| A Short Tail Wiggly was like a giant worm only he had scales. Many giant worms like wiggly are dangerous and you never know for sure which ones are, so never, never, ever pick one up or bother them. They are snakes. Wiggly is a snake also but wiggly isn�t dangerous and he likes everyone. He is blind and so is his friend bunny. They both live together and play together. Bunny and Wiggly were out in the meadow again and bunny was nibbling with his puppet like nose wrinkling and wiggling as always and nearby wiggly his friend the snake was busy catching bugs. What is that? Exclaimed Wiggly? What? Asked bunny. I feel something moving close by said Wiggly. Bunny said I don�t know Wiggly. I don�t hear anything and you know I certainly can�t see them either. Wiggly said: I know bunny but I was just curious was all. They continued eating when all of a sudden a voice said: HI MR BUNNY in a loud squeaky voice. Bunny yelled YIKESS!!!! This scared the squeaky voice and he yelled YIKES,. This scared Wiggly when squeaky voice jumped back and fell over wiggly and he yelled YIKES. Now everyone was yelling yikes. As each one scared the other. Things finally settled down or at least they thought they had when all of a sudden it started again when squeaky voice saw Wiggly. He screamed YIKESSSSSSSSS until he fainted. He lay there never moving with Wiggly and Bunny around him. when he woke up he saw Wiggly looking at him or he thought he was because he didn�t know Wiggly was blind. He said: Please Mr snake, please don�t eat me. Wiggly said why would I eat you squeaky voice? Squeaky voice answered: because snakes eat things like me and, and, YIKES BUNNY!!!!!!!!! You�d better run quick before he eats you to. I�ll try to hold him off until you can get away. Now run, run fast before he gets you. Bunny said: Wiggly won�t eat me. We are friends. Friends said squeaky voice? Yes, me and Wiggly have been friends a long time. in fact we live together in a hole in the ground. Really? said squeaky voice. Yes said Bunny. Bunny said: who are you? And what are you? Squeaky voice said: well can�t you see? I am a mouse. Bunny said: no Mr Mouse, Wiggly nor I either one can see. We are blind. Oh, I�m sorry said mouse. I truly am. Bunny said: do you mind if I feel you since I can�t see you? Mouse said: of course not bunny. Bunny went over and ran his paw over mouse. Hmmm said Bunny. You have a very small nose, and two long teeth, and large round ears. But you aren�t a mouse. Huh? Said mouse. What do you mean? Bunny said: mice have a long skinny tail and you have no tail. So you must be a small Gerbil or a small gopher with big ears. Oh no said mouse. I am truly a mouse. Ok then said Bunny. Where is your tail? Mouse said: I was in a farmhouse one day running up an down the clock when this mean old lady came in and whacked it off with a carving knife. Oh how sad said Wiggly and Bunny. Did it hurt? Yes it hurt said mouse but I didn�t have time to worry how much it hurt because I was running for my life. I understand said Bunny. Me too said Wiggly. What do you eat mouse? asked Bunny. Perhaps you�d like to join us for dinner. I eat seeds and bugs mostly but I really like cheese. Do you have any cheese asked mouse? No we don�t mouse. But you are welcome to eat what is in the meadow here if you wish. Wiggly said: yes mouse, you are welcome to stay and eat with us and I also eat bugs but I don�t eat seeds. Fine said mouse. I believe I will join you. You may call me squeaky if you wish or mouse if you prefer. Fine said Bunny. Great said Wiggly. Hey bunny! Guess what? What? Asked bunny. Wiggly said mouse, or rather squeaky can see! I never thought of that Wiggly said Bunny. Mouse said: sure. Maybe I can help you both then. I can be your eyes, Bunny can be our ears. And what can I be? asked Wiggly feeling left out. You can be our protection Wiggly said mouse. Wow!!! Protection. I�d like that. So around the meadow they roamed. Mouse watched the sky and surrounding area,Bunny listened to the sounds and Wiggly. Well Wiggly was flexing his muscles and sharpening his fangs. Hehehe. Vision Quest � 2002 T Lovett |
