The Great Cheese Roll of 2019

Event 7: A Triumph of Unlikely Proportions

It was supposed to be a simple event: the annual Cheese Roll would take place in the Great Hall of the Unlikely Heroes, with each member bringing their favorite cheese to roll down the giant hill. But things got out of hand.

First, the hall's cat, Mr. Jenkins, got loose and chased after the cheese, causing a 4-alarm cat-astrophe. Then, the hall's sprinkler system malfunctioned, flooding the entire hall with a tidal wave of water.

Despite the chaos, the members of the Guild of Unlikely Heroes persevered, and the cheese roll continued. In the end, the winning team, "The Gouda Crew", emerged victorious, rolling their wheel of cheddar 3 inches further than anyone else.

As a token of appreciation, the Guild presented the Gouda Crew with a commemorative "I Gouda" trophy, which they proudly display on their mantle.
