The Free Spirit and the Menahuni

This was a speech given at toastmasters. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

No doppelgangers in this speech. From the beginning of time, the free spirit has been known far and wide as a challenger of rules. One day she’d had it. No more blindly following the rules. Rule maker dished out another rule and free spirit said no way. Free spirit decided to only follow rules that made sense. Rest of the rules a guideline or suggestion.
One day the free spirit was in the land of paradise. Trade winds, beautiful blue ocean, bright sun, warm beach. She vowed never to leave. Frolicked with sea creatures.
The Rule maker became alarmed and told her the Menahuni would take your spirit if you played with sea creatures at night. Free spirit responsible for saying “rules are meant to be broken.” At midnight, the Menahuni snuck up to free spirit in the water. She flitted out of his grasp. The Menahuni was getting frustrated. They had to get out the big guns.
She does the Ooga Booga dance.
Menahuni dark magic made her feel sleepy and waves crashing over her head. Menehune were dancing on her wrist and she prayed to the rule-maker to save her. The Rule Maker sent his minions to wreak havoc on them. Did his dark magic in reverse and she could feel magic going away. She vowed she would not follow the rules again, until next time.
