News from White Woods: Explosion

 

Source: Who started the first marshmallow fight?


The yard bore a striking resemblance to a white pure snow of the aftermath of an  explosion in the marshmallow factory.

The surprise explosion had spread an aromatic scent of vanilla over the marshmallow-covered town of White Woods.  Even the steeple  of the nearby church was coated with the sticky white stuff.  Several red cardinals were glued there, their pitiful songs heard about town.

Finally, an elfin boy named Timmy climbed up into the steep interior and then was lowered by rope to free the poor birds.  Oddly enough, the cardinals were able to fly away to nearby trees.

From the heights, Timmy watched faraway children dashing with toboggans in hand to slide down  “Killer Hill”.  He guffawed as each child became mired in the marshmallow ‘snow’, sinking rapidly into the white gloppy goo.

A thunder storm was on the horizon, according the Farmer's Almanac and old man Harold Benson's knees. It would wash away much of the marshmallow stuff and send it down the nearby creek. However, the runoff would severely affect  the coming harvest. Farmers were concerned
