A Day With Gloria

Once upon a time in a beautiful forest lived a little mouse, he was a sweet little mouse, and a very funny little mouse...but he was also a curious little mouse...it was a nice warm day and he went to the river to meet his good friend Gloria the chicken, he adored Gloria, she was always clucking a song, and shaking her behind in a funny little chicken dance, she had tried many times to teach Haxley how to dance, but the poor mouse was a hopeless dancer, he had two left feet, and no butt to shake the way she did..."Come on Haxley, watch me, dance like this..." Right, left, right...whackkkk...little Haxley tripped over his own feet and smack down in the dirt....Ahhh Ha hA Haaaa Gloria was crying she was laughing so hard...Ha haha....The little mouse, still laying in the dirt was laughing too. He knew he was clumsy..but he loved trying despite his lack of rhythm..HeHe Heee...he giggled...Gloria was bent over from laughter...and Haxley leaped on her & tickled her to make her laugh even harder..."Stop, Stop....omg I’m gonna pee!" said Gloria..."Payback!!" Haxley teased...after rolling on the forest floor, laughing, tickling, and crying with joy. They lay on the ground as they caught their breathe...they looked up at the umbrella of beautiful leaves that sway in the breeze, and felt the warm sun on their face..."Let’s go take a swim in the river" Haxley said..."Yes great idea, I’m sooo dirty & sweaty!"..."Me too!" said Haxley as he ran towards the river..."Race you!" he looked back at Gloria who was still sitting on the ground..."Ohhh you brat!"...Gloria got up and wobbled over to the river. They splashed, and played and had a wonderful time...the afternoon sun was dipping lower in the sky, and was cooling the air, Haxley and Gloria came out of the water..."Brrrrrr" the little mouse explained..."I’m freeeeeezing, and I didn’t bring a towel!" Gloria smiled at the little mouse, "No worries cutie!" She shook her feathers, and puffed them out, and shook some more & was instantly dry..."Wowwww!" Haxley was amazed, then she softly rubbed her wing all over Haxley and dried him up like a sponge...Rub, Rub, Rub..."Sooo much better, Thanks Gloria, you’re the bestest!".."Anything for a friend, you must be getting hungry, why don’t you come over I make the best Corn chowder soup!" "MmmMmm my favorite, can I help you make it, I want to learn how" Haxley asked..."Ohhhh dear if you cook as good as you dance, and if you’re as clumsy as you seem, you will burn my house down!" She teased...He stuck his tongue out at her, and said.."Ohhhh don’t make me tickle you again Gloria!!" They both laughed, and walked back to her place, arm in arm....Gloria cooked up a delicious Corn Chowder, and Haxley stirred the pot as it cooked...they enjoyed a wonderful dinner together, and talked about what adventures they thought tomorrow could bring....
