The Damsel in Distress

Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess named Abby. She was not as beautiful as her sister Olivia but she was still quite a looker.

One day Abby headed off to the mountains. We can only assume it was one of her usual walk-abouts. The girl did love to hike. So anyway, Abby was trekking through the mountains of Jasper when tragedy struck. Just as Abby had discovered a new shoe store on the corner of Caribou and Elk Drive, she was distracted by a large male elk. She slipped on the treacherous streets. Like the good girl-scout that she is she managed the situation by using her cell phone to call for back-up. To the rescue came two of her delightful children, Wonfur and Gabio. Wonfur's whole name is Wonfur the Road. Gabio is the youngest son and is as handsome as Fabio but quite chatty so the named him Gabio.

Now the details are still sketchy but I understand Gabio had a headache from talking too much and Wonfur had a headache but no one will tell me why.

So off Wonfur and Gabio rushed to aid the ailing mother. Abby usually has a very keen sense of direction but for some reason her ankle didn't. Wonfur and Gabio raced Princess Abby to the hospital. Unfortunately, the local doc was not sanctioned to care for one as lovely as Abby. So they ordered up the chariot and transported her to a better facility.

Princess Abby is being cared for by the best mountain folk and will recover quickly. The saddest part of the tale is that Princess Abby won't be able to take advantage of the new shoe store "Two's Company".

If there is anyone out there who wants to go halfsies on some new shoes please contact her at ican'tdancesodon'taskme.com

But remember Princess Abby, you are much loved by many, and you will survive to one day shop again.
