“A person grows fruits out of their head.”

Greetings, fellow Fruit Folk,

‘Tis I, Lord Snapperapple of Easteroak Village. I write this letter to you with a heavy heart, as I have some tragic news.

I am deeply sorry to announce that the annual Fruity Folks Festival will not take place this year.

Unfortunately, the Fruitsnatcher problem has grown increasingly urgent, with Fruit Folk getting their Fruit stolen right from their heads! I urge you not to panic, as I have been in contact with Lady Mangomano of Northypine Village, Lord Nelonlemon of Westingelm Village, and Lady Grapetape of Southesspalm Village, and we have collectively agreed to issue a worldwide manhunt for this terrible Fruitsnatcher!

So, I beg you, have no fear of the great outdoors. Continue giving your fruit the nourishment he or she needs, as we will soon find this Fruitsnatcher and end its reign of terror once and for all!

I hope you continue having the most wonderful day, and if there is any way in which I can be of service, please do not hesitate to contact me or visit me in my palace.

Your truly,
Lord Snapperapple

Final Comments: This one was so much fun to write! I especially enjoyed making up all these names, although I will say that trying to remember tree species sucked up a lot of time…
