    As the blissful Mr Sun waned and was easing out the day , the fine faerie folk of Fairyville were enjoying the coming of the ever so wondrous evening sky , the goblin snuck up near as he possible could to the tree boarders . Oh how he was grinning his hideous evil grin carrying the sack full of fireworks and a bottle or two of booze and snickered as he set down the sack and started gathering up twigs to build a small camp fire to use to light the fuses to the fireworks. There were all kinds in that sack , rockets, flares, sparklers, crackers, boomers, twirlers, twisters, his favorites though were the rockets , he wanted to send them over the roofs of the village homes and shops aiming as close to the roofs as possible while sending some with the boomers into the flowing creek waters . So while waiting for the camp fire to start burning well without smoke , he took to swigging of the booze and started setting up the order of his strategy of war gaming . The goblin was himself quite light up and he became to rub his hands together with an even eviler grin and mumbled fowl language but just then a red fox ran past him calling him funny names and mocking him to a chase . With the booze on his breath the goblin was the more enraged at the fox and so grabbed up a large branch of a rotted tree and throw it at the now out of range fox , in those movements without noticing the goblin knocked some dry twigs between the fire and the sack still with a lot of fireworks in it . Seeing now that the fox was far gone and the fire was now burning good he decided it was now time to begin his 'fun' . First he throw a few firecrackers into the slow moving waters of the stream full filling his plan at scaring the faerie folk , he kept the action going by tossing big boomers at the edge of Fairyville and then firing off the rockets high above firstly then each one after , lower . Backing up laughing , the drunken goblin tripped backwards into the burning twigs and scattering them about and some caught the dry twigs aflame . He just laid there laughing his terrible laugh not noticing the increasing fire , then the flames caught the sack on fire , well we all know what happened then ! More 'fun' then the goblin dreamed up . His 'fun' now became his scare and he ran off and hid in cover . Oh there were all kinds of fireworks exploding , with rockets racing on the ground , spinners spinning, flares flaring, twirlers twirling, sparks and ciders flying and setting aflame to dry pine needles . Just then though a really strange thing happened .............. for out of thin air , a gardener appeared [ a big people gardener ] one from another place and time . Yes just like that , out of thin air there he was and get this , he had his gardening bucket with him and it shimmered in the fire light . Now for him , one thing was for sure , seeing the fire going out of control , he know he had to put it out so he quickly ran down to the stream and filled his bucket with water and after a few more trips , the fire was out . The gardener spotted the goblin laying behind a boulder , pinned him down with his foot and looking around exclaimed " What have I got myself into now ?" ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,TO BE CONTINUED ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
