Ferengi versions of Klingon fairy tales
Aug. 24th, 2005 09:18 pmOne of Apostate's friends posted something like 'what would the horror be of Ferengi versions?' Well, as I frequently say, a mind is a terrible thing. I wrote these up last night. Apostate suggested I post it as a top level so it wasn't just a reply, as he has, so here it is....

When she got there the cupboard was bare so the dog was sold to a friend, and following the Rules of Acquisition Mother Hubbard cheated the friend, got the dog back, kept the money, and was able to feed both herself and her dog for many weeks with the proceeds.”
