The Skunk and the Turtles

by Todd

 

"Hey, see those leaves over there I heard that they were the best leaves in the world"


"I know I know," someone said. "When ever you look at then a huge group of green animals come and block the way and eat them."


"That is impossible I don't believe that, I am going to get some,they look so good. What is that? Oh my, they are those huge group of those green things are coming. Ahhhhhh I'm going back to the longhouse now," said skunk.


"What"


"The huge group of those green things, you know the green ones you were telling me about."


"Well then lets just go see for ourselves."


"See see there they are over there, the green things that walk funny and slowly."


"Oh my gosh you are right they are there. Well then let's just eat them out of the way so we can get to the leaves then. If we did we would be the best living skunks in the world."


"So how in the world do you think we can do that. we don't know what kind of power they have. We don't know what they want. They might want to kill us."


"I don't know how we will get those leaves but I will end these next couple days eating those leaves. I have to get them those leaves are sacred to us."


"Face it. It is impossible we will get those leaves in the rest of our lives and you are trying for a few days."

"I GOT IT! what we will do is find some leaves near the big water and then we will just star at the leaves until the turtles come and then we put all the turtles in the big water with all those green shells and that will drowned them and all the leaves in the world will be ours."


"And what if they don't come?"


"That makes things easier than we can simply just go and get the leaves."


"It will never work in a thousand years."


"Yes it will and I am doing it are you going to help me because I am doing it."


Four days later.


"You know we have been looking for at least for days and I am sick of it."


"Look look there they are and the placement is perfect right by the big water we are going to get those leaves."


"Look they are coming the green things just stare and when I say go we go put them in the big water. OK."


"Ok."

"Go! hurry hurry we are almost done. Finally we finished lets go get those leaves now."


"Yum! These leaves are good. Thanks brother, you were right!"


"I wonder if those shells drowned them because that was the plan you know."


"Yes they must of now all the tasty leaves in the world are ours."


"Lets go get some leaves from our first spot ok."


"Ok lets go I'll get the canoe."


"Ok there are the leaves."


"Um look at that there are the things only they have some sort of green shell on them."


"I know it does look like a hard shell I wonder where they got them."


"I think when we put them in the big water with all the shells they must of got them on their backs."

" Oh know they must of you are right they did."


"Are they still powerful you think?'
"I don't know but the only way is to find out let's try to go to get the leaves, ok?"

"NO! I mean yeah lets try."


"Oh my there is some sort of circular ring around them. Run back to the canoe now!"


"Hugh Hugh Hugh Hugh Hugh I'm tired lets just go and see what they want the might want to give us the leaves, for all we know."


"NO they will kill us remember we tried to kill them."


"If they hurt us I will give you all the leaves in the rest of our life, ok deal."


"Ok deal now lets stop."


"What do you want?"


"You through us in the big water and now you must pay."


"Ha how"


"By turning into the dirt and the leaves. Also about your attempt to perish us from the earth just made us stronger.Now you will be those leaves you skunks love. You have four days on this earth, goodbye."


"I cant believe those turtles told us we cant be on this earth anymore.Brother do you just want to go now and make it quicker we won't have to suffer anymore, do you want to."


"Yes I do. Wait! come back, we would like to go now."


"Are you sure?"


"Yes."


"Ok goodbye then."


"Hey ,squirrel. See those leaves I heard they used to be guarded by turtles by now because a skunk they are free for all the animals.Do you want some squirrel?"


"Yes thank you but no thank you they smell horrible like a skunk was here lets go find some different ones."


Ever since there is one tree that still smells like a skunk and turtles have shells.
