Story of Myyoshi

[Yoshi Masta {Cu‼}]

<sub>Welcome. I see you're human; your kind doesn't come here
often... Nonetheless I see that you are interested in our kind. No,
you are not dreaming--and yes, we speak your language, so sit
down, you've ventured far, and I am happy to tell you our tales.

Have you heard the stories of "Mario"? Yes; it is all true--except
for the Mario and his brother saving "Miss Princess Apricot" from
the oversized Koopa. I can see you are confused. You are
thinking "But that's the whole story". Wrong. If you've taken the
time to do the research, there were many other things. Basically
the enemies and items. And us. If it weren't for "Those Little
Green Dinosaurs"--as you labelled us--there wouldn't have been
a happy ending. But as I said, there was no Mario. I bet you that
half of our species wouldn't even want to help a plumber dressed
in red.

They say we lived on "Yoshi Island", and we did, but no longer.
We migrated here, to Myyoshi for now unknown reasons. Yes,
Myyoshi, like "My Yoshi" but not. The first settlers named it that;
after they claimed it to show that it was theirs. Why not "Yoshi's
Territory", I do not know. Our kind is shrouded with secrets. As
you've probably seen so far; this area is magical. It is crowded
with much exotic plants and land masses; not to mention how
abundant our prey is.

Oh? You want to learn more about us as a species? Alright then.
Contrary to the original belief, we are not just green; but
colorful--as portrayeed in your story "Yoshi's Island" I do believe.
We are in fact omnivorous, but do not fear. Our diet consists of
usually just Koopa, Shyguy, berries and whatever we can get our
hands on. Otherwise, our types change our individual
characteristics. Our town--despite some of our unpleasant
residents--is quite orderly, kind and compassionate. Once again,
yes, I did mention that most wouldn't be loyal, but that's towards
humankind. With the lack of visitors in your species, a majority of
our society has grown uncomfortable around people. We are
extremely compassionate most of the time, as there are many
younger Yoshi around. We have heard stories of your people, and
found many similarites. Well, we have jobs, and there are some
makeshift schools. We have ranks and currency and families.
There's illness and houses, not to mention our general
personality. We like to explore and discover, and are very curious.

So go along now, tell your friends about us. But keep Myyoshi's
location secret. I bid you luck on your journey back across the
seas, and thank you for listening to my story.</sub>
