News from the toy factory of Kaap!
|
|
|
Before I came, Mark the Wizard of wizards has set up a painting factory. Nadine and other volunteer wizards have painted lots of the pots, and the saucers too.
|
|
|
So when Eric picked me up in the airport and drove me to the fort, they have almost finished painting all these Italian pots …
|
|
|
… and saucers.
|
|
Nadine turned out to be an earth wizard. She studied for three years to be a florist.
|
|
|
So under her supervision we set up a potting factory.
|
|
|
We potted and potted and potted.
|
|
|
When the pots were ready we put them on the ground.
|
|
|
The flowers spread magic.
|
|
|
The magic invited all kinds of insects.
|
|
|
Not only this ecstatic butterfly, but also ecstatic bumblebees.
|
|
|
And I had the curse of the pollen.
|
|
|
Tiong also came to help. He helped with a bit of potting, and a bit of deflowering.
|
|
|
And we had to store the flowerpots inside one of the bunkers because there were four sheep eyeing them.
|
|
|
Four sheep! Imagine what the little prince will say. He would want the sheep in a cardboard box.
|
|
|
But instead, we put the flowers in a cardboard box.
|
|
|
The next day I started putting the saucers on the ground.
|
|
|
When I got to China, I realized we were missing 51 yellow saucers.
|
|
|
So Sebastian came and painted 51 saucers in yellow, and left it out to dry.
|
|
|
At the end of the day I was almost completed the world.
|
|
|
And the Wizard said, let us rest.
|
|
|
|
I realized I haven’t seen fire in such a long time.
