Beaver Dam


There was once a tale, a tale about Beavers and Woodpeckers fighting each other to claim a rare type of wood called Black Poplar. Beavers wanted the wood to build Dams. The Woodpeckers on the other hand wanted the wood to create more jobs for their kind so that they can employ more Woodpeckers to peck on wood for a living. Even though the Woodpeckers were a nuisance, the Beavers fought them off by using the wood to their advantage by making weapons such as Bows, Catapults and even wooden planes. The story was so bizarre that no one in their right mind believed it.

One day a group of stupid Lumberjacks picked up on the story and were hell bent on seeking for the wood so that they can make houses, carts and book shelves. Jack the Lumberjack, The leader of the Lumberjacks, travelled into the woods with his men to find the Black Poplar tree. As days went by the Lumberjacks finally find the location of the Black Poplar tree but all they saw was a tree stump and a trail of chewed off bark leading to a nearby Dam.  

As they followed the trail they found the Dam but it was overrun by the same Beavers that won the war against the Woodpeckers. As they looked around the Dam they find out that the Beavers had already used the Black Poplar to block the Dam. As angry as Jack the Lumberjack was, he took a deep breath and came up with a plan to claim the wood from the Beavers. His plan of action was to talk to the Woodpeckers that were involved in the legendary war.

They looked all over the woods, covering every square inch, to find the Woodpeckers but the Lumberjacks had no luck. It wasn’t until Chains the Chainsaw Wielder decided to randomly cut down trees when they saw a wood pecker on a nearby branch.

Peck the Woodpecker, Leader of the Woodpeckers, confronts the Lumberjacks to question them why they are terrorising their homeland. Jack the Lumberjack apologises for Chains the Chainsaw Wielder’s behaviour. Peck the Woodpecker accepts his apology and wants to hear Jack the Lumberjack’s proposal. Jack the Lumberjack tells Peck the Woodpecker their proposition and accepts to join them if the lumberjacks give the Woodpeckers 50% of the Black Poplar. They accept their companionship and prepared for war.

Back at Beaver Dam the Beavers were just doing their daily routine, making sure that the Dam is well barricaded until a Beaver runs back to his homeland to warn them about an incoming war.

As the Beavers panicked, A Beaver named Barry stood up to convince the other Beavers to fight off the enemy. As the Beavers listened to Barry’s words, they all decided to come up with a plan. Their main plan of action was to use some of the bark from their Dam and make weapons out of them such as Bows, Catapults and wooden swords. The Beavers stood in their designated positions and waited for the enemy to make their entrance.

As the ground was shaking and the river vibrating, a large vehicle drove through the trees and exposed itself to the Beavers. As the Beavers gulped in fear, a large man stepped out of the large vehicle to make a deal with the Beavers. Jack the Lumberjack threatens the Beavers by saying that if the Beavers don’t give up their Dam in peace they will open fire on them. As the Beavers looked up to Barry, Barry had a tough decision to make. As the Stubborn Beaver he is, he denies Jack the Lumberjacks request and orders his fellow Beavers to take aim. Shunned by Barry’s denial, Jack the Lumberjack sounds the horn to summon his men and the Woodpeckers.

As the Beavers waited for the enemy, Barry was cautious about the enemy’s plan of attack. Barry looked far in the trees and can only see glimpses of what seems to be a queue of rafts. As the Beavers waited they finally see the Lumberjacks rowing on rafts with axes in hand. The Beavers open fire and the Lumberjacks are out of reach to attack the Beavers.

The Beavers dominated the first wave of the enemies and prepare for the next battle. The second Battle was fiercer this time around due to the Woodpeckers assisting the Lumberjacks by pecking the Beavers. By shooting down the Woodpeckers, the Beavers were able to fight off the remaining Lumberjacks. However the Beavers were one Beaver down as he was too injured to continue fighting. The Medics carry the Beaver to safety and Barry asks another Beaver to take his place. As each battle grew fiercer, Barry decides to bring out the big guns. Barry orders the Beavers to open the big wooden gate to unleash their secret weapon. As the Beavers step back from the open door, a loud roar bellows across the woods. As the enemy pause their attack out of concern, a large foot steps out of the gate. As the mysterious figure makes it way out of the darkness, Jack the Lumberjack shines a light to reveal its true form, fearing what it might be. As the light ascend from the feet, Jack the Lumberjack soon realised that this huge hairy creature was in deed Jack the Lumberjack’s greatest fear, Big Foot.         

As Big Foot was blinded by light, he went into a sudden rage and started destroying anything that crossed him. As he wreaked havoc, The Lumberjacks and the Woodpeckers retreated to safety. As the stupid monster he is, Big Foot ran off into the woods so that he can live on his own. Apart from the occasional misleading photos, no one saw him again. 

As the enemy was wounded by Big Foot’s fierce attack. Jack the Lumber and Peck the Woodpecker had no other choice but to go all out. As the remaining crew made their way towards sudden defeat, Peck the Woodpecker flew away out of fear but Jack the Lumberjack was determined to win the war. Jack the Lumberjack had nothing to lose so he got into the biggest boat he could find and went to battle head on. Out of pity, Barry commanded his fellow Beavers to stand down. As Jack the Lumberjack neared the Dam, he readied his axe and started chopping. Jack the Lumberjack gave it his all but the only impact he left was a scratch. As he cried over the fact that he had lost, Barry makes his way to the battlefield to see Jack the Lumberjack. Barry stood in Jack the Lumberjacks field of view and speaks to him. Barry said that if Jack the Lumberjack steers clear of Beaver Dam, Barry will give him 50% of the Black Poplar. As Jack the Lumberjack Smiled upon Barry’s face, He shook his furry little hand and called it a deal. Jack the Lumberjack leaves as a happy man and the Beavers wave good bye and get back to their daily duties.


The End.
