Story of the Month: Unfair Competition

Writer's picture: Jim Two Crows WallenJim Two Crows Wallen

A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist thought the competition unfair.


He asked the good fathers to close down, they would not. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the most vicious thug in town to persuade them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he’d be back if they didn’t close. Terrified they did so, proving that: Hugh and only Hugh can prevent florist friars.
