Re: Ponyville Business District - Widget Whatsis' Wondrous Works
While Starcrasher began the unenviable job of sorting through the boxes downstairs, Quill continued to snore and dream. The croissants were back, this time in greater numbers than before, such that the fold-out bed was bobbing like a raft upon the sea of pastries. Cookies, shaped like exotic fish, occasionally leaped out from the sea and, as each of them hit the pinnacle of their jump, they offered a few words each, such that as the numbers of them grew and grew, whole sentences could be heard...
There is a baker, whose name is Cake,
And, with her friend pink,
she loads the basket for us to take,
and a hot flask full of drink.
"How can I pay for these things?" said Quill,
"For all these treats, hardly plain,
should earn you half a dozen bits in the till,
so I should give them back again."
He gazed at the cookies with hungry eyes,
He sniffed at their sparkling tops;
Like a gem-coated paradise,
found in jewelers shops.
"I guess you're new in town, say,"
The Baker said, and smiled;
"So, for now, no need to pay,
after all, you're a child.
"So enjoy the snacks and drink,
crafted with all my care,
and aided by the assistant pink,
but with no pony share!"
And she smiled through her pink mane,
offering treats that we did love;
She handed over the basket again
while Widget watched from above.
O, with a grin he had his fill,
Quill ate well that day;
It was a dragon who visited Ponyville
and found a place to stay.
The sea of croissants settled, the school of cookie-fish moved on, finally leaping out through the window and leaving a confused Quill sat on his bed. Surrounded by croissants. Again.
