The Legend of the Hair Dye

Once upon a time, there was a young man that went by the name of Hooker, in the greener lands of the old Ireland.

Our story starts when the wheels of time turned to November, where our young hero celebrated another year of his illustrious lifetime.

A young lady named Cobainy watched Hooker from afar, and wished him to live long and prosperously. And seeing a perfect occasion to let her wishes to be known, she went to the merchant's, obtaining a small vial of the celebrated Purple Hair Dye, that would make its wearer a most pleasing sight.

However, a problem remained--that there was no way that the vial would cross oceans and land to reach its destination.

And so Cobainy tried. This is the recount of her attempts to get the vital liquid (paste?) to Hooker.

First, Cobainy went to the good old Postal Worker, and questioned her in her ability to send the vial. The Postal Worker informed her that such vials could not be sent via regular mail, lest they spilled and wasted their precious contents on regular luggage. Postal Worker advised Cobainy to pack the vial on a small cardboard box, and bring it back with a hefty sum of silver coins so it could finally be on its way.

Cobainy, full of hope, carefully packaged the vial, along with some other proofs of her love to Hooker, in a small, intricately decorated cardboard box. She took it back to the Postal Worker, but alas, this was her day off. Another Postal Worker took her place today, and he disapproved of the contents of the box, insisting that it was much too heavy for the Metal Birds to carry across the ocean. Another Postal Worker advised young Cobainy to place her precious vial on a bigger box, and to bring it back along with more silver coins.

Cobainy did as she was told. However, she did not bring a sufficient amount of silver coins, and the precious vial remains in her room, in a shrine of Other Postal Boxes.

The End.
