So here's my version of the handwave-y "I haven't had time to blog" blog post.
From The Storybook of Misused Words
"A Story about the Difference Between Weary
and Wary"
The goose-girl standing by the lake, trying to catch a glimpse of the Fish Prince, was wary
of the nearby huntsman holding a giant ax above his head. But the huntsman was weary. His arms were very tired from
holding the giant ax.
“My, what a big ax you have,” said the goose-girl, warily.
“All the better to. . . .” began the huntsman wearily before stopping himself. “No. Actually, a tree sprite
cursed me to carry the ax like this until people on the Internet learn the
difference between words.”
"How wearisome," said the goose-girl.
"Yes, I will beware of all such creatures in future," said the huntsmen, as he stepped into a wherry and rowed away.
Perhaps the sprite created the lake by building a weir... ;) I'd like to see more of these! :)
