There came a message on
Geronimo’s e-mail God needed an emissary to
go to Ireland. Being a dutiful Elf Geronimo
responded. He put on his nicest outfit and
headed off To the central office, where the Lord
was. He was greeted by the big fisherman
himself, What a joy that was to see Sr. Peter in
his glorious white robe and to have him usher
Geronimo into the great hall where, God was
sitting in a huge recliner. This was not the
first time he had seen the Lord But Geronimo
didn’t remember him looking so ordinary.
Geronimo sat on the footstool at God’s feet and
listened intently while the boss explained the
problem. It seemed his children in Ireland were
in a crisis and fighting among themselves about
all things religion. This did not set well with
the Lord. He spoke very softly but loud enough
for Geronimo, with his tiny ears to hear him. It
was decided that God would improvise
transportation. Geronimo suggested that he use
his fairy wings and asked for a strong North
Wind to blow him to Ireland. God agreed and
thought this was a marvelous Idea. With a loud
roar He summoned the wind. When Wind appeared he
gave him strict instructions To follow Geronimo
all the time he was in Ireland.
Then the Lord gave him some extra strong,
super-charged fairy wings. With a flash they
were off to a place Geronimo had always wanted
to go. He was going to the home of his ancestors
in the beautiful Emerald Isle, with his
companion the North Wind. He was ready for
adventure. Wind was in exceptionally good form
for with a huff and a puff here they settled on
the loveliest place of all. They were greeted by
the weird sound of bagpipes and singing from
small little men who he found out later were
Leprechauns. However they turned out to be just
the guys he needed to see. They seemed to have a
lot of influence on the rest of the people.
Geronimo spoke with Shaun and Kent for a long
time. He told them that the Lord was most
displeased with all the fighting that was going
on among the large folks. Shaun and Kent got
their clans together. What a meeting that
was!!!!
Each Leprechaun was assigned to a person. They
formed a plan to Crawl into bed at night and
whisper in everyone’s ear. “Be good, stop
fighting –A storm will come and blow you away.
This was Winds cue to let out a mighty blow……The
people talked about the flood, the hurricanes,
the cyclones and the earthquakes. This
frightened them to the point they stopped
fighting and started helping one another. After
a few days Wind was able to slow down and they
got ready for the trip home. Geronimo was sad to
leave but hoped maybe he could come back only
for a quieter time and for some fun. Wind wanted
to come with him.
