Hibbs walked through the green tangle of trees and brush. The cub was sad. Spring was here. Winter was gone. So, too, was the Turquoise Woman -- off on one of her mysterious trips.
"Faith!," chirped a voice above him.
Hibbs looked up through the velvet cover of the leaves. He went stiff. A little man, dressed in the oddest green clothes Hibbs had ever seen.
"It's me gold yer after, isn't it?"
"I can't eat gold. But have you seen any blueberries?"
The small man looked shocked, then outraged. "You don't mean to be saying, you have no yearning for me gold?"
Hibbs had quite enough of this strange two-legged. "I am yearning to be alone."
Hibbs ambled off in search of berries and solitude. The leprechaun leapt from tree to tree harassing the poor cub for his lack of discernment.
The cub walked like this for some minutes when a swirl of snowflakes danced all around him, finally becoming the tall, regal Turquoise Woman.
She tweaked his wrinkling nose softly. "Didn't you see that leprechaun fall out of that tree twelve paces back?"
Hibbs' face brightened. "Oh, that's wonderful!"
The Turquoise Woman frowned, "Wonderful?"
"Yes. I thought I had gone deaf!"

My very own production. Drumroll, please :
Hibbs here: What? Just because I ate a 4 leaf clover nobody is going to talk to Roland? Sigh. You're going to make me sad guys.
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patty's Day!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd Happy St. Patrick's Day to you, too, Michael. Be sure and wear green. Don't want to get pinched! Roland
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha!! OH my! I had no idea where this Hibbs story was going and BAM! Knocked me out with the funny. Ahh, I love that bear. Thanks for the entry(and what a great one it was!). You have been counted! Happy SPDay!
ReplyDeleteColene : It makes my day that I could make you laugh ... or rather Hibbs did. Thanks for offering such a wonderful idea for a blogfest! Have a great St. Patrick's day!! Roland
ReplyDeleteLOL! This was excellent! Hibbs cracks me up. I love him!
ReplyDeleteYes, Heather, there's never a dull moment with Hibbs, the cub with no clue! And he likes you, too. He's a pushover for anyone who laughs at his jokes. LOL. Roland
ReplyDeleteOh, how cute! That's funny. Thanks for sharing Hibbs' story today.
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day to you! :)
Hibbs' got the better of a leprechaun. I think that's brilliant.

Rosie : Thanks for enjoying Hibbs' run-in with a leprechaun. No rest for the Irish today! Roland
ReplyDeleteNancy : Hibbs the cub has an innocent outlook on life, and that trumps a leprechaun every time. They see so little of innocence themselves from mortals, greedy for their gold! Thanks for visiting and leaving such a nice comment. Roland
ReplyDeleteHibbs is so innocent and itent on his berries, he doesn't even wonder about the little man pestering him - it's wonderful and made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI love this story! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day!
A happy story, a bear with no desire for wealth just food. Makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteHi. Oh, I absolutely loved this story - gorgeous! Thanks,
ReplyDeleteLx
Gotta love Hibbs the Bear and you write him so well.
ReplyDeleteThat was very cute. Thought he'd gone deaf. *snicker*
ReplyDeleteErin : Hibbs lives in his own littl world, puttering about on quests that make sense to him and few adults! Even Leprechaun adults!!LOL.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked this small tale of little Hibbs, Golden Eagle.
Susan : Hibbs found his wealth when the Turquoise Woman returned. But berries would have been "the icing on the cake!"
Laura : Hibbs, the cub with no clue, has an innocent magic about him, doesn't he?
Mary : Hibbs would love you, too. especially if you had some berries in your hand!
Mara : Hibbs, though innocent, has his own dry sense of humor. It's a bear cub thing! LOL. Thanks for liking my tale I wrote especially for my blog friends, Roland
LOL!!! Give that bear a hug!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to come back and look at your production. For some reason, I can't hold my eyes open this week!
Hope your St. Patrick's Day has been calm and uneventful!
My own eyes are heavy, but I'm still at work. Miles to go before I rest, Roland
ReplyDeleteI love little Hibbs! What a great twist on the SPD story.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating!
HI, HIbbs. and Hi to you to Roland,
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't be any cuter... (Hibbs, I've never seen Roland... so mysterious, ooooooo)
Loved the story... It seems VIctor is awfully quiet these days. He must be sulking in a corner.
Happy St. Paddy's. I know you're part Irish...Have a Guinness and unwind.
Michael
Hibbs is so cute! What a great little story! Very funny.
ReplyDeleteI like Hibbs' responses. There are more important things in the world than gold. I'd probably be the same way about my chips and diet pepsi.
ReplyDelete.......dhole
Thanks, Alexia : Hibbs' adventure begins in ancient Ireland, so he couldn't resist doing today's blogfest!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michael, but I'm on-call so no Guiness for me tonight. Besides I get into enough trouble sober! Trust me. Hibbs is much cuter than I am! LOL.
My BlueScreen : Hibbs is going to get a big head from all these compliments! No, he's much too innocent and curious for that to happen. Thanks for liking his tale.
Donna : Indeed there are more important things than gold -- especially for Hibbs with no pockets!! Have a great end of week. Roland
That was cute! I was wondering where the story was going when I could see we were coming to the end. Poor Hibbs. Not his fault the leprechaun doesn't understand bear cubs.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated St. Patty's Day, Roland!
Totally thought Hibbs was going to eat that leprechaun if he couldn't find any blueberries and the little thing didn't let up. :-) I would have!
ReplyDeleteTracy : Hibbs is always being misunderstood or myth-understood! LOL. And happy belated St. Patty's Day to you, too.
ReplyDeleteJennie : Hibbs was tempted, but was afraid of ingesting too much blarney for his own good! :)
