"Oh, no!" wailed the villagers in carefully coordinated unison. "Lottie and Hakon are dead!"
"Wait, wait!" Sally said. "Try that line again, but this time to the tune of Yankee Doodle."
"Yankee Doodle?" Zil asked.
"Nah. Let's try singing it to a simple scale," Kit suggested.
Everyone tried it and agreed that they sounded good.
"We sound good," Nerwen said.
"We could form a band and go on a world tour," Wilwa suggested.
"Except for the fact that six of us are evil," Shasta pointed out.
"Well, other than
that," Pitchie said.
"We could go Carribean," Izzy said, pulling out a couple of coconuts.
"Where'd you get coconuts?" Elfie asked. "We live next to Belegaer; there are no coconuts here."
"Maybe they migrated," Shasta said.
"Migrating coconuts?" Nerwen groaned.
"Maybe a penguin brought it," Boro suggested. All eyes turned to Lommy.
"Don't be silly," Nog said. "Penguins can't fly."
"Yeah, but if she tied the coconuts to her legs she might be able to float," Morsul said.
"Penguins can float anyway," Zil said.
"Penguins swim. They can't fly," Lommy said.
"Then how did you bring the coconuts?" Sally asked.
"I didn't!" Lommy said.
"I'm confused and my head hurts where someone dropped a coconut on it," Pitchie moaned.
"Let's settle this once and for all," Wilwa said.
"Yeah!" Morsul agreed. "Let's throw her off a cliff and see if she flies!"
"I was thinking we could just ask Izzy where she got the coconuts," Wilwa said. "But your way is more fun."
"Wait, what?" Lommy said.
So the villagers threw Lommy off the handy-dandy nearby cliff into the ocean. A few minutes later, a drowned wolf's body washed up onshore. It had a crystal ball clutched in its jaws.
