Great one!! And now the Legend of the Rones...
Long ago and far away there lived a group of Gnome-like characters called the Rones. They lived on the edge of an immense forest, relying on the foliage and local stream for survival. The Rones never ventured into the forest because of tales of the dangerous creatures (lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my!). Now, in order to survive this harsh environment, the Rones relied on a special concoction that the elder Rones had passed from generation to generation. This special brew was made from a mixture of seeds, mushrooms, wildflowers, and water from the stream. Everyday, the Rones would drink their brew (affectionately refered to as the Sauce) to make them healthy and strong. All the Rone children were reminded everyday to drink the Sauce, as it would make them strong and wise!
One day, two of the Rone children were playing near the forest when one of them said, "Let's go into the forest!" "Oh no," said the other little Rone, "there are too many animals that could harm us!"
"No way!" exclaimed the other brave little Rone, "what are you, a scaredy cat?!" "No, I'm not!!" shouted the other Rone. "Let's go!!"
So, off the two lil' Rones went...into the immense forest. They walked and walked, amazed at the beautiful trees and plants and flowers. And you know what, they didn't even see the wild animals the elder Rones had warned them about! "Hey, this place isn't so bad after all" said the brave little Rone. "I,m not afraid, but I am getting hungry!" "Me too", said the other Rone. "We better go back home"
As they started home, the little Rones began to realize they were lost! They walked and walked, but couldn't find the right path home!
They became weaker and weaker, cause you see they had almost gone the whole day without the special Rone Sauce. The brave Rone shouted "we must find some Sauce in order to survive" not realizing that the only place to find the special brew was in the Land of Rone!!
So, are little heroes became weaker and weaker and finding no Sauce, they lay down to rest. And unfortunately, our little friends did not survive. And to this day, the elder Rones tell their children of the lost Little Rones and that "Strolling Rones gather no Sauce!" |
