Pythian Games

My Coco Pop Day

When I opened the box of Coco Pops this morning and this vile old troll was looking at me, sneering, telling me that I was a naive simpleton to believe in people, I should have known that it was not going to be one of my better days.
I gasped and shut the box, gulped down a quick coffee and turned on my computer. Alas, as I opened the Pythian Games there was the creature, jeering, mocking me, laughing, taunting me. She had stripped the place and had a look of utter self satisfaction on her face.
“What a fool I have been” I thought to myself as I looked, stunned to see that so much of innocent people’s work had been so deftly deleted. What had they done to face the wrath of the troll, this horrid cyber criminal?
My elderly mother only reinforced my feelings when, upon hearing my tale of woe, asked, ‘but how was this possible Heather?”
I gritted my teeth. No old troll, no sabotage freak was going to spoil my day.
And she didn’t!

Ravens flew to the rescue, lovingly replacing things that had been removed.
The moral of the story is that good does outweigh evil. Good does triumph, especially when you focus on the positive and put the negative in to perspective. Just because the coco pops are filled with bugs does not mean it is going to be a really bad day. It just means you are going to be forced to have a reality check.
Coco Pops are best kept in a sealed container and if you value a collaborative blog it is wise to be prudent and take precautionary measures.
