Wee Stories

The Wee Fisherman

Once upon a time, there was a wee fisherman who lived on a small island in the Hebrides. He was a kind and gentle soul, and he loved nothing more than to go out to sea and fish.

One day, the wee fisherman was out fishing when he saw a pod of dolphins swimming towards him. The dolphins were playful and friendly, and they swam around the fisherman's boat for hours.

The wee fisherman was so happy to see the dolphins that he forgot all about fishing. He just sat there and watched them play, and he felt a sense of peace and contentment that he had never felt before.

As the sun began to set, the dolphins swam away, and the wee fisherman knew that he would never forget them. He had learned that there was more to life than just fishing, and that sometimes the best things in life are the ones that we don't expect.

The Wee Witch

Once upon a time, there was a wee witch who lived in a small cottage on the Isle of Skye. She was a wise and powerful witch, and she used her magic to help the people of the island.

One day, the wee witch was walking through the forest when she came across a group of children who were being bullied by some older boys. The wee witch knew that she had to do something, so she cast a spell on the bullies and turned them into frogs.

The children were so grateful to the wee witch that they told all their friends about what she had done. Soon, everyone on the island knew about the wee witch and her magic.

The wee witch continued to use her magic to help the people of the island, and she lived a long and happy life.

The Wee Laird

Once upon a time, there was a wee laird who lived in a grand castle on the Isle of Mull. He was a wealthy and powerful laird, but he was also a very lonely man.

One day, the wee laird was walking through his castle when he heard a beautiful voice singing. He followed the voice to a small room, and there he saw a young woman sitting by the window.

The wee laird was immediately smitten with the young woman, and he asked her to marry him. The young woman agreed, and they were married in a grand ceremony.

The wee laird and his new wife lived happily ever after, and they had many children. The wee laird was no longer lonely, and he had found true love in the most unexpected place.
