"This one?", said Rainbow.
"Yes, that one.", said Posie, "That's my favorite sweater."
"Oh no!", Rainbow exclaimed as she fell upon the sweater. This wouldn't have been so bad, if they weren't walking in their mud room, and the sweater hadn't spoolshed onto the mud.
The mud flew up and *PLOOSH* it hit Posie in the nose. Then Posie fell back and slid into Rainbow, who fell *KERPLOOSH* again onto the mud. This send a geyser of mud into the air, where it arced out of the apartment and onto the branch outside.
This wouldn't have been a big deal if swingy the monkey hadn't just jumped from a vine onto the branch, hitting it just on the mud spot.
"Oh no!", he screeched as he fell head over heels to the ground. THUD he went and then this scared a passing Elephant so badly that he elephant jumped!
Now when an elephant jumps, many things shake. And so fingers, ant and floppity hoppity bunny all fell. Fingers fell into a bowl of molasses! Ant fell onto a plate with cake on it! And do you know where the bunny landed?
Can you guess?
In the carrot field. It was very convenient. All three had very tasty lunches.
The End!

Underpants
Rainbow and Posie were always quite curious about one thing. And they had never had the chance to figure it out.
"What was it?", you ask?
"Yes, Posie,", said Elephant,"What is it that you are so curious about?"
"Well, Rainbow and I never really understood where underpants came from.", said Posie.
"You see," said Rainbow,"Posie and I, being cats, do not wear underpants. Nor do you, Elephant. Or Sea Otter, or anyone in the forest, except for Dee Dee, Neil and Hunter, and he wears Diapers!"
"Yes, I suppose that's true", said Elephant,"But then why are you curious?"
"Well, we were at the Beach and a underpants filled ship must have turned over or something."
"Really?", said Elephant,"What happened?"
"Well," said posie,"It was quite a sight to see. There were hundreds of pairs of underpants and there wer also many many people swimming."
Rainbow remembered it like it was yesterday.
"When did this happen?", asked Elephant.
"Well, yesterday", said Rainbow,"It was very strange, there were dozens upon dozens of people swimming in the ocean when the underpants came to shore. They were all covered in underpants."
"Yes!", said Posie,"There were small underpants, long underpants, spotted underpants, striped underpants, girl underpants, boy underpants, many different kinds of underpants. And all the people who were at the beach swam into them.
"Yes, it was something, there was one little kitten who managed to get all tangled up in a frilly underpant. Luckily the lifeguard was able to save her although the lifeguard came out covered in underpants.
"There were underpants everywhere."
"In the end", Rainbow said, "There were these dudes in a yellow truck which said 'underpants removal service' who came to collect the underpants.
"Well," said Elephant,"Why not call them and ask them where underpants come from?"
"That's a good idea," said Posie, who left to get her phone.
They called the number and the underpants collectors said they should go to wally's underpant factory and get a tour.
So they did.
They arrived at a building and even it was shaped like underpants. With two tall towers connected at the top with a big oval top, sort of like long underpants.
"Welcome to Wally's underpants factory, I'm wally!", said Wally.
"Thanks for hosting us, Wally", said Posie,"We met one of your friends and he said to call you if we wanted a tour."
"Indeed, let's go on the tour.
Well, the tour was fun. They learned how underpants were made, how fabric was sorted and chosen in all the colors, patterns and fabrics. They were going to the last part of the tour, the storage room. Here was an amazing sight.
As far as the eye could see , and as high as you might imagine, there were underpants. Stripey underpants, thick underpants, thin underpants, tight underpants and loose underpants.
And Elephant, well, he made a mistake. He was so surprised at the number of underpants that he jumped in surprise.
"*eeeemummm*", he said, which is his surprised noise.
When he jumped, he whammed into the forklift, and in doing so turned the forklift on 'high'.
The forklift was filled with underpants and went shooting forward until , shortly, it rammed into the wall holding the vastly huge tower of underpants.
The underpants went flying. Rainbow was covered in pink frilly underpants. Powise was covered in Boxer shorts and elephant was covered by all manner of cat patter underpants.
It was quite a sight, to see Rainbow, Posie and Elephant walk home with underpants all over them.
The End

The Great Sandwich Swap
One day, Rainbow, Posie, Elephant, Flappy and Floppity hoppity Bunny were very hungry. They decided that the answer to their problem was: Sandwiches.
They called up their local deli and each asked for a sandwich. Unfortunately, they forgot to tell them which sandwich was for whom. So...
Right as they were getting incredibly hungry. Almost, to the point where they were considering making soup from their dirty shoes,The sandwiches arrived.
Each one of them was in such a hurry that, as hungry animals will do, they grabbed a sandwich and ran back to thier private rooms.
As Bunny opened her sandwich and chomped down, she said "YUCK!" when she saw it was filled with acorns. She -hated- acorns. She loved carrots. But do you know who -loved- acorns? Elephant. But he didn't like acorns, he liked big huge sandwiches full of peanuts. But, do you know what he got?
A sandwich, a teeny weeny little sandwich that was filled, simply, filled with bugs!
"Ew!", said Elephant upon seeing the beetle covered, roach infested, moth attracting bug sandwich. "Where did my peanut sandwich go!"
Well, as you might imagine, a little teeny kitty cat, has a pretty hard time dragging an -enormous- peanut sandwich, through the forest, up the tree and into her room. Rainbow, tried to bite into the 4 foot by 4 foot by 1 foot sandwich, to no avail.
"This is the biggest sandwich ever!", she said,"And it smells like peanuts! Not Fish!"
She was right because right at that moment, a screecy, bat named flappy hollared out "Ewwwwwwwwww! I really really dislike fish!"
And at the same time, Posie said "Ewwwwwwwwwww who ordered a carrot sandwich?"
And that's when they realized, that indeed, the sandwiches had gotten switched.
So they all went back to the clearing and when they went to swap sandwiches, flying from high in trees came an enormous peanut sandwich.
*woooooosh* *plop*
It hit the ground, sending peanuts -everywhere-. As you might expect this caused the kitties and elephant and Flappy to trip and fall and -their- sandwiches went flying.
*kerplop* *kersplat* *kerplosh* they went into everything.
And that, my friends, was a huge mess.
As they cleaned up, the called the deli back up and had new sandwiches delivered. And this time, they checked them first.

The Bookshelf was a Disaster!
Posie's bookshelf was a disaster.
Normally, it was quite tidy and neat, with one shelf for soft cover books. One shelf for golden books. One shelf for special books and one shelf for magazines.
But, that was not how it was today. It was ....a.....disaster.
Not the ordinary, run of the mill disaster, oh no, it was a total disaster. First off, half the books were not even on the shelf. They were on the couch, the bed, the floor, the table and Posie was very frustrated.
She knew Rainbow was to blame. She had left that morning and everything was in tip-top ship-shape . Now, she comes home and it was a -----disaster----.
What was she to do. Well, she knew that she had to talk to Rainbow about it.
Luckily, the door opened and through it, at just that moment, came Rainbow.
"Rainbow!", said Posie.
"Yes, wow! What a disaster!"
"Yes, I wanted to speak with you about that, Rainbow.", said Posie.
"What about?", said Rainbow.
"Did you make this mess?", said Posie.
"Goodness no! This is not just a mess, it's a disaster and I'd maybe make it a little untidy, but this ....well...this is just toooo much for me."
"Well, who did it then?", said Posie.
"Well, we did let elephant have a key. Maybe we should go ask him.", said Rainbow.
At that moment, there was an enormous crash from the bathroom!
Out came Elephant! Who had just used the bathroom, and do you know what Elephant said?
"What a disaster!", said Elephant!
"What!", said Rainbow.
"What!", said Posie," We thought that maybe you had done this."
"Oh no, I just stopped by to use your bathroom", said Elephant, "and it was fine when I got into the bathroom, and now...well...now it's a disaster!"
"Yes, but....", and that is when Rainbow, with her terrific, catlike sense of hearing heard.... flllluf....which as you know is the sound of a page being turned.
"Who was that!", said Rainbow and Posie.
"Just me! Sea otter!", said sea otter.
Now, not many know this, but sea otters love to read. And they read very fast and very very messily.
"Don't worry!", said sea otter, as a book bounced against rainbows nose, "That was a good book! I'll clean up when I'm done reading!" and another book went ....*bonk* against Posie's head and then two bounced off elephants ears, then another against his trunk. It was like a crazy book reading machine, sea otter was....
Indeed, sea otter did help to clean up though. And that, is , the end...

Nutsy Goes to the Doctor
One day, Nutsy decided that he wasn't having a very good day. He had woken up and he felt terrible. Creaky. Coughy. Sleepy. He hadn't slept well at all. In fact the other squirrels had kicked him out of the bedroom into the front room so his noisiness wouldn't keep them awake.
He decided it was time to go to the Doctors. So, he caught a passing elephant (who said "Hi Nutsy!") and Elephant dropped him off at the Doctors near the hospital.
After filling out his name on a list, he waited for a little while and was called into a small room. A nurse was there and he said "Please tell me how you feel?"
Nutsy described how he felt: Awful. He described in minute detail the problems he'd been having sleeping and such. The nurse said that was a shame and the doctor would be in to see him soon.
So, Nutsy waited, reading an old magazine for kids and squirrels. If was called "Acorn" magazine. Insider it had games and puzzles and mazes and stories. It was a good magazine, and Nutsy was considering subscribing when the doctor came in.
The doctor took our her stethoscope and placed it on Nutsy's heart and asked him to breathe in deeply. He did. The doctor said, "Well, it sounds like you have a cold. Please go home and drink some chicken soup and sleep some and check yourself again. Keep sleeping and drinking a lot of fluids and you'll be right as rain before you know it."
So, he did. And he felt, in only a few days, terrific.

Elephant Learns to Juggle
One day, Elephant decided that he wanted to learn how to juggle. He only knew one person who knew how to Juggle. Do you know who that is?
That's right. Sea Otter. She is a fantastic juggler. She manages to juggle all kinds of things at once, even using her flippy, floppy tail to help out.
So Elephant set out to find Sea Otter to see if she would teach Elephant how to Juggle.
As Elephant walked along the stream, he called out "Sea otter! Sea otter! Are you there?"
And eventually, Sea Otter said "Yes, I'm here. What can I do for you Elephant?"
"Well, I need to learn how to juggle and you are the best juggler I know."
"Well, I'm pretty good, but you should meet my friend, the eggman. "
"The eggman?"
"Yes, the eggman. He can juggle eggs, big boxes of powdered sugar, honey and cats all at the same time."
"Cats!"
"Yes, he's very good at this and is a great teacher. However, he will only teach you if you loan him some cats to juggle for a day."
"Well, I guess I need to go find Rainbow and Posie.", said Elephant.
So elephant went and found Rainbow and Posie, who were at home.
"Rainbow, Posie?", said Elephant, "I have a favor to ask of you."
"What is it Elephant?"
"Well, you see, I'm interested in learning how to juggle."
"Oh no! Not the eggman! We've heard about him!"
"Yes, what do you say? Are you game."
"Well," Rainbow said with a sigh, "I guess it would be okay. Because we used to work for him , and being juggled is actually kind of fun."
"Oh, okay, let's go then.", said Elephant.
So they did, they went into town when Eggman had a juggling school.
"Welcome to my juggling school!", said Eggman. "I'm just finishing up my class."
Elephant looked over Eggman's shoulder to see a class of 5 or 6 animals juggling different things. Like eggs, glasses, christmas ornaments, porcelain dolls, and more.
"Wow! You look like you could really teach!"
"Yes, I'm the best. But I have a price......RAINBOW! POSIE! Did you come to be juggled?"
"Yes, we did, for our friend Elephant."
"Cool! Let's juggle."
Now, what's funny is not that he wanted to juggle cats. Which is not what he likes to do. He likes to juggle -with- cats. With everyone juggling. You see, cats are natural jugglers, and able to juggle from birth and they can juggle on their tails and ears and bottoms and everywhere.
So that's what they did, the juggled a lot. They juggled together, passing things back and forth between each other.
Then, elephant tried to juggle too. He hopped in between a very complicated egg, honey, candy and bowling pin juggle.
*BOOM* *CRASH* *KERPLOOSH!*
Elephant, Rainbow, Eggman and Posie were -covered- in honey, candy, powdered sugar and flour. It was a huge mess and took -forever- to clean up.
It was quite a mess, but with time, Elephant became a very good juggler.
The End.
That's right. Sea Otter. She is a fantastic juggler. She manages to juggle all kinds of things at once, even using her flippy, floppy tail to help out.

Posie Lost
One day, Rainbow was walking down the path that ran in the middle of the forest.
She was looking for her roommate, Posie. Posie had been gone all day! This made Rainbow a little worried.
First, she went to Elephants house and rang the doorbell.
"YESSSSS?", came the voice of Elephant.
"It's me, Rainbow", said Rainbow,"I'm looking for Posie, have you seen her?"
"No, I've not. Maybe you'll see her later.", said Elephant.
"Okay, thanks!", said Rainbow and she got back on the path. She soon came to sea otter's hutch.
"Sea otter? Are you there?", she said. But, there was no reply. Which was odd, Sea Otter almost never left his hutch before 2 or 3 o'clock pm.
So Rainbow walked to Nutsy's house and knocked on the door.
*knock* *knock* *knock*
"Who's there?", said Nutsy.
"Me! Rainbow.", said Rainbow, "Just wondering if you have seen Posie."
"Well, no, but have you seen Futsy, Sutsy and Klutsy?"
"Why no!", said Rainbow, "Are they lost?"
"No, probably not, but I'm, a little worried.", said Nutsy.
"Hmmm", said Rainbow, "maybe we shoud go out and look for them together?"
"Sure! That's a great idea. Let's start at the clearing."
"Good idea", said Rainbow.
So they walked to the clearing on the top of the hill. Rainbow was last and Nutsy was first. As they came over the top, Rainbow ran ahead, which, when you think about it, is a little weird. Nutsy chased after Rainbow and managed to slow her down a bit.
Nutsy made it to the top first, and then, Rainbow made it to the top.
WHERE ALL HER FRIENDS and Posie WERE WAITNG! And they all said, at once, "SURPRISE" .
It was a surprise party! And rainbow was very surprised, but, it was her birthday, so it was a very good surprise.
The End.
She was looking for her roommate, Posie. Posie had been gone all day! This made Rainbow a little worried.

Rainbow and Posie get a Haircut
One day, Rainbow and Posie woke up from a long nights sleep.
Rainbow looked at Posie.
Posie looked at Rainbow.
"Wow. We need haircuts, don't we?", said Posie.
"Yes", said Rainbow, "we most certainly do!"
So they got out of bed, went down the tree to the path at the base of the tree.
"Who should we have cut our hair?", asked Rainbow.
"Well, how about swingy?", said Posie.
"NO!", said Rainbow, " She'd make a huge mess of things, she'd make us look like -monkeys!"
"Hmm," said Posie, "Howsabout elephant?"
"Are you completely crazy?", said Rainbow,"Elephants our friend for sure, but do you want someone to weird a pair of scissors near our beautiful fur with a trunk?"
"Oh, I guess not," said Posie,"Well, how about Fingers?"
"Fingers is way too small.", said Rainbow.
"Well, if you're so smart, who do you think we should have cut our hair?"
"That's a good question", said Rainbow, who felt a little bad for shutting Posie's suggestions down. "Why don't we go about this a different way? Whose hair do we like?"
"Oh, sea otter, for sure", said Posie.
"Oh, yeah. Her hair is so beautiful and flows so nicely in the water. If our hair could flow as nicely in the air as sea otters does in the water, I'd be sooooo happy!"
"Me too.", said Posie, "Let's go and ask her who she has cut her hair!"
"Great idea, let's go!", said Rainbow.
And so they went. They went down the path to the stream and walked up the stream until they reached sea otters place.
*knock knock*
"Yes, who's there?", said Sea Otter from inside her hutch.
"It 's Rainbow and Posie!", said Rainbow and Posie.
"Oh,", sea otter said as she opened the door, "How are you?"
"Great, we have a question for you.", said Posie.
"Well Posie, what is it?"
"Who does your hair?"
"Oh, you won't believe me."
"Try me!", said Posie, "we both love your hair and want to get haircuts too!"
"Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you. I go to", sea otter paused for a moment, "in fact I have my hair done by elephant!"
"No!", said Rainbow.
"No way!", said Posie.
"Way!", said Sea Otter,"Elephants been my stylist for many many years now. She does a fantastic job. Go talk to her."
"Okay," Said Posie.
So they walked down to Elephants house and knocked on her door.
"Yes", said a deep voice from inside.
"Hi! We need haircuts.", said Rainbow.
"Well, okay.", Elephant said, opening the door,"Come on in."
They walked in and were led to a room with a haircutting chair and lots and lots of enormous scissors. They were a little frightened.
"So, who are you?", Elephant said.
"It's Rainbow and Posie!", said Posie,"You know us!"
"OH! I couldn't see you very well past all that fur. Okay hop onto the chair and we'll get started.
She began with Posie and then Rainbow and they were two of the best haircuts they had ever recived in their lives.
In the history of haircuts, these two kitty cuts would go down as the index example of the finest haircuts a cat could have.
But the story isn't over, you see, because when Rainbow hopped off the chair, she stepped onto the little lever at the base of the chair.
This lever made the chair itself POP up into the air a bit, and the towel on the back of the chair was, sadly, what elephant was standing on!
Elephant fell back, knocking over the stack of scissors!
"Oh no!", said Rainbow.
"Look out!", said Posie.
They dodged the scissors, but they were not fast enough to avoid being sprayed with shampoo.
*kerbloosh*
And Cats do -not- like being kerplooshed. They are on record as saying they do not like the post kerplooshing washing , with water, that ther must ensure. But the worst patrt was what happened when cats and an elephant were on a very slippery floor.
As you might imagine, they fell down, slid outside, down the path, into Sea Otters hutch, which, with an enormous splash, fell into the water. KERPLOOOOOSPLASH, it went, and everyone had to spend the day fixing Sea Otter's house and Elephant's hair cutting area.
The End.

Rainbow and Posie go to the Computer Store
One day Rainbow and Posie decided to learn how to use the computer.
First, they needed a computer. So.... they hopped on a bus and drove down to the small computer store in town.
It was a little place, no bigger than Rainbow and Posie's treehouse and inside was a vast array of computers, parts and big monitors.
The computers and parts were old, and new, and dusty, and clean. Some were in thier boxes, taped up, and others were sitting out on the benches and chairs.
It was very messy.
Rainbow and Posie didn't know what to think! So they called thier friend Elephant....
"Elephant?", Rainbow said into the phone.
"Yes, Posie?", replied Elephant.
"Well, I'm Rainbow!", said Rainbow.
"Oh! I'm sorry, you sounded -just- like Posie!", said Elephant.
"That must be because we are twin cats!", said Rainbow.
"But you are two different colors!", Elephant said. He was right, too, Posie was the pretty orangey color that kittens are and Rainbow was a black and white kitty.
"Well, we're still twins, born on the same day. Cats can do that, you know, have two -different- kinds of kittens!", said Rainbow.
"Well, that's really neat. Anyhow, what can I do for you, Posie...I mean Rainbow?", asked Elephant.
"Well, we're at the computer store, and we're a little confused, we sure could use an old experienced computer elephant to help us out."
"Well, I'll be right there!", he said.
A few minutes later, Rainbow and Posie heard a very loud rumbling. They poked thier little kitten heads out the front door of the shop to see, to thier surprise, a gathering cloud of dust.
It got louder!
And louder!
And dustier!
And louder!
And dustier still!
It was Elephant coming to help them...
"Do you think he knows about the big, slippery, puddle of oil in front of the store?", Rainbow asked.
"No, I don't think he does.", said Posie, "and I'm worried."
She had good reason to be worried. Elephant indeed did not see the oil. And he didn't stop in time.
So. What happens when an elephant. A full grown. Enormous. Heavy. Computer excited. Elephant. Runs, headlong, into a big, puddle of oil and tries to stop.
Do you know?
He doesn't stop. At least not the way he wanted to.
In fact, he slides, very very quickly and slipperelly into the big, messy, complicated, computer store.
BAM!
CRASH!
KABOOM!
MEOW!
MEOW!
HOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNKKKKKKK!
CRASH!
*KABLOOSH*
And that's the sound it made, when Elephant slid, quickly, into the computer store.
It was incredibly messy. And the hedgehog who ran the store was -deeply- unhappy. So much so that he decided to ask Rainbow and Posie and Elephant to help him clean up and close up for the day.
Rainbow and Posie felt terrible about the poor hedgehog and his shop, so they helped him out for weeks and weeks and once they had made up for the damage that Elephant had caused, they purchased a computer from him.
Elephant helped them learn how to use it, but that's another story.
The End.

Welcome to the Forest!
This blog exists to collect a series of children's stories that I'm writing for my daughter Frannie.
Here's the story: Since she was about 3 I've told her these made up stories about a bunch of animals in the forest, they are, roughly in order of creation:
