[LCC] The Tale of Lennox Munro (Part 3)

I am sure that members of the Lands of Classic Castle (LCC) know the lenfel Sir Caelan Munro and his adventures. It is less known that he also has 4 older brothers, who are even more talented and capable than he is. Or at least they think so.

 

Special thanks go to my son Benő, who generously lent me some Duplo bricks used as the background.

Part1: Sir Caelan's less than stellar older brother, Lennox Munro is the second son of 5 and his special skill is... incompetence. Lennox always thought of himself as an alchemist: he conducted numerous, yet so far unsuccessful experiments in his basement like the transmutation of iron into gold (disintegrated into a rusty cloud) or the development of the elixir of life (turned out to be an excellent rat poison). The failures made him even more dedicated and, against all odds, he actually discovered something: a colorless, odorless, lighter than air gas; a noble gas obviously, as he is nobility. One could say that his favorite frog (let's emphasize the lenfel stereotypes), King Ribbit played a great role in the process: he was chasing a fly, jumped on the tank and got accidentally inflated.

 

"Mwuahhahahaa! We will make a fortune with that, Ribbit! I have a cunning plan!!!"

 

Part2: Several hours later... Lennox constructed a basket and tied king Ribbit to it. "That is a beauty! Let's make a test flight immediately, what could possibly go wrong?"

 

Part3: The frog-propelled-basket-case-thingy, as he named it, worked like a charm. The view was spectacular, he could see the whole manor and the surroundings. "I'm the king of the wooooorld!", he yelled but soon enough he learnt the hard way that his invention had a serious vulnerability issue. A rather hungry white stork started to circle around the frog and seconds later the aviation term bird strike became a whole new meaning...
