Disclaimer: I do not own Hetalia or the characters
Sorry about not updating lately, I was busy with several tests and my other stories. So anyways, the story being parodied this time is the Celtic myth of the mystical salmon of wisdom. The characters are Northern Ireland for the bard Finnegas and young England for Finn McCool.
Hope you like.
England and the Salmon of wisdom
Long ago there was a mystical pool that was surrounded by nine hazel trees. The reason this pool was mystical was because the hazel trees were blessed so that the nuts would give whoever ate them the wisdom they needed at that moment in their life. In the pool there was a salmon that everyday would eat one of these nuts, and due to this had became very wise; so much so that if someone were to eat it the person would become the wisest person in the world.
One day a bard called Northern Ireland came to the pond, and knowing of the salmon decided to try to catch the fish. He tried with all of his being, and soon seven years had passed. During this time, he had also found himself in the charge of his younger brother called England. He would usually have the boy cook and clean his small camping area as he tried to catch the salmon.
After exactly seven years of trying, Northern Ireland had caught the salmon and with great joy called to England and told him, "Go cook the salmon, runt. And don't ye dare take a single taste!"
England did as he was told, but still being young and not a very good cook he accidently burned his thumb. When this happened, the boy instinctually stuck his thumb in his mouth. This caused some of the fish's oils to go into his mouth and the fish's wisdom to be past to him.
After this, England quickly finished cooking the fish and brought it to his older brother. When Northern Ireland received the fish he realized that there was something different about the boy. Realizing this he asked, " Ye didn't taste any of my fish did ye?"
England looked down at his feet and told his brother, "Sorry Northern Ireland. I was cooking it when I burned my thumb and placed my thumb in my mouth to make it stop hurting. I didn't mean to taste it, honest."
Northern Ireland was angry with this, because he could no longer gain the wisdom from the fish, but there was also no point in taking it out on the boy. He gave out an angry sigh and told England, "Just eat the rest of it and leave me be. I can't teach ye anymore now."
England then ate the rest of the salmon and as he was told left. When he grew up he became a very wise leader who when ended up ruling almost half of the world.
The End
Sorry that it's so short.
