//------------------------------// // 2. Flier trouble // Story: My Little Punnies // by AstralMouse //------------------------------// Roseluck, Lily Valley, and Daisy hum happily as they nail up fliers advertising their flower stand. "Hey, what the-" Daisy says as a nail and flier both fall to the ground. "What is it, Daisy?" Lily asks. "When I nailed it to this beam, the nail just, like, popped out!" Daisy complains. She tries again, hammering the nail through the hole in the paper and deep into the wood. This time, her two friends are there to see the nail slowly slide out and fall to the grass. "Okay, what gives?" Roseluck asks nopony in particular. An old stallion sitting in a rocking chair nearby notices their struggle. "Whatcha got there, young fillies?" he asks. "We're, like, trying to advertise our flower stand," Daisy says. "Oh, sorry. You can't post those fliers there," he says. "What? But there are others hanging here," she says with a little impatient hoof stomp. "Yeah, but that there is made of yew," he replies. "Me?" she asks. "No," he says with a short laugh. "Yew is a type of wood. You can't hang those up there." "But they stayed up just fine everywhere else!" Roseluck says. "Right," he says. "But only yew can prevent florist fliers."
