The Three Friars, entry for Finchy's contest.

Three Friar Monks were banned from their orders for commiting various
acts, being good friends, they decided to open a business together. They
opened a florist shop, which became very successful.
A woman perusing the florist shop one day, walked down one aisle with
her young child, a large plant reached out, grabbed the young child and
ate it. Needless to say, the women was quite upset at the loss of her
child. However, the friars refused to believe that one of their plants
could have done such a thing. The woman told all of her friends about
the incident, and soon everyone in the town was in an uproar. They
decided to kick the friars out of town. Every person in the town, except
for a man named Hugh, gathered outside of the friars' shop, shouting,
waving sticks, and demanding that they leave. But the friars said "No.
We're not leaving". So the townspeople gave up and went home.
Well, a couple weeks later, another woman was walking through the
friar's shop, looking at plants with her baby, when a plant grabbed her
child and ate it. She ran through the streets screaming that a plant had
swallowed her baby. The townspeople were outraged, and again gathered
outside the floral shop with the exception of Hugh, waving torches, and
demanding that the friars leave town at once. But the friars said, "No
way." and all the people gave up and went home.
A few days later, yet another woman dared to take her child into the
floral shop. She held her infant tightly in her arms, but it was no use.
A large ficus wrestled the child from her arms, and ate it.
When the townspeople heard of this, they were extremely upset. They
again gathered outside the friars' store, except for Hugh, yelling and
threatening bodily harm to the friars if they didn't leave town. But the
friars said, "We're staying". So, the citizens gave up and began to go
home. Just then, Hugh showed up. He walked up to the friars, and said,
"Get out of town, now!". The friars immediately packed up all their
belongings and fled that very day, never to be heard from again.
The moral of the story is: Only Hugh can prevent florist friars.
I hope you enjoyed it, Regards, Aldon

Penned by my hand on the 5th of Ero, in the year 383 AF.
