Subject: The whole story...

Okay, 'M sure y'all wanna know wot zactly is 'appeninn', so I'm gonna tell yer. Afew days ago I got a message from a bird over there. *Points to a corner where a large bluejay stands* The letter was from me liddle landlubber of a brother Tortall, 'n'he lives on Kauw Island with a whole buch o' other landlubber freaks'n'some island natives. The natives 'as an idol of a flying cow called Norm, yer see, and it was stolen by a shipful of Woozles from the Heffalump Isles. And now the natives are tres, tres pissed, and are attackin' poor ol' Tortall'n'his pallies, so he wants me ter go retrieve the idol. He says that the Woozles also have a lot of treasure we cudd take, too! *Nods to the bluejay and attemps to write a letter on a scrap of parchment*

deer tortell,
wer'e conimg as quig as posible. cee yu soon.
-Romy

*The bluejay tilts his head at the stoat's horrible spelling and squaks* Kreeee! Can't spell, can't spell! Heehee! *Grabs the letter and takes off*
