About 150 years ago (376 Gnome Years), a witch named Nora Blacktree from Oakbury, CT began sewing sweaters for little dead squirrels she was finding in her garden, most of which were being killed off by the stench of an overgrown tomato that sit in the corner. The witch had cast a spell on the tomato while planting it but being at the frail age of 163 (via another spell), she completely forgot and just let it grow and grow until it drew in all the squirrels in the neighborhood and subsequently killed them. Feeling bad for what she had done, she felt as if sewing them sweaters would help, but clearly, it did not.
