The Medicrane

Once upon a time, there was a small village of not-so-bright people. The village was terrorized by an evil monster known as the Medicrane. Every few days, the Medicrane would lumber into town, muttering under his breath "Medicrane... Medicrane...", and snatch one of the villagers and take them to his den.


After a while of living in abject terror, the villagers went to the village Wise Guy (who was actually still of slightly sub-par intellect) to ask for a solution to their problem.

"What do we do?" cried the villagers.

"...Let's dig a hole!" shouted the wise guy.

"Why?" asked the villagers in unison.

"...Let's dig a hole!" shouted the wise guy.

"OK!" said the villagers in unison.


So the villagers dug a hole deep and wide along the path that the Medicrane normally took into the village. Later that evening, the Medicrane lumbered up to the hole, and said in a high-pitched shriek:

"A HOLE!"

Then he walked around the hole, grabbed a villager and stole away with him.


The next day, the villagers again approached the wise man.

"What do we do?" cried the villagers.

"...Let's put a loon in the hole!" shouted the wise guy.

"Why?" asked the villagers in unison.

"...Let's put a loon in the hole!" shouted the wise guy.

"OK!" said the villagers in unison.

So the villagers found the biggest and fattest loon they could find and placed at the bottom of the hole.

Later that evening, the Medicrane again lumbered up to the hole, and said in a high-pitched shriek:

"A HOLE! A LOON!"

Then he walked around the hole, grabbed another villager and stole away with him.

The next day, the villagers again approached the wise man, this time more wearily and skeptically than before.

"What do we do?" asked the villagers doubtfully.

"...Let's put sugar in the loon!" shouted the wise guy.

"Why?" asked the villagers in unison.

"...Let's put sugar in the loon!" shouted the wise guy.

"OK." said the villagers, crestfallen.

Once again, later that evening,the Medicrane again lumbered up to the hole, and said in a high-pitched shriek:

"A HOLE! A LOON! **SUGAAAAAAAAAAR**"

The Medicrane let out an un-earthly roar as he dove into the hole and started ripping apart the loon to shreds and devouring the sugar. After he had eaten it all, he noticed that he was trapped in the hole with no way out.

The moral of this story, my friends, is "A Loon Full of Sugar makes the Medicrane Go Down."

**TL;DR** Awful pun
