Hi people, it's Leo here. Today's tale is about a not-so-epic quest for chicken feed. It all began some time ago (basically Sunday) when the royal chickens of Cluckingham Palace called on their bravest of knights Sir Mummugle and her faithful squire Leonidas von Blockhead. They were tasked with going on a perilous journey to the IGA of Doom. So, Sir Mummugle and her faithful squire Leonidas von Blockhead bravely mounted the forester beast and they were off  .... to go and patiently walk around a supermarket trying to find chicken food. Their journey was long and dangerous, they met many dangerous foes.... buuuuut they just went another way, They were much too sensible to get in a fight. At last they arrived at the dreaded IGA of Doom. Now their quest could truly begin. As they entered the dreaded souper marche, they were met by a horrid old witch who said ''come here my precious ''. Our heroes would never fall for such a line but it turned out the old witch was just talking to her jar of pickles! Soon enough they reached the chicken feed section but alas there before them was a ginormous troll ''answer my riddle and you will have a reward; what comes from underneath, looks beautiful but rots your soul?" "Grandma's biscuits'' replied squire Leonidas von Blockhead.   ''Close enough, here is your reward''. Sir Mummugle and her faithful squire Leonidas von Blockhead returned home carrying their reward of a bag of chicken feed with them. And that's the end of this tale. 

Until next time
