The biggest attraction on the fair was the Ferris Wheel. The tall construction was the most expensive item used to attract people. Not that there was a shortage of people.
The worker elves from Alerion said they were from the forest of plenty. Grandpa Thinker had given them an allowance of 10 gold coins per elf to spend. This was better than Yule for them!
Theanore and Marinus ran from stall to stall. They had one gold coin each to spend, so the most they did was browse. Still, Theanore already had a chocolate pancake in her hand and Marinus was eating caramel hazelnuts.
They stopped before the puppet show of the elderly couple just as it was ending. Disappointed, the children began to leave when the old man raised his voice.
"And now we have a play for the book author herself! The tale of Theanore the Nymph. A good dungeon core!"
Theanore stopped mid-step and froze.
