Before the witch had appeared, people used to gather in groups of four or five never caring too much who was giving warm fuzzies to whom. After the coming of the witch, people began to pair off and to reserve all their warm fuzzies for each other exclusively. If ever one of the two persons forgot himself and gave a warm fuzzy to someone else, he would immediately feel guilty about it because he knew that his partner would probably resent the loss of the warm fuzzy. People who could not find a generous partner had to buy their warm fuzzies and had to work long hours to earn the money.
Probably. The silly ending suggests that the author is big on 60's Free Love stuff. I can't disagree in principle, but I don't still use the word "hip" for it, either :-)
