The Oh Them's have been recently outlawed. The outlaws shall be going to a little house on a knoll. They have been outlawed because they have painted their doors different colors, dress differently,made fun of Fooley, switched the paintings, and made fun of Co.'s poem.

Goodmorning Gammage!

Good morning Watersplash! We just received news that Mingy was captured by the Mushrooms/Hairless Ones and Gummy was poisoned. We believe that the Mushrooms are in the old mines and may attack us any minute. Curley Green and Muggles are at the knoll with injured Gummy and are in danger. Walter the Earl gathered an army of fifty and some medics but there are 300 Mushrooms. Go to Reedy’s house and meet Walter the Earl to join the army and fight against the enemies.
This has been TM. at Goodmorning Gammage.

Since the first Spring Meeting it has been suggested by Geos' wife Eng.-Proper, decent Minninpin cloaks for everybody so we'll not feel ashamed" she quoted.
But the outlaws dare to disagree with them as Muggles stood up and tried to convince eveyone that if we changed the color we are on the inside wouldn't that be the same as cheating?

THE BATTLE
Early this cold fall morning Walter the Earl came back to Slipper on the water to tell Co. and Ltd. what happen. He told them that Mingy got stuck on the Sunset Mountains why he was spying on the mushrooms. Gummy went back to get Mingy but they threw a spear that was poisonous. Walter, Curly, and Muggles brought him back to their little house on the knoll. Once there Muggles used her ointment on Gummy while he was sleeping. Walter went back to his old village to tell Ltd. and Co. that invaders wee coming through the Sunset Mountains but they didn’t believe him cause he forgot the spears. So he left to find someone else. First he thought of Dingle but he wouldn’t help. Then he saw Spill then told him the story which he believed unlike Ltd and Co.
So if you want to join the battle meet at Reedy’s house. Even if your not a warrior we still need a medical staff. If you are a warrior come and fight.

THE "OH THEMS" OUTLAWED!!

watersplash,meetinghouse,gammage880
At the meeting one morning they decide that they need to make the village as best as possible. They can improve the village by rooffing and pay for it out of the money box. Mingy dosn't like that idea. He thought that the money needs to be spent wisley. paying for rooffing would leave the people poor for the rest of the year. They need to use the money for the sick fund. Not for roofing the houses.


Later on in the meeting Geo. and Eng. thinks every one needs green doors and green cloaks. When they said that they meant that the "Oh thems" need to change the color of thier doors, cloaks.

The "Oh Thems" started to take a stand but get outlawed instead. So the "Oh Thems" outlaw slipper-on-the-water. when they get up to leave Mingy and Muggles dont leave imedietly, they wait a few seconds before going. When they do mingy leaves the money box there.

They have to leave as soon as posible. They decide to follow Gummy wherever he goes. They get all the necessities and hed to the docks to follow gummy to wherever he leads them. They load up on five boats, one in each, and head on there way.

Minnipins Miner
Hairless Ones
Wednesday-The hairless ones are all so known as the Mushrooms. They are tall and hairless, they carry spears that are dipped in the poison. Their bellies are fat they have giant ears, they also can hear the faintest sounds. There is well over 200 of them. They have a horrible stink. When one of their men gets hit with the poison they have to go and get a big pot of white stuff. The white stuff takes the poison out of their skin so it doesn’t kill them. They tunnel through the mountains just to get to the minnipins village. They live in caves or old gold mines. They are seeking revenge on the minnipins. They wish to kill them.
