Sinbad the Elf Eater

A man named Sinbad exists and he eats the green and the blue elves that exist in a magical forest.  Sinbad is interesting in that he loved to pick ripe fruit off of his apple tree in the late afternoon once a week and usually during rain showers.   I miss Sinbad but I must say I never really felt he was a very friendly sort.  The elves were sadly afraid of him as if they were going to be eaten any time he appeared in the forest.  They even went so far as to carry spray paint cans around and would paint themselves orange, red and silver every time Sinbad was in the vicinity.   I did not think Sinbad was really that bad, but I do not relate a positive interaction with Sinbad the morning I went to pick an apple off his apple tree.   It just did not seem to him that there was any way a nice fellow from Georgia like myself had any right to eat apples in the first place.  He assumed that I only ate Peaches and that was all.  But I admit, I do enjoy an apple once in a while.
So if you see Sinbad, don't give him directions to your magical forest in life.  And don't ask him for his elf population in his own magical forest.  He might think that you are there to compete with him and that wont get you any apples at all.  So long, Sinbad.  I never found you to be very organized or eager to stand in the forest and save a few elves for the future.   So long.  It was really a nice day when I saw your apple tree photographs in your work office.  That's all I can say about Sinbad.  It was neat to know such a fine man who liked the blue and green elves.  As for me, I just let the elves dance in the morning and feed them apples and oranges in the twilight.  It makes them all turn red and orange and no one feels like eating a discolored elf.  Thanks!
