Troll Help

The Trolls often help me, and yes, some times they just play hard. This year’s help was Spectacular, as they helped me rake the yard. Now, how do you motivate a Troll… you are wont to say? It’s really quite easy if the correct incentives are found in the play. For you see I have a really big yard, full of great big leafy trees. So I had made a plan to get them, to help me take care of these. Now Trolls love shiny baubles, but money doesn’t mean a thing. So under the leaves, in each part of the yard, I had seeded shiny things. Then when one Troll strolled by, I raked up a shiny bauble from the leaves. He was so impressed he got some friends to come and see what I had achieved. Four quickly volunteered to help, if they could keep their illustrious Bling. They are very territorial when the finding of shiny baubles becomes involved. But I was able to send them running, into definitely different parts of the yard. And they continued to rake every leaf they found in my yard as the day evolved. All is well, that ends well… for I had seeded baubles everywhere the leaves blew. Then I paid them all the running fare for helping, and my conscious was happy, too. They started to dump the money, until I explained how it could be used, so fair. For I would take them to the Five and Dime Store, just down the street, to where… The money could buy more shiny baubles, yes; they would have more to come. And I told the storeowner, that with a few rules Trolls could be profitable and fun. I had him put 4 separate tables, of baubles, on the sidewalk for them to sort thru. This stops territorial fighting and breakage, as they no longer wander without a clue. Everyone was happy; me, The Trolls, and the owner of the store, had all won. I became a hero; it was plain to see, as the fun filled day of work was finally done.
