Once upon a time at the end of a long twisted path was a house, Mara's house...
|
|
The path was so long and twisted that anyone who ever attempted to try to get to see this magical woman they called Mara, always gave up! So Mara lived all alone with only the animals in the forest. She learned a lot from the animals, but never really had anyone to talk to until one day when she was out gathering herbs. Underneath and old log was a little creature that looked like a little man! You guessed it - a Gnome! His name was Knarf.

Mara knew all about gnomes, but this was the first time she had the privilege of really getting to know a gnome. She told Knarf how lonely she was. No on ever visited Mara because she lived so far away! But that was soon over. Knarf brought his family and friends to meet Mara. After that Mara had plenty of company. Gnomes from all over the world knew where they could get a good meal, and some good conversation. Mara learned so much from the Gnomes and the forest animals. She only wished that someday she could tell you all she knew.
Mara just grew older and wiser and had no one to tell her stories to. She would look in the mirror and laugh at times seeing how much she resembled the "witch" in "Sleeping Beauty". One day she told the Gnomes the story about the old hag who gave the beautiful princess the poisoned apple. The Gnomes knew Mara was not an old hag, but rather a very wise and kind person.

Knarf had an idea. He thought about Mara's story of the wicked witch and the poisoned apple. He told the other gnomes that was what Mara needed - an Apple! The other gnomes were disturbed - an apple for Mara! Who would want to poison Mara?
But you see Knarf was a very intellectual and smart gnome and new about modern technology! One day when he was helping Santa he saw the LIST and that Tom was getting an Apple for Christmas. He asked Santa what it meant and Santa told Knarf about an Apple computer.
Last year the gnomes made sure that Santa brought Mara an Apple - a Mac that is! And ever since then she has been busy putting together stories, recipes and a lot of other surprises! Mara can talk to the whole world from her computer and still live way off in the distance on that long and twisted path. For the first time a mystic who lives with the gnomes can share with the whole world the wisdom she has gained from the Gnomes and the woodland creatures!
