The Smurf Impersonators/Part 3

"This one can see that Tapper would have suspicions about the Smurf called Snorty if that Smurf was really Hogatha in disguise, given how spiritually attuned he is toward anything evil being present among the Smurfs," Polaris said.

"It's one of the reasons we wished Empath would have returned home soon, Polaris," Narrator said. "Anyway, Hogatha continued to act like a normal Smurf among us, smurfing for her opportunity to strike against us in some way that we wouldn't suspect."

And as Narrator continued his story, Polaris saw in his mind Hogatha walking around the village, talking to herself. I've got to find something I can use against those rotten little Smurfs, something they wouldn't suspect came from little old me, she said quietly while looking around.

And then she saw steam coming from inside a Smurf house. She stepped inside and saw a kettle boiling in the fireplace, probably full of whatever the Smurfs may be eating. She took the cover off the pot and took a whiff of the steam coming from the boiling pot. Hmmm, not bad, but I have just the thing that would spice things up considerably, she said to herself as she reached into her hat and pulled out a small piece of root rot. She dropped it into the pot and covered it up again, watching as the bubbling froth turned black. A bit of poison in the day's soup and the Smurfs will be dropping like flies when they eat it, she said to herself, laughing and snorting as she sneaked away without anybody noticing. - A little later on, Greedy was ringing the dinner bell. "Soup's ready!" he called out "Everybody come and eat!"

All the Smurfs gathered together in the dining hall and waited eagerly for Greedy to serve the soup. "Ooooh, I'm just hungry for the day's meal," Smurfette said as she and the others sat down at the table.

"Me more than anybody, except for Greedy, of course," Nabby said.

"What can we expect from you, Nabby? You're always hungry, and one of these days that hunger is going to smurf the better of you when you smurf something that you shouldn't be smurfing," Brainy said.

"Oh Lord God Almighty, please bless the food that we are about to receive, that it may be as nourishing to our body as Your Word is to my spirit," Tapper quietly prayed. "I give you thanks and praise in the name of Your only begotten Son. Amen."

Duncan laughed. "I'd be grateful just for the meal to be always as smurfy as Greedy smurfs it, laddie."
