THE CHRONICLES OF MR. WOLF CHAPTER 2
CHAPTER 2
Let’s see, we left Mr. Wolf and the pony at the cliff’s edge looking at the little purple thing hanging by a tree root. The pony and Mr. Wolf got down on their knees to see better and stuck their heads further out and looked down. “Help me, Tony” whispered the little purple thing. Dirt started to fall and the tree root dropped about a foot.
Mr. Wolf himself was speechless. WHAT IS THAT? He had never seen anything like it in his life. Soft purple hair covered a fat, little rotund body. Its head, also round, had pointed ears and eyes that were like big round shiny malt balls. Its tail was short and fat like a stump but not purple. It was blue! But what really amazed him were the wings. This thing had not one set but two sets of wings that were blue just like the tail. Man, but what a mess. The wings must have been wrecked in the fall from the sky. One had a hole in it, one was bent and the other two bigger top ones were just plain balled up. Mr. Wolf looked up at the sky and down again and he still couldn’t figure out where the pony and the purple thing had come from.
The tree root slipped again and the little purple thing starting screaming like a banshee. “GET ME OUT OF HERE, I CAN’T FLY.” “This is just great Tony, I am going to get you for this. It’s your fault I’m hanging here and if I fall I will end up like a squished tomato on the rocks down there.” “Oh but, who knows, maybe I will miss the rocks and land in the river and drown. Yep, then you really will be in trouble with my parents. They told you to look after me”. “Man oh man, are you ever in trouble”.
“OK, OK, stop Tootsie” said Tony. He turned to Mr. Wolf and said, “Will you help us - what should I do?” Mr. Wolf looked at the pony and down at the purple thing. He thought a minute, then turned around and lowered his tail over the edge. “Grab my tail.” Tootsie reached up with her tiny little paw but Mr. Wolf’s tail was not long enough. He turned to Tony and said, “You put your tail over the edge and see if Tootsie can reach it.” “HELP, HELP” the little purple thing screamed as the root slid down again. Tony put his butt over the edge of the cliff and Tootsie couldn’t reach his tail either.
Mr. Wolf turned to Tony and said, “I am going to hold on to your tail and lower myself down - that should work.” So Tony sat down and waited for Mr. Wolf to climb down his tail. It smarted to have Mr. Wolf hanging on his tail but they had to save his friend. Tootsie reached up and grabbed Mr. Wolf’s tail. Mr. Wolf yelled, “Go pony.” Tony stood up and took off in a cloud of dust. Mr. Wolf and Tootsie came flying over the edge, swinging into the air. “STOP, STOP” yelled Mr. Wolf. The pony put on the brakes and Mr. Wolf and Tootsie bounced off Tony’s butt and landed in a heap at his feet.
