Frogg the Hermit

Once you are friends

Why would you befriend a bonkers old loner like me? Are you after my lucky charms?

Or even my unlucky charms?

I sit alone at night watching the corn flake in the fireplace, hunched in my shreddies... the snap and crackle of the fire as I pop tarts into my mouth.

I bet people think I am a cereal killer.

Anyway, cheerio.

Once they like you

Ohhhh, sing-a-long with me... 'Hedgehog, hedgehog on your kite, Like a shadow in the night'. Oh yes, I forgot, you already know I am not eccentric!

I do still think you are after my charms, though. I have so many in the house to protect me from everything from mischievous weevils to evil Ken Evil, the daring devil.

My parents were wanderers and sold charms and wards to the folk of Quill. I just loved the jangly sounds they made as our little pig-pulled cart ambled through the land, the trees as our bedposts.

Asking for help

I have lost one of my lucky charms! It was a charm to protect against losing charms.

Will you help me? I found a ransom note under my pillow, not in my handwriting at all.

Could you do the 'drop'? It has to be at night in The Shingles by the Twin Waterfalls.

The note says to throw a cooked food item on the designated spot, and then the charm will be thrown over the waterfall.

Come alone or with a follower/pet and no fuzz, so shave first.

When it is done

Wasn't that fun?! It wasn't really a charm that protects against losing charms. I could never truly lose that one.

Oh, the games we hermits play to pass the time.

I once challenged a ladybird to a game of Pants Burn! I somehow lost when my pants were set on fire.

However, I do love a good game of Hermits & Herbivores, Worms & Stepladders and my absolute favourite, Crying Alone Again.

Anyway, love you lots, do visit again, and whenever you hear a tinkle in the trees, it is someone having a wee.
