Grandma B chuckled and said, "Well, she has lived a long time and remembers a lot of things that happened when she was little. She loves to tell some tall tales too."
Marlee said, "Tall tales, what is that?"
Grandma B said, "Pretend stories. She loves to tell make believe stories just like you do."
"Oh, so that's what a tall tale is. Well, I wonder what kind of story she would tell about our enchanted forest?
"Let's put some little elves on the powdered sugar and take some pictures and send it to Grandma Lu. Do you think she could make a story out of these pictures of this enchanted forest, just like I do with Else, the elf, at my house?"
"I don't know. I'll send these to her and see what she does with them. We will tell her that we challenge her to tell a story from these pictures we send to her. That will be fun, won't it?"
Marlee said, "Yes, remember Else was bad while I was taking a nap? I wonder why she was bad...
What Marlee and Grandma B didn't know was that Else, the name Marlee had given her little elf was a second cousin several times removed of elves that lived as far away as Oklahoma. Those elves were having the time of their lives terrorizing a little dog called Poppy.
Grandma Lu loves nothing better than a challenge. She may already have thrown the gauntlet back!
