Making Plans at Breakfast

6/18/2022

2 Comments

 
The Cook had gone to considerable effort to prepare a lavish breakfast..
Picture
Lucy took the Cook aside..."Why did you bother to go to all this effort? Everyone is feeling so disappointed right now."
Picture
"Exactly!  It's because everyone could use a little cheering up.  And life has to go on. So, just smile and help serve breakfast just like it's any other day."
Picture
But Kassia wasn't hungry. She felt torn inside, feeling happy to be human again, yet guilty that she was the only one that the potion had worked on. ​
Picture
Even so, she thanked Cook for making such a wonderful breakfast...."It looks delicious."
Picture
"Yes! It certainly does!"
Picture
Then to the Wizard..."So, what now?"
Picture
"Well, I had honestly hoped the potion would work better.  It should have, but it didn't."
Picture
"We had delivered some to the Princess whose three brothers had turned to Ravens, and the potion only worked on two of them..."
Picture
"And it didn't work on the Frog Prince either.  He's still a frog."
Picture
"But I knew up front that a transformation potion wasn't going to help everyone affected."
Picture
"There was no way to get someone unconscious to drink a potion, so it wouldn't have been any help at Prince Phillip's castle where everyone was asleep."
Picture
"So I had taken the initiative to apply for a hearing at the Fairy Court, to present a class action suit on behalf of everyone affected by that evil fairy's curse.  She didn't abide by their rules to provide an escape clause, so we can present a case to have them undo it."
Picture
"But fairies live a long time, and time is meaningless to them, so they are never in any hurry, and there's no way to know when they'll hear our case."
Picture
​"So there's still a way out of this?"
Picture
"Most definitely!  The Fairy Court is renown for their strong moral code. I'm confident they will rule in everyone's favour. We just need a court date, and they haven't responded to my queries yet, other than to say they'll get back to us. As Willie said, they are never in any rush."
Picture
"Did you hear that? We aren't going to be stuck like this forever?"
Picture
Lucy suddenly felt a little more hopeful...
Picture
"Some tea your Highness?"
Picture
"No thanks...."
Picture
"I think I'm going to need something a lot stronger this morning."
Picture
"Me too..."

Every group needs someone like the Cook whose attitude is so optimistic. His bright outlook is bound to lighten everyone else's heavy hearts. It's nice that the Wizard is wise old man who has considered all the possible outcomes and has already taken steps to meet them.

I think that you may have been helping the Cook with the breakfast preparation. Those pancakes look like the real thing!

It will be interesting to see how the Wizard manages to prompt the fairy court to move more quickly.

Yes, I wanted something different for breakfast, so made stacks of tiny pancakes, and fried up a pile of cut up bacon. The pancakes on their plates was topped with yogurt and raspberry fragments.

I doubt anyone can prompt the fairies to move faster. I suspect they wouldn't appreciate being badgered, so everyone is just going to have to wait patiently, and pass the time until they get a court date.
