Zimta: Miss Oona, it is
most gracious of you to help me find a worthy present.
Oona: I’m happy to be of assistance, Zimta. But since you’ve never met the intended recipient,
it may be difficult to find something suitable –
Zimta: Ah, but this may help to smooth the path.
Besides, I wish it to express his innermost beauty. *smile*
Oona: That’s a pretty tall order for a first gift.
I suggest you pick something simple, like a book or a music CD –
Zimta: A book?
Oh, no, Miss Oona, that is so DULL –
Oona: Well, it depends on the subject matter. I
still think that for a first gift, you should take it slow –
Zimta: Oh no, this requires something DASHING,
something BOLD, that will make this person rise and say, “She is the MOST
exciting creature I will ever meet!”
Oona: I see…
Zimta: Have you heard of an expression – “Hiding
your light under a bushel.” Hide my light I will not…
Oona: *to herself* He’s gonna
wind up like a deer in headlights…
Zimta: But Miss Oona,
surely you can suggest –
Oona: Oh never mind – I’ll leave you to pick out what
you will, and let the chips fall where they may! **leaves room**
A few days later…
Oona: I see you have a package – I just heard the
mailman leave.
Zimta: Yes… IT arrived **sly grin**
Zimta: These I found myself – are they not splendid?
Oona: Ummmm – it doesn’t
even begin to describe those – those
– whatever!
Zimta: ‘Twas intuition that led me to these. As an
elf, I do possess the ability to find what is needed, when I listen to the
voice inside. Much as I have come to love your mortal world, it nearly stole my
elven senses. But when you left me alone and quiet, I
rediscovered them. And so discovered these –
Know I that your
intentions were good, but – I must never forget who I am – what I am --
Else how will he
truly know what I am, too… **a tear glimmers**
Oona: Oooo-kaaaay, then… Hope you like your new britches, Mister
Wonderful!
You tell ‘em,
Oona!
Changing gears, we come in on a
serious story of two brothers…
A parting
of the ways between two Elf brothers
