Once upon a time
there was a gnome named Knob, who lived
the far off land
of Gnomania. Gnomania is a huge
underground
lair with only
one entrance. The only entrance to this
lair is by
swimming down to
the bottom of the ocean floor and knocking on
a large clam. On
the other side of this clam is an old grouchy
gnome named
Stubby whose only job was to keep the clam clean,
and listen for
the knock of incoming visitors. To
assist Stubby in
guarding the
clam, he had a pet snark. A snark is an
animal or pet
that can be used
as a watchdog.
One day Knob went
to visit his grandmother in the land of
Gnollie which is
about a guzillion centimeters away from
Gnomania. On his way to his grandmother's house he ran
across a
garden. Upon stumbling on the garden, he decided to
be
thoughtful and
pick some tulips for his grandmother.
Tulips were
her favorite
snack.
While approaching
his grandmother's house, he found
something to be
very strange. His grandmother was
hovering on an
hummingbird,
while picking apples from her tall twenty-foot
appletree. After contemplating on this strange doing, he
decided
not to let it
bother him. After seeing Knob approach
her house,
Knob's
grandmother whistled for the hummingbird to bring her
down so she could
greet him. She greeted him with a loud
burp
which was a
common courtesy among Gnomanians. After
greeting
him she also
sprinkled him with some of her fairy dust.
She
handily carried
it around in her turban. She naturally
invited him
in for dinner
where they ate lots of mosquitoes. After
dinner, they
watched a cheap
imitation of television. They used a big
box to
put different
animals in and called it the Discovery channel.
By the end of the
day Knob was getting a little weary, so he
decided to return
home.
When he returned
form Gnollie his pet snark was there to
welocme him
home. He welcomed his snark back by
feeding it
fisheyes or to us
humans dog biscuits. After the short
snack, Knob
and his snark
went back to his teepee where they hibernated until
the next morning.
The next day Knob
met up with his friend Door. Door was a
runaway gnome who
lived on the streets of Gnomania. They
met
one day by
accident. Since Door lived on the
streets, he had to
steal food to
survive. One day when
