish in the wishing tree. When I got bigger I always lifted her up so she could place hers as high as mine. Says this way the spirts would give special attention to high ones.
 
I miss maw and pop…
 
Anyways, I should tell you about me day! Well, it started off like any other day. I check the apples in the trees, I feed the goats and cows, and I checked on the fence. I actually found a piece broken piece, might be Finnik and Lora again sneaking on to play with the goats. Don’t know why they’ed be sneakin around, I’d let them play with them if they ask. Maybe they think I’m too busy! Be right kind for them too do. But back to the fence, good thing about being my size is I can clobber the post back into the ground HAHA!
 
Once the farm is taken care of I decided to go into town, they might need help fixen the place up. But as I walked down I saw a birdie trapped under that stone I see all the time. You know I had to stop and help out Mr. Birdie. If it is a Mr, I know nuffin about telling birds apart, I just think they’re cool flyen about. But as I lifted up the stone to let Mr. Birdie out a big bee stung me left shoulder! Well, I don’t know if it’s a bee, it just stung like one.
 
Later on as I passed the tavern I ran into Fefe again! Or was it Fyfe? Anyway he fell out of the sky again! He seems to have a knack for falling out of the sky. Maybe he is part bird too! But I remember runnin’ into him like it was last week, maybe because it was last week. I thought one of my goats ended up in one of my trees. I was shocked to see a person attached to those goat legs! He was just a hungry feller, one of the few people who didn’t mind my size the first time he saw me. Well, the first to not be afraid so quickly. Still, I was happy to run into him again.

Next best thing was I got a new friend! Her name is Cherry and she was really nice to me. Didn’t mind that I blocked her view and caused her to fall out her seat. Also one of the few people who weren’t afraid of me on the spot. She told me she worked at the Inn and I figured she was new. We talked and listened to the story teller, she must really like stories with all the books she carries. But soon enough, we were joined by Davim, and Fyfe. Just in time too, one of the other ladies fell asleep and was talkin in her sleep. We carried her to the wise woman. I think she gets wiser or smarter with beer, wish that happen to me. Maybe Elder Stape wouldn’t have gotten mad at me for accidentally falling on the pig pen and releasing all the pigs in the village.
 
After we woke her up Cherry got stung too! turns out a lot of us were stung! but here is were it got freaky, we got surpise tattoos! Cherry got a book with letters coming out, Fyfe got antlers and leaves in a whirlwind, Davrim got a broken ring encased in fire on an anvil, and I got a sun bursting out of a mountain range. Just like what was on the stone! I don't know what elder Stape was supposed to be but all I saw was a bunch of dots.
 
Today has been a very magical day.
