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 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:

Squirrels:

Nutsy
Sutsy
Futsy
Klutsy


Cats:

Rainbow
Posie


Elephant the Elephant
Swingy the monkey
Flappy the bat.
Fingers the spider
Ant.
Floppity hopity bunny
Deedee and Neil and Hunter

And from the next door forest:

Mountain Lion
Bear

And the Cat whose house appears and disappears.

Most of the stories center around crazy messy disasters, with the funniest one to date being the visit to the fireworks, olive oil, flour, honey and candy store.
