1011 - MAYOR

This is my 9-year-old Granddaughter's version:

The mayor of Chipmunk Hollow was holding A veRy important meeting. Somebody was complaining about the forage chipmunks not bringing enough food back, thanks to the mountain lion that is now roaming the middle of the forest. I was the manager of the 'Forest Feeder' shop. The mayor was very pious. One of the forage chipmunks caught a glimpse of the razor sharp teeth of the mountain lion.

some clearly quite agitated

This is my version:

Brother Logon hAd joined the "VeRy Pious Order of Sampson" at aged 18. The main distinguishing aspect of the Order was that a razor should never be used on the hair. Logon was a studious monk and he especially enjoyed studying local politics. The monastery was located in a large urban area that had just decided to adjust it's governance structure and, to everyone's surprise (and the Abbot's dismay), Brother Logon put himself forward as a candidate for the new role of Mayor. He was quite the centre of attention at canvassing meetings, what with his waist-length hair and olive-green habit. The other candidates struggled to be noticed. The media took great interest in him, especially as he was very knowledgeable and seemed to make sense in his replies. He won the contest by a landslide! It was a strange sight seeing the Mayoral Limousine pull up at the monastery in the mornings and present Brother Logan with his seal of office and relevant robes for the day's occasion before squeezing through the narrow gates leaving the monastery. The abbot glowed with pride and fumed in equal measure as he watched!
