The hat salesman who hid his wares all over town

The Atlas of Curiosities: Part 40

“You look as if you could use a hat!”

We started.  Where did the voice come from?  We turned around.

“A hat!” Said a tall, thin man.  “A hat! A hat? Nothing to fear!”

He began circling us quickly, jotting notes in a small notebook.  “Your size?” he said, craning his neck to the side, “No matter!  I’ll estimate!  I have just the hat!  The chapeau if you will.”

He ran off down the road.  Along the way he poked his head into various nooks and crannies: glancing into mailboxes, looking through bushes.  We ran after him, checking where he had checked.

“Hands off the merchandise!” he said, looking over his shoulder. In each place we looked we found some form of headgear.  A top hat, a bowler, a cap, or a beret.

Ahead of us, the man was climbing into a tree, which was just beginning to show the year’s first buds. He reached into a bird’s nest, disturbed its inhabitants.

“Pardon!” he exclaimed. “Excuse me!”

He produced a fedora out of the nest, and leapt back down onto the street.

“And here we have it,” he said with a grandiose air.  He was slightly out of breath.

He handed over he hat and held his hand out, apparently for remuneration.  When he received it, he walked off briskly, bowing to anyone he met and remarking upon their headgear.  Everyone in town, we noticed, was adorned with lovely, perfectly fitting hats.

XPressXrun Just to let you know your site looks a little bit strange in Opera on my laptop with Linux . http://excellent.groupsite.com/ - synthroid dosage

XPressXrun I need to say, as very much as I enjoyed reading what you had to express, I couldnt support but lose interest following a while. Its as should you had a good grasp on the subject matter matter, but you forgot to include your readers. Perhaps you should think about this from more than one angle. Or perhaps you shouldnt generalise so much. Its far better if you take into consideration what others may have to say rather than just going for the gut reaction for the theme. Consider adjusting your own thought procedure and giving other people who may study this the benefit of the doubt. http://excellent.groupsite.com/ - buy synthroid

Ugg boots have managed to realize this feat. It is actually also explained the term ugg is often a slang originating in Australia and that it usually means ‘ugly’.

Interesting story. When it started with that Hat thing I was a bit curious how this story is going to end. But I have to admit, the story was good enough to attract me to read it to the end.
