Trouble Story

Item #5106

(May, 1990) Trouble is the name of this little Woodspirit. If you recall Meredith Willson’s The Music Man, you know that “Trouble starts with T, which rhymes with P, and that stands for pool.” When this ball rolled towards his hiding spot, he thought it was looking for Trouble. Now, he’s not only between  a rock and a hard place, but he’s also behind the eight ball. If you believe in Woodspirits, you’ll see a little face in his beard, showing us that we can smile even when in Trouble. If this statue doesn’t look like Trouble to you, it’s because nobody knows the Trouble I’ve seen!
