Family Circle

There was an old woman named Tia Miseria. She had her BIG, FAT, chickens, she had her vegetable garden, and she had her beautiful, beautiful, pear tree. She had beloved her pear tree since birth. Every time she bit into a pear, she would say “O, how tasty!!!!”. But there was still one problemo, one problem. The next door kids, the people that had called her Tia Miseria, ran to her house every day. They would run through her garden, step on all her vegetables, and sit on the top of her pear trees, eatin’ them and throwin’ them at those poor chickens. She would be in such an outrage she swore that if they ever went up her pear tree again, she would kill them. She was joking, of course, ’cause she never wanted to kill a human bein’ since she was religos.

One day as she was cookin’ she heard a knock at the door. As she opened her door she saw a black man. He said that he was on a journey so he asked if he could spend the night. Tia cooked tortillas, rezzo, and nachos. As they were eatin’, the man told her that he is a retired magician. He could grant Tia one wish. ” Oh, I will wish for plato, for silver, oh, no, no, no. I will wish for oro for gold.” Then she had a great idea. “I know what I want. I wish that when anybody gets on my pear tree, they can never come down until I say my magic words ‘baje, baje, from my pear tree.’ ” Well then, ” He told a spell “Hocus Pocus, Marania Nerogious, Harabaladan Karamagazoo!!!!” A great gust of wind bleww and the magician dissapearred.

THE NEXT DAY…

Her little enimies, the children, came back. As the same manner as before, they ran through her garden, steped on all her vegetables, and sat on the top of her pear tree, eatin’ them and throwin’ them at those poor chickens. But instead of going out and “punishing” them, she went to her kitchen, got a cup of coffee, and sat at her front porch. The children knew that somethin’ was seriously wrong. she told them to get down but they said “Noo!! We are not ready!!!!!”. When they were “ready” they found out that they could not get down. The spell was on. They begged for Tia to let them down, but she said “No.” They asked her again, and she holled, or boomed, or bellowed “NO!!!!!”. She finally let them down and they ne’er came back again.

TWO YEARS LATER

she heard a loud KNOCK!! KNOCK!!!!! She opened the door to reveal death. She tricked him into the pear tree. Her friend came by. For some reason, she wanted to die. Tia promised death that he would absolutly, positively, never, ever, ever kill Tia. Now it is said that as long as death keeps his promise, there will be misery in this world.
