Philly (Philly Special): 5/10 - A Mother’s Day Fairytale

For Mother’s Day, Foster Philly has a fairy tale.

There once was a young orphan who came to a new castle. His name was Philly even though he was from the West land of Virginia. He was greeted by a loving beautiful queen, Queen Esme, who was old enough to be his mom or grandma.  She wasn’t effusive in her love but she watched over him and showed she cared. She was beautiful and wore a tiara. One day as she was high on her dais, the castle was attacked by an evil wizards minions - the appalling Opposum, a rascally Rooster and the fiersome Fox.  As the queen fainted in the light of their presence the young man defended her honor and fought with incredible speed and dexterity.  There were many villains to conquer and they were loud and nefarious. They kept resurrecting after he tossed them in circles and attacked with his sharp mouth swords.  The battle ensued for hours until at last he defeated them for the evil queen who was like his mother. And they both rested safe in their companionship and love. The End.
