A Pack Of Six

A group of animals very close to a strawberry farm was spotted by a female fairy, one early evening.  She was delighted for seeing, hearing six different animals talking to each other again.

  The cat said to the leveret, "Meoww..."

  The leveret nodded while watching and listening to everybody in the group.  

  The third animal, a chimp, laughed out loud for showing his new discovery -- a big, orange-colored watermelon.

  The fourth animal, a squirrel, was amazed by the strength of the chimpanzee --  clapped and praised the chimp.

  The fifth animal, a male woodpecker, telling everyone that he'll always look for food each day for all of them.  They only need to help him get the food for them.

  The fairy noticed that the sixth animal, a chipmunk, is weeping... the other five animals noticed it too.

  The chipmunk was asked by the leveret, "Why are you crying?..."

  The chipmunk replied, "We will be scolded again.  This is the third time the chimp stole a watermelon from the same old farmer!"

(The fairy knows it's a pumpkin that was brought by the chimp this time, not a watermelon.)

Maybe the fairy cast an honesty spell on the chipmunk. :) They certainly were nice to each other, cooperative and kind. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all be as kind and honest to each other as these animals. What a delightful poem Poor chimp he is just hungry!
