Tale Compilation - Episode 5
In the whimsical world of Paul McCann's contemporary novel, Fairytale Collection, two enchanting characters, Huggie and Dribbles, embark on a magical journey to restore balance between the dimensions.
The story unfolds under the half-light of twilight, with moonbeams cascading across the mountain tops, as Huggie receives a mission from Mother Nature. She is tasked with cleaning up the forests, collecting some red rocks, and plugging up the holes near the forest door to prevent poison gas from affecting the green pathways.
As Huggie and Dribbles set off on their quest, they are whisked away through a plug hole or water slide, landing in a field of purple-petalled sunflowers. With Dribbles' help, Huggie gathers the red rocks en route to the fourth dimension, where they must plug the holes between the sulphur fields and the forest door.
Their journey is filled with fantastical encounters. Pixies dance with delirium, white doves descend into crystal ponds, and Huggie and Dribbles row a small wooden boat. However, Huggie's allergic reaction to the sulphur pods causes her to become delusional, and she struggles to complete her mission.
Dribbles, ever the supportive companion, provides Huggie with a mother ship to aid in her mission into the fourth dimension. He also helps Huggie put the red rocks into her pockets, and together they face challenges such as wild winds that whisk them away and ten thousand blue butterflies with light sabres.
In the midst of their adventure, Mother Nature thanks them for their efforts, and Huggie expresses her love for Dribbles, still somewhat delusional. The novel concludes with Mother Nature singing a song of thankfulness and joy, and Huggie returning to her home by the forest door, having successfully completed her mission.
