***** the wil-'o-the-wisp sadly sat at home for he was young and much too small to roam the swamp alone
He wanted to be an elusive light mysterious, misguiding and haunting the night. „Oh swamp“ he whined „it all goes so slow I don't want to stay home – please help me to grow!“
„Shut up, little ones, enough of that weeping“ bubbled the swamp and then started sleeping „Oh not again“ the old tree moaned as ***** burst out in tears and raised his branches left and right to cover up his ears.
Meanwhile a burglar with Police had a battle with a big bag of loot he had to skedaddle into the swamp and lost the way.
He watched out for a guiding light but all he found was crying ***** (wil-o'-the whisping really not bright)
„What's that?“ the burglar snidely asked „a lousy glooming firefly? can't even light my cigarette get out of my way little bug“ and proceeded to pass by.
This now was too much for *****'s pride (teenagers often freak out) He drew himself to his fullest height and he shouted loud: „listen you mean and human thing – I am no dim-lit light! Beware of the rage of an wil-o'-the wisp!“ and then he run completely wild
„Hear what I will bring to you first death then pain and sorrow I'll **** you first then chase you down for you there's no more tomorrow I'll lead you into deepest swamp to a puddle of mud and when you start to drown in it – I'll watch you in cold blood“
(if we were picky in logic and order we surely now have to complain but let's close an eye for he is still very young – back to the story again)
Inspite all efforts and *****'s threats the burglar did not catch a word (wil-o'-the-wisping as language is not very common and therefore not often heard)
Let's say (to help our ***** a bit) the burglar was slightly confused so nothing much happend until the swamp woke up and swamp was not amused
„Who dared to disturbe my holy sleep?“ he blubbered with utmost grim *****'s finger pointed out to the burglar then and he sheepishly squeaked „that was him!“
Swamp did not hesitate too long burglar sank into swamp to a place deep and stealthy (for medical reasons we have to admit this can't be considered as healthy)
In the next days ***** did not no more complain to spend some more time at home as he learned one thing this very day: there are many ways that lead to Rome.
