Orange?? Dragon Friday?

A letter sent in by Miss Judicea "Gammer" Took  

Dear Bramblebury Gazette,  

Being a loyal reader of your newspaper, I feel it as my duty to point out a possible printing error on your front page: among the recurring events, it mentions "Orange Dragon Friday". If it is not a printing error, I wonder what this Barmy Rootknot lad has been up to now! Changing the trusted name of his very old and famous inn? He was no good as a young lad either, he was. Always looking for trouble and trouble looking for him. Please enlighten this old lady about this matter.  

Yours,

J. Took, Michel Delving.

Editor's reply.:

Dear Miss Took,

Thank you for reading our Gazette with such a keen eye. But no, it was no misprint. Not this time. Let me try to explain to you and our other readers:

Miss Lina Willowwood, who is always doing the splendid job of smoothly guiding us through the Green Dragon fridays as host and master of ceremonies, is out of biscuit bounds this week. She has asked Master Simbo Rumblebelly to take over this Friday. Also, she has left a task list on the Grand Order's Bulletin Board. I quote:

• • Play pipes

  • Build forges in Songburrow

  • Build pig pens in Songburrow

  • Look for my secret biscuit stashes

  • Dye anything orange

Knowing Miss Lina, these are a bit odd requests, but Master Simbo and others have taken it upon them to complete the list before her return.
