The Kobold Burger Story
Poppy was always an enterprising kobold. Smarter than your average kobold, Poppy was able to follow simple recipes and loved to cook. He dreamed of becoming a burger stall owner. To earn a living honestly would be his chance to get out of the gutters. Poppy set out with nothing but his wooden box and his cooking supplies to start his food stall business. After setting up at kobold’s crossroads serving travelers the occasionally grill skewered frog and roasted grasshoppers, business was struggling. On one particularly gloomy day of bleak sales Poppy was visited by a hungry rat. Feeling sorry for the rat he tossed him a bit of the stew he cooked up that day. He watched as the rat sniffed the morsel suspiciously then took a nibble. Immediately the rat spit out the food and exclaimed to Poppy’s surprise, “this is terrible!”.
“You rat can’t do better”, Poppy retorted.
“Ah but you’re mistaken, I can do much, much better”, the rat came back.
“Leave Poppy alone, Poppy has enough problems”, Poppy sunk back into his food stall stool. Hanging his head. His once perky ears now floppy. Tears began to well up in his eyes.
The rat with his beady red eyes leaned in close to Poppy, “I’ve got a proposal for you Kobold, listen very closely...”.
"Extra, Extra!!! Kobold creates burger empire! Best burgers in the Runiverse! Franchise locations at all major cities. Kobold Poppy is a massive success story!!!"
…
Poppy looks at Ratberry the rat, “Poppy is so happy we meet, master Ratberry. Your secret ingredient really makes them burgers taste good!”.
Ratberry, “Of course you idiot, now let me think”.
The rat was deep in thought, planning on how he was going to source his secret ingredient as it was becoming more and more difficult as business expands. The challenge was finding enough gullible rats to follow him into his slaughter chambers. One young female rat almost escaped the other day and exposed his whole operation. Luckily Ratberry was able to quickly dispatch her with a swift blow to her head with a tiny hammer. Clearly, streamlining operations was a top priority. If he couldn’t find more meat for the burgers his carefully crafted empire would collapse.
And then with a twitch of a whisker, Ratberry let out an evil laugh, “muhahahaha I’ve got it! They’ll never suspect a thing. Hahahahhaaaaaaaaa….”
