Disclaimer: I do not own Hetalia or the characters

So because I completely forgot about St. Patty's day, here's a late Irish folk tale. The folk tale is called "The Hunchback's gift." The characters are as follows: Ireland as the Lushmore, England as the gossiping woman, Northern Ireland as Jack Madden, and England's fairy friends as the fairies.

Hope you like =)

Ireland's gift

Long ago there lived a man called Ireland, who had the largest eyebrows anyone had ever seen; which would cause him great headaches. It was due to these eyebrows that people tended to avoid him, even to the point where a person would feel odd if alone on the same street as him. Then some strange stories began to circulate about the poor man. Despite all of this however, he was still a hard worker, and would make more than his keep by weaving straw into hats and baskets. Due to all of this, he was rather well known in the area.

One night, Ireland found himself walking back to his house from a neighboring town. As it turned later, he began to tire and decided to rest by the moat of a castle. Soon after stopping, he heard an otherworldly song arise from the moat. He then began to listen in silence as the music continued the same rhythm of "Da Luan, Da Mort, Da Luan, Da Mort, Da Luan, Da Mort," and then would pause.

As he listened to the music, he soon became bored with it and at one of the pauses decided to yell out, "augus Da Cadine."

When he did this, the music stopped and he found himself pulled into the moat by a band of delighted fairies. The fairies then began to thank him for fixing their song by offering him a feast and servants for the night. They then told him that they would take his thick eyebrows away and did so."

The next morning, Ireland awoke to find himself on the shores of the moat; wearing a new suit and his eyebrows no longer large. Happily, he rushed back to his town and showed everyone what had happened. At first they did not believe that he was the same person, but after proving that he was the same Ireland they shared in his joy.

Soon word of what had happened to Ireland began to spread far and wide, and people became to visit him simply to hear his story. One day a young man came to Ireland's house and asked, "Tell me, can you direct me to Ireland's house?"

"This is he," Ireland answered, "What can I do for you?"

"I heard about how you lost your eyebrows with the help of the fairies, and I was wondering if you could tell me. You see, my brother Northern Ireland has eyebrows so large that my other brothers and I are afraid that it will be the death of him," the man answered.

To this Ireland told the man everything that he did. After this, the man thanked Ireland and rushed off to his home to tell his brothers. With the knowledge to help their brother, they took Northern Ireland to the moat and left him there for the night.

Soon enough, the fairies began to sing the version of their song that Ireland had created; this time without a pause. Northern Ireland always felt that he was a clever man, and decided that if saying augus Da Cadine got rid of his eyebrows and gave him a new outfit, then saying augus De Hena would give him even more. So without even waiting for a part in the song that sounded correct, he yelled out "Augus De Hena!"

When he said this, the music stopped and he was dragged into the moat by a band of very angry fairies. The fairies then began to yell at him for ruining the song that they were singing, and as punishment forced him to have not only his own large eyebrows but also Ireland's.

The next day the brothers found Northern Ireland on the banks of the moat now with four large eyebrows. Feeling awful about the plan not working, they took their brother back to their house. On the way, he died due to their incredible weight.

The End

To those wondering: I don't really know what they're saying in the song, all the book I got the story from said was that it was the names of the days on the week. I'll pick a story that has a happier ending next .XD

Anyways, if you want to read a parody of a certain myth/folk tale/fairy tale or a parody with a certain character then please say so in a review.
