Door Sniffer’s huge nose quivered as he took a deep
breath. The smells were wonderful. There were cookies, of course, and sweet
breads, cinnamon rolls and terta, pastries and pies and so much more!
Troll slobber oozed out of his mouth and
slowly globbed in huge drips, smearing on his shoulder, pooling by his knee as
he crouched near the kitchen building.
The compound was very busy and he had been waiting a long time for a
chance to run across the courtyard.
Reindeer bellowed to each other and the trainers shouted as
they worked with the newbies. The Big
Guy’s Southern Training camp was in a state of frenzied excitement this time of
year.
The Mrs used the big kitchens here
to try out new recipes and everyone wanted to taste test. Door Sniffer wanted to be a part of it, but
he was definitely uninvited.
Skyr Gobbler kept him company until he found the stock of
Viili, the Finnish yogurt that was a lot like Icelandic Skyr.
Door Sniffer hadn’t seen him since but heard
a lot of yelling of “troll trouble!” from the dairy buildings.
Now that Stufur, Pot Scraper and Spoon Licker were here, they
would work together to get into that kitchen and get their hands on those
treats! He shivered in excitement. He saw the signal and knew the ruckus was
about to begin.
“Ka-plow! Wham! Boom!”
Rumbling sounds thundered across the small village.
A small avalanche of snow slid off the barn
roof and three figures jumped under the eaves of the stable. Sheep Cote Clod and Gully Gawk were after the
milk!
Trolls converged on the kitchen - Door Sniffer ran in the
back as everyone else ran out the front.
“EEEKKKKK!!!”
