The Smart Fairy and the Silly Wizard

Once upon a time, in a country close close by, lived a smart fairy and a silly wizard. The smart fairy was very smart and the silly wizard was very very silly.

One day the silly wizard wanted to conjure up someone to play with. He said the magic spell, 'Sim Sa La Bim', waved his wand and in a puff of smoke, a small green bush appeared. 'That's not someone to play with!', thought the silly wizard. But then a short man with a monkey face popped up from behind the bush and said in a Texan accent 'Hi y'all, my name is George!'. The silly wizard disliked the man instantly and waved his wand again to make him go away.

Let's try another spell, thought the silly wizard. 'Sim Sa La Bam' he said while he waved his wand again. Again the bush appeared, but this time most of the population of the USA popped up from behind it, saying 'we love democracy!'.

'How does that happen', said the silly wizard to the smart fairy who had been watching and chuckling, 'Why can't I magic up someone sensible to play with?'. 'But don't you know the wizard's eleventh rule?' said the smart fairy, 'the one that says that a wizard can never conjure up anything less silly than himself?' The silly wizard grumbled a reply and went to bed.
