Mariautumn and Luggburger

MariAutumn was perched on an oak root, one of a kind. It had formed into the perfect seat this October, a comfy notch. Her pet ladybug Luggburger and she were debating their latest find. Necklace said MariAutumn. Luggbuger thought it was a watch. How could it be a watch? MariAutumn argued. It does not tell time. Ladybug did not know, but something told her it was. A pine cone came along and tried to interject, but he was a mime. Turn it over, Luggburger told MariAutumn, and there it was! A face with numbers, and two hands attached to the middle. They were delighted; now deciding to keep it forever and a day. Don’t play with it! Truly! Don’t fiddle, dawdle or diddle! Along came a human though who promptly took it away.
