Rats sometimes link their tails together until they get stuck. Over time more rats join in until they form a tangled mass of Rats. Being unable to move, they eventually starve to death. This phenomenon is know as a ‘king Rat’.
Yet no one knows why they do it
Lovely, quick and jovial, the old man clearly has no issue dealing with orcs. I love the causal “ah, yes, That” when referring to a literal dragon.
The format really doesn’t take away from the story at all

Reply to comment by printedNightmares in [WP] you are a simple farmer, tending to your crops. One day an orc knocks on your door demanding food. Instead you teach them how to cultivate crops. Next spring, you hear a knock on your door by Cerparis
Nice, a Orcish agricultural Revolution. Poor farmer though, his fate is uncertain. I like the formatting, makes it easy to read
