Stolen Scarecrow Is a Fake Made of Bunlahund Wheat

After the cherished scarecrow of an elderly Ba Herm was taken one night, certainly not by crows, he hired the lead detective of the local police to find and retrieve his missing scarecrow which had been an idol and role model for all the town’s Duff Herms since the Yib-olition, a sign of laziness and its positive effects on the community. While it was unpopular with the Popular Party which currently has a measly 6% of the vote across Hermistan (and is often called the “Un Popular Party”) because it, the scarecrow, encouraged laziness and social digression, most of the locals admired its stillness and peaceful nature.

The detective, Jimdough Buzzerbum, followed his leads to the moderately sized village of Wagontown where he rushed to the scene of a wagon crash and discovered that the famed scarecrow was hidden within the carnage. Upon further investigation and a taste test by a thief that broke in during the night, it was revealed that this was not the true scarecrow as it was stuffed with Bunlahund wheat and not Hermatan Wheat. A grand search ensued and its true location remains unknown. Some Herms are even daring to enter the violent nation of Stanistan to seek the lost scarecrow.

  Herm In Walizburg Invents Flapjack Dispenser In Walizburg, the region that has already made such notable inventions as the double salt shaker which could dispense two different kinds of salt by just pressing one button, a young Herm craftsman and his Eri Herm apprentices invented a creation that may go down in history as a Duff Herm’s flappyjakiest toy: the Flapjack dispenser! This new innovation has already won awards from many different Herm science institutes for its clever use of mechanics and levers. Currently, two hundred copies have been made, and a hundred and eighty-two have been sold for 4 Herm Dollars and 15 cents to a throng of lucky Herms who happened to walk past the store by chance when they were going out to do their daily chores in the city and couldn’t resist buying their Duff Herms this wonderful late Christmas present.  After all the publicity from the various local newspapers, the new invention attracted many rich Herms who were eager to buy the orig...

  HDHG Suspected of Illicit Activity When one Herm, a resident of Pozny, received a letter that he had acquired a vacant plot near the center of town, he did not know whether to be frightened or happy. He ignored the letter, dismissing it as spam, but more and more just kept coming. Stubbornly, he continued to ignore the letters, until, around a week after the letters had started coming, he received a letter from the Mayor’s Office saying that the lot was poorly kept and evidence suggested it belonged to a hoarder, and, that unless he took care of his property, the City Council was going to fine him for neglect of property. Confused, the Herm went to the clerk of the Mayor’s Office and asked if they had, in fact, sent that letter. To his surprise, according to the City’s records, he had owned the property for eleven years now. Understandably, a lot left untended for eleven years would definitely show signs of neglect. Upon finding himself in the center of the City by chance the ...
