The city of Clarksburg is over run by noisy, nasty little children and the town’s folk are at their wits end. It’s been said you can hear the screams of the tantrum throwing children clear across the river in Wisconsin.

Last Tuesday, Mr. Arthur Webber, an import export trader of fine dried salamis rare sausages and meats became the newest citizen of Clarksburg and was welcomed warmly by his neighbor’s two children Bobbie and Billy.

They threw eggs at his house, his car and his cat.

Turning the other cheek, Mr. Webber chuckled to himself, shook his head smiling and uttered one word, “kids”. He then whipped out a large grilling fork and knife and invited all of his neighbors and their children to a backyard barbeque.

His grilling was perfection and his meats, heavenly. Mr. Webber’s backyard barbeques became a weekend event for the entire town.The people of Clarksburg began to notice, however, after each of Mr. Webber’s barbeques the town got a little bit less noisy.


This story is a semi modern twist on the story of Hansel and Gretel.
