It Begins

Today the war with the people of the yams reached The village of the Alphonso Mango. As of yet, there has been no actual fighting. The yam people have been smearing rotten smelly yams on the walls of our elementary schools and nurseries and think they are winning the "war". Our children have had great fun laughing at their stupidity and helping the adults re-plaster the walls.

However, there is some bad news. Just now, several of our spies arrived back in the village with news that another faction has entered the conflict: the eggplantians. These people truly are great warriors. Their reputation for ruthlessness and brutality is known far and wide. Our informants say their sympathy for the yam people stems from the fact that eggplants look a lot like yams that are simply purple, bloated, and not in the ground. We have nothing but respect for the clan of the eggplant. They are worthy truly worthy adversaries. We fight now not to destroy the worshippers of the disgraced yam, but for the honor of battling those who bow to the eggplant. Praise Mangore!
