If you go down to the woods today by Jasmine
Deep, deep in the woods, lived a tribe of very peaceful people who lived their lives by hunting, fishing, playing games and not a lot else.
One day an awful noise was heard, the like of which the peaceful tribe had never come across before. They peeped out from behind the trees surrounding their village and saw great big lorries and tanks heading down the secret path. They ran back to their village and quickly built barriers around the outside to try to keep the big lorries and tanks out.
Unfortunately, one big lorry made it through and the peaceful tribe could see that the rest would soon follow. They didn't know what these strange people wanted but the lorries and tanks had the words "I'm Lovin' It" and a great big "M" on the side.
That night the villagers met to decide what to do. The lorry which had got through the barrier had stayed where it was and the men inside were joking and laughing. Suddenly, all went quiet and when the peaceful tribe looked up they saw what could only be described as a big, big clown.
"My name is Ronald!" said the clown. "These people are coming to take your land to put cows on it, to feed the cows up and then turn them into beefburgers."
The peaceful tribe couldn't really understand this but trusted the clown. He told them that he used to work for the men in the lorries and tanks but that he no longer agreed with what they were doing.
He came up with a plan. He used his phone to order in a juggernaut full of thistles (!!) The villagers worked hard to plant the thistles all over their land in the dark of night and when the sun came up the men in the tanks and lorries realised that this place would not do for keeping cows (cows don't like thistles!) and slunk away to look for somewhere else. The thistles didn't bother the peaceful tribe as they had very hard feet and kept donkeys - who like thistles you see.
Ronald became a hero overnight and often spent his holidays with the peaceful tribe.
