Dear Abbey 🍭🍬🍫❓

There once was an Abbey with beautiful gardens. But the building was in dire need of repairs. The monks living at the Abbey could do the work to make the necessary repairs, however the funds were scarce and they could not afford materials.

One brother suggested they sell flowers from the garden to raise the money needed. This seemed like a good idea so the monks began gathering and arranging the flowers.

They start selling their flowers from a table outside the Abby. The monks meet with great success and are raising plenty of money for the Abbey.

Across town a family flower shop starts feeling the pinch from the competition. After asking the monks nicely to stop selling their flowers they decide to take more, influential methods, and hired a local tough named Hugh. After a single visit from Hugh the monks decided they had enough money and closed their flower business, proving once and for that Hugh and only Hugh can prevent florist friars.
