"Hmm, I'm getting low on Lembas bread. I'd better swing by Elves, Etc. before I go to my king's conference," Aragorn muttered to himself while looking at his shopping list. There were now many stores, restaurants, and malls on the seven levels of Minas Tirith. "Hey, Arwen! After my conference, I'm gonna be getting a few groceries. Is there anything you need while I'm out and about?" "Yeah, I just need you to mail this letter to the Middle Earth Animal Society," Arwen said, handing Aragorn a letter. "You know, about all the trolls in the mountains behind us? I hope they have some anti-troll repellent." "Okay, mail...letter," Aragorn said, writing it down. "Well, I'm off! I'll be back in a little bit!" "Bye!" Arwen called. Aragorn first went to the post office, then set off to Elves, Etc. "Hmm, they must have renovated the store or something," he muttered to himself when he got to Elves, Etc. "It looks different from the last time I saw it." When Aragorn went inside, he gasped at what he saw. To him, it looked like a large, silver staircase - except that it was moving! There was a huge sign next to the moving stairs that read "Elves, Etc.'s All-New ESCALATOR!" Aragorn stood gaping at the new escalator for a few minutes before moving again. He started to walk toward the "Up" escalator, and what he saw when he started going up made him gape even more. What looked to him like a huge picture frame with moving moving pictures inside had another huge sign next to it that read "Elves, Etc.'s All-New TELEVISION!" Aragorn immediately started watching the pictures on the television, showing a little bald, round-headed boy who had a black and white dog. After about half an hour of going up and down the escalators and watching TV, Aragorn made his decision. He wasn't just going to buy Lembas bread today. |
