Iverson's Vision Quest, Chapter 7 (See "Iverson's Vision Quest - The story so far" for the beginning of the story. Just click on the picture of Iverson to the right of this post.) Note that Iverson is a French-speaking fairy.
In spite of Melvin's misery, Iverson's cherub face piqued his interest. Surely there was a way to cash in on this creature.
So he told Tim he wanted to help. Melvin's gold tooth gleamed in the sunlight as he spoke. "I'll take exceptional care of the little fellow. What a remarkable creature! What does he eat?"
"Coca Cola et chocolate," squeaked Iverson.
"He doesn't seem to need much food. I've been feeding him bird seed, but you could try hamster pellets or maybe live crickets or mealy worms," said Tim.
He handed the cage to Melvvin who stuffed it into the back seat of his Lincoln Townhouse.
"Fois gras, (goose pate) Puille Fuisse, crepes Suzettes," chirped Iverson, fondly remembering better times.
"Oh, said Melvin, "You speak French. . . . Francais?"
"Merci, a sacre nom de Dieu, ('thank you, sacred name of God')" squeaked Iverson.
Melvin purchased a French-English dictionary and pushed it into Iverson's cage, and the fairy began working with it immediately, eager for the power of being able to communicate. "Cheeseburger, French fries, and a milkshake," were Iverson's first words in English.
While Iverson taught himself to speak English (He was a fast learner.), Melvin worked on his plan for glory, wealth, and revenge on the Donald.
