Reading this you may assume that this is just another one of those fairy tales with a happy ending to keep children happy, but this story goes a lot further back than any of the stories before it, and the difference is this one is true. So frightening that parents do not tell this tale to their children anymore. It was lost from history till now, It all began back in 1099.
Where there was a family of four who lived in the countryside near lake quiner, the family was very happy, Maggie was making amazing cloths for all of Drewoods, Jason was provided food from his farm for all the nearby castles. The two twins, Lisa and Able were able to be children and play, even in the forest. Then one day Maggi got sick and the next day she was buried. Jason was destroyed, unable to see past the now and the Children just did not see how this could happen.
Then came the crows, One of the neighbouring town had caught fire, and a large infestation of crows swept across the farm eating all they could find. Jason built as many scarecrows as he could, but they just weren't scaring the crows away. Fortunately for them, a magic woman called Mela showed up, she made the scarecrows walk around the fields with a single swing of her arms, with another swing Jason fell madly in love.
The children Lisa and Able could see that that something was wrong, but they said nothing. For two weeks Mela was always there, always everywhere. She always wanted to get the Children to play in the fields, but they did not really play much since her mother died. One day the two children are staring down the fields when they notice someone running across the fields with pure terror in his face. They assumed he got frightened by the moving Scarecrows, when suddenly he was hit in the back with a shovel, slowly a scarecrow walked over towards the man and dragged him away.
With fear the children ran to her dad Jason and told the exact story that had happened. Jason, just chuckled, I have been in those fields so many times over the last two weeks, but it is still a lot less than if we did not have those scarecrows. They are not hurting anyone , they just walk in a circle and scarecrows, now run along, go see the scarecrows and you will not be scared of them. You need to get over this childish fears.
The children went outside, and the stood on the porch, they knew going into the field would lead to a terrible faith, but they new they could not live as prisoner in there own house, they walked into slowly holding hands. The father looks out the window and smiles happy they were doing as he had asked, suddenly they vanished. The children disappeared in front of his eyes. He ran over to the field surveyed his surroundings but could see nothing, then he ran to the scarecrow but they were no longer moving, they just broke apart, all the scarecrows fell to the ground. Jason ran back inside to get Mela, but when he reached home he found that Mela was gone but had left a gingerbread house. The gingerbread house had three occupants, one green gingerbread woman, and a little ginger boy and girl broke in half.
Jason was heartbroken, he sold the farm and built a wood cabin inside the woods, he rejoined society after he saves a girl in a red cloak from a big bad wolf, and we all know the story from there.
Mela terrorised people until she grew old, then she built a giant gingerbread house deep in the forest, unfortunately for her she did not last the year in here new house, thanks to a brother and a sister.
