X-mas 20 days away

This very night the piglet liberation operation almost went totally wrong. As the Garden Gnome Guide and his combat group was liberating the piglet Igritj Larionov from a transport of piglets they were intersected by the Police Anti-Terrorist Specialist Animal Liberator Activist Protection Squad (PATALAP). But thanks to that the Garden Gnome Guide is an eager student of major strategists as Sunzi, Sunbin, Wei Liaozi and Zhuge Liang, he managed to lead the group out of this dilemma and make it possible for the terrified Larionov to escape (the piglet has nothing whatsoever to do with the Russian hockey-player with the same name to do, sorry for any inconvinience on your behalf Igor).

The Garden Gnome Guide remembered what Sunzi wrote back in 500 BC or so: "Keep your friends close and your enimies even closer." This showed to be a splendid tactical disposition and the water-canons of the PATALAP affected themselves the most...

Or as the Planet's only artificial dwarf, Ambjoern Svinhufvud so nicely formulated it: " Those who dig a hole, often fall in it themselves..." Not that it was one of his best, but it seemed right at the time...

Note: Many people think that the Gnome outfit with a ridiculously red hat is inconvinient in combat situations. But in this situation the Garden Gnome also used the red hat as Musashi Miamoto used it in the fight with Sasaki Kojiro, in the beginning of the 17th century, on an island outside Osaka. Where Musashi used his red bandana to make Sasaki believe that he had cut the head off Musashi, then he lowered his guard and Musashi crushed his head with his wooden sword. In the current situation the PATALAP put all their attention towards the red dots they saw in the very chaotic situation, and this made them inflict defeat on themselves.
