Not only did this act<br \/>\nfoul up the air for several hours, but it also managed to summon every<br \/>\nsingle rat in Puddleby to town center. The cheese didn&#8217;t just draw<br \/>\nnormal rats, either. The powerful scent of the cheese also drew large<br \/>\nnumbers of Ratticus and Dirty Rats, which caused quite a bit of trouble<br \/>\nfor the inhabitants of Puddleby. The battle raged on for a very long<br \/>\ntime, and for several hours the only sound that could be heard in town<br \/>\nwas the squeaking of rats.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>Finally, however, after hours of prolonged battle,<br \/>\nwe were able to turn back the tide of the fearsome rats. Some good even<br \/>\ncame out of the event, as Haricot added a new item to his menu at a<br \/>\ndiscounted price: Ratticus Soup. However, after most of the rats in<br \/>\ntown had been defeated, a rather intelligent rat that went by the name<br \/>\nof &#8220;.&#8221; came to town, and followed Tigger around wherever he went.<br \/>\nTigger was only able to rid of himself of the rat when he jumped into a<br \/>\npool of water, and rid himself of the foul cheese smell. Town center<br \/>\nwas finally rid of the foul rat infestation. So next time yi&#8217;re in<br \/>\ntown, please keep in mind the moral of this story: Don&#8217;t mess with<br \/>\nHaricot&#8217;s cheese.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 349, Year 544 of the Ascendancy Today the journeyman Rincewind managed to cause quite a stir in town when he stole a rather aromatic piece of cheese from Chef Haricot, and tied it onto the tail of the unsuspecting Tigger.
