Once there was a fine carpenter named Freddy Fungus, and he could build a home using any material. But Freddy was helpless when it came to feeding himself, because he couldn't cook. Then along came chef Alice Algae, who could whip up fabulous food right out of thin air. But alas, Alice needed a home. When Freddy and Alice met they took an immediate lichen to each other. And although their marriage was sometimes on the rocks, they lived symbiotically ever after. - Jonathan D'Andries (jonathan)
