CARTOON HEROES
You get some rocks and I’ll pour the concrete and we’ll make a man-made pond in Grandma’s backyard where Grandpa cannot see us.
Unwind the garden hose and I’ll pour the water and we’ll make a dark lagoon where swans are not allowed and there’s only room for ugly creatures.
It’s nearly done.
But, wait. Something’s missing.
You know what we need?
Skip out. Ditch the babysitter
and ride on to the Russian River.
Come on. Fake out every forest ranger
and steal one tiny baby turtle.
He’s all we got.
You get some fresh worms and I’ll toss a salad out of some leaves and twigs ‘cause Turtle could get hungry on the long trip back to Grandma’s.
Wrap him in your jacket and I’ll grab the bikes. The road’s much to rough to ride with Turtle in your pocket. I guess we’ll have to hike the way back.
We’re nearly there.
By now they should have missed us.
You know what they need.
Skip out. Ditch the babysitter
and ride on to the Russian River.
Come on. Fake out every forest ranger
and steal one tiny baby turtle.
He’s all we got.
There you go,
crying like a little baby.
We’re almost home.
We’re not lost –
I know a shortcut.
Now here we are,
standing on the porch
in moonlight.
Looks like they’ve gone
out for supper.
No one’s here to meet
our new friend.
Skip out. Ditch the babysitter
and ride on to the Russian River.
Come on. Fake out every forest ranger
and steal one tiny baby turtle.
He’s all we got.
