The Legend of YetiSpaghetti


Long ago far up in the hills near a great river lived a fearsome Yeti. He hid in a hollow log and demanded a gruesome toll from all the families who passed.

After years of living in fear, people from the nearby village started looking for ways to rid their town of the Yeti threat. As an angry mob started forming, one brave boy took pity on the lonely beast. He ventured out alone armed with nothing but a steaming Tupperware container.

He knocked on the Yeti's log and offered him a heaping serving of spaghetti. At first, Yeti was unsure about this strange stringy food, but once he tried it, he loved it! He and the boy who had introduced him to this new delicacy became friends. The boy triumphantly returned to the village to tell of the Yeti's new-found friendliness.

To this day, when families pass by Yeti's log, they pay his toll by taking him out to a nice little Italian restaurant for spaghetti.

No longer feared, the Yeti is loved and accepted by the villagers. Yeti rewards their generosity by keeping a protective watch over the town and by treating them to his beautiful yodeled songs.


Moral:

When you face a scary job,
When the beast demands a boodle,
Don't join in the angry mob,
Do not fear, just use your noodle!
