Story One Thousand and Sixteen Ends Friday, August 28

The Tax Beast set out early one morning down the road from Meridell, his sack slung over one shoulder and a spring in his heavy step. He was in a good mood, because today was a collecting day.

All around him the Meridell farmers were already hard at work in their fields, digging up turnips and tending their crops the honest way. The Tax Beast never understood the point of that. Far off in Brightvale, he knew, the scholars were busy studying their books late into the night, hoping to earn a little fame and honour for themselves. He didn't understand that either. Why work so hard for your money when it was so much easier to simply knock on someone's door and take theirs? That had always seemed to him the smartest way to live.

The funny thing was, people seemed to like him for it. During the Festival of Fears, young Yurbles would dress up in green fur and little horns to look just like him, giggling as they went door to door. Some Neopians called him a pest. Some even called him a parasite, no better than the worst petpetpet. The Tax Beast didn't mind. He was big, he was powerful, and he always got paid.

"Somebody big today," he said to himself, giving his empty sack a shake. "Somebody with plenty to spare."

The first name that came to mind was Fyora, the former Faerie Queen, tucked away in her Hidden Tower. She was sure to have the most of anyone. But after a moment's thought, the Tax Beast shook his head and changed his mind.

No. Not the Hidden Tower. He turned instead toward the humble little stall of the Soup Faerie, and grinned to himself as he thought...

“New Soup Kitchen donations, need tax!” resounded wisely in his head. Laughing to himself, he trotted towards Neopia Central, where many shopkeepers quickly closed their doors and shut their curtains, appearing to be absent. But today, the Tax Beast was not coming for them, and a collective sigh of relief was let out. Instead, the Tax Beast made a beeline towards the smell of soup coming from a little cauldron-shaped house in the marketplace. He breathed in, and knocked on the door.

The Soup Faerie opened up the door and kindly welcomed the Tax Beast in: “Come in, poor creature, come in, I will provide.” Never before had the Tax Beast felt such warmth, both from the Soup Faerie as well as from the soup on the stove. He accepted her invitation and carefully stepped inside. Before he could talk, the Soup Faerie assessed her guest: “You seem down on your luck. That sack of yours is completely empty. Be sure to eat up well, a guy like you needs a good meal.”

Before the Tax Beast could even say a word, he was handed a bowl of soup. Not wanting to be rude, he dove in immediately. The Soup Faerie sat down with him. “You must be very hungry. How did you end up in this situation? How else can I help you?” The Tax Beast slurped up the rest of his soup and answered…

"I haven't eaten much in days. Sometimes I get a bit too caught up in taking money from people that I forget to eat," the large beast said honestly. "I heard lots of Neopians have recently been giving you neopoints and I-, well I came here to collect taxes from you."

"But they're donations," the Soup Faerie said a little taken aback.

"It's still income. I collect tax on all income, no matter how it's earned," the Tax Beast explained, feeling slightly awkward. Usually he enjoyed delivering this news to unsuspecting folk, but she had been so kind to him.

"That's true. I've been accepting donations because of the price inflations of some key ingredients in my soups. It doesn't help that there's been a steady increase of Neopians who are in need of food," the Soup Faerie explained. "You have no idea how hard it is for some people to make a living."

The Tax Beast froze in thought. Not only was he feeling conflicted about taking some of her money, but he was afraid to admit that he had recently been wondering why some Neopians worked as hard as they did. It was something he could never quite understand. He looked down at his fierce paws and observed how much taller he was to most Neopians. Perhaps not everyone could just take things like he could.

Suddenly a thought hit him.

"I think I know how else you can help me..."
