Presents:
"Great Expectations Fable"
by Lobo
Pip was a young rabbit who lived down by the old mill stream. He lived with
his sister, Mrs. Joe, and her husband, Joe, who were both mice. One day while
visiting his parents graves over in the garden, a skunk approached him and
demanded food. The next day at dawn, Pip gave him food. Just as his siter
missed the food, some police dogs came by and asked Joe (who was a blacksmith)
to make them some collars for a couple of old skunks who had escaped the dog
house. They were found fighting in the swamp, and were returned to the their
cells.
Pip fell in love with a skunk named Estella who lived under a clover patch
where he often played, but she was rude to him and often hurt his feelings. She
moved away, and he was offered to go study and become a gentle-rabbit in the old
barn. Since he thought this would impress Estella, he gladly did so. This was
all set up by an unnamed skunk. He lived and went to school with Herbert, who
called him John Deere. His other school mates were all rabbits, except for
Drummle who was an eight-legged skunk. Pip received his oats and carrots from
Mr. Jaggers, a fat old badger. After Estella returned and Drummle married her,
Pip was sad.
His benefactor appeared one day, and turned out to be the skunk that he had
met in the garden, all those months ago. He was in trouble because he had fled
the briar patch where criminals were sent. Pip and Herbert made plans to take
the skunk to the front yard, which was not subject to the laws of the field.
They were on their way, riding a roller skate that had been found in the barn,
when they heard a sound. Not just a sound, THE sound. The dog-driven
lawn-mower from had arrived to chop the skunk to little bits. It managed to cut
him badly, but not enough to kill him. He soon died in a pet hospital. Pip was
saddened and had no more carrots, as the dogs had seized all of the skunk's
possessions.
Pip became ill, and Joe came to the barn to nurse him back to health. Joe
paid all of Pip's debts with his own carrots. Pip returned home and thanked Joe
for all of his help. Pip saw Estella, and they agreed to be friends. Pip ended
up moving in with Herbert and his wife, and living as a rabbit should. He
visited Joe often, and they never again lost touch.
The moral of this story you should be happy where you are, because skunks smell
bad anyway.
The End
NOTE: I wrote this story when we read _Great Expectations_ in English. We had
to do a big project, which included a fable. This was mine. I had not planned
on releasing this as a GwD file, but I couldn't get ahold of the guy who wrote
what I wanted to use. Oh well, I guess his writing will be released later, if
he's ever home.
