He should've visited the fortune teller first. It might've saved him a few copper.

For some reason, I still think Dale would’ve missed it.

Carnival games used to have more integrity. It’s a shame.

Thanks for reading!

Every town should have a Fleur de Floomp 😂

Haha. Completely agree. Games. Ducks. Riddles. What more do you need? Thanks for reading!

“This is either your first Fleur de Floomp or you’ve confused me with a tourist who fell off the turnip cart.”

This had me rolling and also wondering what tourists who fall off turnip carts look like.

Haha. You’ll have to ask Dale. I’m sure it’s quite distinctive and reflects a person who has no idea how to pick out a bird at a Fleur de Floomp.

Hehe. The Fleur de Floomp. What a rockin good time. It's great that Dale was able to demonstrate archery skills, long with fine sportsmanship and boy did Mark's sister miss out. Ah, well. Clearly, she wasn't lady enough to take on such a role as Dale's bride. Great fun, Ricky!

I think we can all agree Mark’s sister is the biggest tragedy revealed in this story. Thanks for checking out the Fleur de Floomp.

Sounds like Robin Hood didn’t attempt to succeed as many times as Dale did, and so I say that Dale still gets an A for effort! 🏹💯

Another great tale about these two! :D
