Day 4 - Northern lights and special rubber boots

M. Troll lived in a country where it was easy to see northern lights. However, he had never been to the North, and had only seen unusual, and quickly gone, northern lights during the Autumn 2015.
"It's Monday, let's take big decisions!" He decided to take some vacations from Thursday to the following Monday, included, to go visit the North of his country and see proper northern lights.


He was very excited at this perspective and couldn't stop himself from squeaking when his boss said "ok" for the vacations. He realized he would need gear and decided to take a trip to the shop after work.
"What an exciting week!" he thought. "First a kungfu course, then a trip to the North! I wonder how my everyday life became so exciting!"

He tried to concentrate at work, even if it was harder than hard. His colleagues waved in front of his three faces, screamed, sighed and even danced to get his attention. No need to say they weren't successful. It was his less productive day in a long time.
Finally, the time to leave the office came, and he ran straight to the best shop in town selling sport equipment. He had a nice list found on the Web and he selected everything he needed: a tent, a big backpack, a thermos for his beloved coffee, some kind of coffee maker to travel, etc.

Then came the time to choose clothes. He discovered, he who was a t-shirt and jeans kind of troll, that he loved glittery things. Loved, not liked. He even bought a glittery jumpsuit for cold weather that made the shop assistant's eyebrows reach the sky.

While looking for shoes, all of a sudden, his eyes caught the most marvelous thing he had ever seen.
The. Most. Marvelous.
The. Most. Glittery.
The. Pinkiest.

Pink glittery rubber boots.

He was surprised to find tears on each of his three heads' cheeks when he touched them. The world seemed to spin and angels started to sing. He remembered the smell of his favorite cake as a child...

Pink glittery rubber boots.
The last pair.

He ran to them, even if it felt like flying toward his destiny. When he touched them and tried them, he couldn't contain a squeak of sheer happiness.

Meanwhile, the clerk waved at this colleague to come watch this weird scene, not that unusual in this busy little shop.
"I told you we would sell all of them," he said to his colleague, proud because he was the one who had bet on the success of these boots, against all odds.

M. Troll had a real epiphany. He took a picture of him in his glittery gear and posted it on Facebook. It instantly became a buzz, but he was too pink glittery rubber boots-centered to notice it.

Will he sleep with his boots? Will he see the northern lights?
Stay tuned! :D
