Once upon a time in a slug colony a caterpillar, named Katerpillar, came along and started helping the slugs build their nest. They made a great team because Katerpillar was able to anticipate the slugs' grouchiness, laziness and lack of effort and was able to motivate them to stay on track in building their mud homes and the slugs were able to lay out the expectations clearly, which Katerpillar appreciated. Another caterpillar came along who was very lovely to look at, which was helped by her shiny lipgloss (obviously naturally created). She was quite flirtatious and loved attention from the slugs. The slugs slowed right down to a crawl because they were so busy observing the new caterpillar, which is hard to imagine because slugs are already painfully slow. The caterpillar, whose name was Catty decided to wind her body around the slugs to keep them nice and warm. The slugs really appreciated this act of kindness and stopped building the mud homes altogether. Katerpillar didn't really care because she had seen this before and was happy to be left alone and help other slugs in the community get contracts for their homes.
One day, the head slug, named Ducky, let Katerpillar know that from now on, she would be the only Katerpillar in the colony because he feared that Catty would have hurt feelings from Katerpillar and that Catty would be amazingly unproductive and predicted that Katerpillar and Catty would end up in a fight. Katerpillar was saddened and wondered why caterpillars can't just work together without all the caterpillar dynamics getting in the way. Katerpillar brought Catty to the eating trough and offered her leafy greens or whatever catepillars eat. Catty let Katerpillar know that the slugs are happier with Catty and that Katerpillar has no chance of making them happy. But Katerpillar knew that wasn't true and didn`t really care anyways but let Catty say her piece and left her at the eating trough.
Katerpillar returned to making mud houses with the slugs and ignored Catty. And one day a human little girl accidentally stepped on Catty, crushing her.
The End.
bah hah haha!!! Kat, you are a goof. No apes in the story? :P
ReplyDeleteLove it. :)
ReplyDeleteFunny, if you'd asked me, Catty moved to another slug colony before being trampled upon, and told stories about slug parties and slug makeouts that made all the other slugs uncomfortable. Even the male slugs, who continued along building their mud houses and advising other slugs as to what mud house was the best shape & size for their needs.
"It's all about value!" said the male slugs, to which Catty would reply, "Never mind value, my slug backside looks amazing in this slug miniskirt."
The End
