A Day in the Life of a Gnome

Once upon a time there was a gnome named Knob, who lived

the far off land of Gnomania. Gnomania is a huge underground

lair with only one entrance. The only entrance to this lair is by

swimming down to the bottom of the ocean floor and knocking on

a large clam. On the other side of this clam is an old grouchy

gnome named Stubby whose only job was to keep the clam clean,

and listen for the knock of incoming visitors. To assist Stubby in

guarding the clam, he had a pet snark. A snark is an animal or pet

that can be used as a watchdog.

One day Knob went to visit his grandmother in the land of

Gnollie which is about a guzillion centimeters away from

Gnomania. On his way to his grandmother?s house he ran across a

garden. Upon stumbling on the garden, he decided to be

thoughtful and pick some tulips for his grandmother. Tulips were

her favorite snack.

While approaching his grandmother?s house, he found

something to be very strange. His grandmother was hovering on an

him she also sprinkled him with some of her fairy dust. She

handily carried it around in her turban. She naturally invited him

in for dinner where they ate lots of mosquitoes. After dinner, they

watched a cheap imitation of television. They used a big box to

put different animals in and called it the Discovery channel.

By the end of the day Knob was getting a little weary, so he

decided to return home.

When he returned form Gnollie his pet snark was there to

welocme him home. He welcomed his snark back by feeding it

fisheyes or to us humans dog biscuits. After the short snack, Knob

and his snark went back to his teepee where they hibernated until

the next morning.

The next day Knob met up with his friend Door. Door was a

runaway gnome who lived on the streets of Gnomania. They met

one day by accident. Since Door lived on the streets, he had to

steal food to survive. One day when
