Jubo and his Pet Mice

Jubo and his Pet Mice

Some people like dogs. Some like cats. But Jubo liked mice. And in a world of pets that people can own mice are as good as any other I suppose.

Jubo trained his mice to drag his slippers over to him when he got home.
And he trained his mice to use a mouse litter box.
And he eventually trained his mice to not eat holes in his walls or eat his sandwiches when he put them down to answer the phone.

But Jubo grew tired of training his mice for simple things. What will Jubo train his mice to do..>>

The Earthworms Holiday

The Earthworms Holiday

It was a rainy day and so Gary and Ester decided it was a perfect time to head to the surface for holiday. Well, that and their tunnels were flooding something awful. The life of an earthworm is full of digging and flooding and more digging I suppose.

Of course Gary took the lead. Not because men always lead but because he was stronger than Ester. After all he had been using a Wormflex for 3 months now while she had used her spare money to sign up for art lessons.

So Gary had 40 pack abs and big shoulders. And Ester was kind of lumpy but could draw like a banshee..

They were almost at the surface when they heard the footsteps above them. Loud footsteps. Kind of like those of a Robin. A Robin that was looking for worms to eat. Will the Robin eat them..>>

Why Rabbits Have Fluffy Tails and Long Ears

When the animals were being created the Rabbits were near the front of the line.

But Rabbits like carrots and all those behind them knew this.

So first the Fox offered them a carrot it they could change places.
And the Rabbits thought it would be ok. Because there would be plenty of fine looking tails and ears left if they moved back one place in line and ate their carrot.

And then the Horses offered them a carrot. Not a terribly good carrot because horses like carrots as well, but a slightly used carrot with wilted leaves.

The Rabbits looked at the carrot and decided it would be ok so they traded places with the Horses. And while they waited in line they ate the carrot. What’s this got to do with tails and ears? Find out..>>

Strange Encounters

Strange Encounters

After months of practicing Kelly was ready to give up. Nothing she did on the guitar sounded like anything.

Her friends didn’t want to listen to her any more. They even told her not to play when they were around. In a nice way of course. They were her friends after all.

And her parents were beginning to wonder why they had ever agreed to buy her a guitar in the first place. Or let her take lessons. Especially since they didn’t seem to be helping.

As she sat on her front step staring at the guitar she began to cry.

“Why can’t I do this? Why is everything so hard?” Will Kelly find a tissue to wipe her tears? Will a bear hug her?…>>
