Pingback: Laura and Samuel | Return2.Me
Edgar the platypus crawled out of his burrow to meet his friend Matilda. She is a wombat. Together they enjoy eating fish sandwiches and weaving household furniture at the bottom of Lake Keenakawonk.
Last Tuesday as they were tidying up Matilda noticed a baby snail on the kitchen counter. It was crying deep, mournful sobs.
“What is wrong little one?” asked Matilda.
“Monsieur Chapeau has captured my parents and plans to eat them.”
What happens next?
This was no ordinary penguin. His habitat was in danger of disappearing and food was scarce. Predators were a daily concern. Quite normal for any arctic bird.
Laurance was a micro-penguin. Scarcely taller than a pebble, his
species was in constant danger from just about everything. Not that anyone else would or did notice him.
After a sneeze from a walrus propelled Laurance into a wild-life photographer’s left nostril, things got interesting.
What happens next?
Maginique hit the ground with a
thud. Her knees buckled but she
kept all four hooves underneath her.
She was not accustomed to having
a rider on her back and today she
had two.
When they were airborne, the three
travellers crossed over the border
without a sound. But now they
needed to go their own way. After
dividing up the food, they made a
plan to meet at the slanted stone
in one week.
What happens next?
“My mittens are green. What color
are your mittens?” Laura asked
Samuel.
“I don’t have any mittens.” he
replied.
“Why not? Don’t you have any
hands?”
“No” said Samuel.
Laura had not noticed before. She
put down her bear and moved
closer to Samuel.
What happens next?
As Laura looked closer, she noticed that Samuel had fins. He swims in water.
At that moment, Laura decided to take her mittens off of her paws. And then, she ate him!
