Huffle Falcon Raises Little Boy Bree
Can you save my baby? The mama elephant queried.
Huffle Falcon was surprised and a tiny bit worried.
I can try, he said, but he looks almost too heavy for me.
Please, she asked. He’s my baby, my little Boy Bree.
So Huffle Falcon carried mama’s pride and joy to safety.
That was not enough, he ended up raising little Boy Bree.
They formed such a bond, he never wanted to give him back.
Mama escaped her captors and hunted them to their shack.
It’s time to come home, she told her son, who shook his head.
I will not return because Huffle Falcon is my daddy, he said.
He had been with him two years, six hours and a day.
He was not about to leave him or be coaxed away.
Huffle Falcon had returned to the shack and was glad.
He loved being Little Boy Bree’s loved up Dad.
Let’s raise him together, he told the Elephant Mom.
That is just what they did, from that second on…..
