Night of the Missing Shoes
The villagers of Lyndelby were greatly alarmed when their boots and shoes went missin' followin' their Winter Solstice celebrations. The next day, after they'd recovered their wits but not their boots, the villagers gathered at the Meetin' Rock to demand to know who were responsible and what remedy might be taken.
Questions abounded: Had they so completely lost their wits durin' the celebratory feast--which included consumin' large quantities of ale and mead--that they'd horribly misplaced their shoes? Had they, in their inebriated state, tossed their boots into a bonfire? Or, as many suspected, were there mischief afoot? Pun not intended.
Oddly, the children of the village were not alarmed at all by the missin' shoes. Perhaps it were a coincidence, but only a few days after the solstice celebrations the wee ones were enjoyin' all sorts of toys and treats they'd found on their doorsteps.
This ends Part Three
