Jimmy The Bear : Scamming

Once upon a time, there used to live a bear who went by the name of Jimmy. He was a wily old bear, known as the “Prankster Of The Forest”, outdoing Slarb the fox and Trixie the monkey, his friendly neighbourhood rivals. He would go great lengths for his two favorite things, pranks, or sweet, sweet honey! One fateful, yet quite sunny day, a family of three decided to move into Jimmy’s territory.

They just finished their log cabin,which was built like a bungalow. They also brought a lot of snacks for a picnic.At night, Jimmy curiously went to investigate their campsite, seeing honey. He licked his chops and tasted the honey, but it tasted sour, and incredibly vomit inducing. He went to taste the chips, which he liked very much. He started thinking on how to find more of it. If he stole it, the family would hide it somewhere where he couldn’t find it. Then he thought about the dumb humans’ beliefs in things they called “ghosts”, and how they would do anything to not be “cursed” by them. He then had a lightbulb moment. He first went right back at late evening, where everyone Would be sleepy and easy to fool,and it was very dark.He then spoke in as hoarse a voice as he could manage”mwa ha ha ha ha,this foolish family shall get cursed by me”. The little girl and her parents came running, shivering in paranoia and fear, saying “w-wwww who’s there?” and Jimmy said “I ammmmmmmmmmmmmm a ghoooooost”. The little girl Asked “Please, please, please, Sir could we perhaps ppp-p-posssibly do anything to not get cursed by y-y-your mightiness?” Jimmy said, “Youuu cannn leave a barrel full of chips for me at 5 pm exactly, everyday until you die orr ellsse, feeel myyy wwrath.” The family agreed to the deal, not having much of a choice.

Jimmy then set up a deal with the forest animals, who really really liked chips, to receive the chips at 5 p.m and say they are working on the behalf of their master, the great ghost of the forest and in turn, get a share of the chips. He then set up some people to watch the bringers of chips and punish the ones who took an extra amount before Jimmy is given the chips, in exchange for getting favors done by Jimmy for them.

And so Jimmy got a lifetime supply of chips and learnt how to make a cool looking business with the help of all the forest animals.
