Mission 65
Early one summer morning, I was bored,so I decided to go take a walk,and see if I could cause some mischif somewhere. After a while,I notised a very big dead tree which was leaning toward the gatehouse.It looked pretty normal,except for the part where it was shaking like crazy. so of course I ran over to it to see what was going on.(You know the saying,curiosity killed the cat?)
When I got there,a large group of moles had it tied up with ropes and a HUGE hole on the oppisite side of it from the gatehouse."Umm,excuse me?Sir?Hello?Mister mole?"He turned toward me"Brr,what?No need to shout,missy,oi'm not deff,hurrhurr..."
"Excuse me,sir,but,what are you all doing?You know,with the ropes and the tree..."
"Ohh,that?Well,y'see naow,missy,that thurr tree got almoast kocked over dur'in that big storm a couple 'o days ago,an' we'r tryin' t' get it clear o' the gatehouse,as you kin' see,hurr hurr..."
"Ohh...can I watch?It looks like you'r doing a great job so far.." (one of my personal philosiphies,equiping bambi eyes as your weapon is redundant,all dibbuns are naturaly endowed with them.)
He wiped some mud off his brow,chuckling at me."We only just started on it,hurr hurr,but it should be done afore lunchtoim."
"Okay,then I'll watch!I can't wait to see it crash once it's done!"I squeald as I made myself comfiterble against the gatehouse wall.
The mole walked off,still chuckling to himself.
About two hours later,I had fallen asleep and was dreaming of being attacked by a rat with a giant feather for a sword.AND it just-so-happened that as the rat was going in for the kill,the mole came over to wake me up so I woulden't miss the crash.
"YAHH!He's gonna TICKLE me to death!Help!" I dived away from him with my eyes still closed.And ran straight into the wall.
"Bo urr,missy,what you tryin' to do,finnish what that thurr tree started?"He chuckeled as he pulled me to my feet."O'I just 'ope you didden' dent th' wall,hurr hurr..."
"Uhhh...I-I don't think so..."I stammered,dizzy from my head-to-head talk with a block of sandstone,
"Oi sure 'ope you are,cuz oi know 'ow much you dibbuns hate to be fizzicked..."
"NO! I don't need any fysicking,nope,I'm just fine,heh heh..."Just the mention of the word "fizzick"was enough to bring me around compleatly.
"All roight,then,you said you wanted to see the crash,so you get to naow.It's about to topple!"Just as he said this,the tree started to fall.
"Thurr she goes!" I cried in excitment,accidenly useing molespeech.
The tree hit the ground so hard,I fell over."WOAH! THAT WAS AWSOME!" I cried,adding my exclametions to those of others who had gathered to watch.(Mostly dibbuns)
I crept over to the edge of the pit that the roots had left.It was so deep,Ma Mellus woulden't be able to see out of it,let alone five dibbuns stacked on her head. I stared at the side of the pit.There was a weird hole in the side of the pit,moastly hidden by shadows and loose dirt.I say weird because, unlike the holes from the roots of the tree,the inside seemed to be made of stone.(I'm a cat,I have night vision)
My first thought was to dive into the hole and explore,but after a moment of thought,I decided to snich a candle,a rope and a dagger in case of an emergency.(I'm not going to go into just HOW I got them,seeing as how most dibbuns have short attention spans,and this would take a while to explain,not to mention it was fairly boring.)
Anyway,after I got the stuff,there was the little matter of sneaking into the hole,but compared to avoiding beeing bathed,this was nothing.All I had to do was follow a particuly chubby mole in,then dive into the opening as soon as I was close enough.
I had been right about the tunnel being stone.The inside was big enough to make the hole I came in through an almoast unnoticeable crack in the side.The tunnel was full of hundreds of stalagtites,stalagmites and pillars,and the walls were sort of stripey looking..after a long while of walking (I think it was a whole seven minutes),I found a hole in the side of the tunnle.But as I bent over to look in it,I slipped and went shooting down a big stone slide and into what loked like it might be a gigantic cavern,way bigger than the one I came in through,but I coulden't quite tell past all those stars wizzing around my head.But after I lit my candle,I was so dazzled at all the shiney stuff in the walls that for a scecond I thought I was looking at a starry night sky.I chipped some of the shiney stuff off a wall with my dagger,and decided to see if I could get out the way I came in.Lucky me,I could.Only half of the tunnle was smooth,the other half was in rough shelves,kind of like really uneven steps.After I got out,I tied my rope around a pilar and droped the end down into the cave,so I could find it again later,and went over to another one a little bit farther in.This one led up into mossflower wood,the opening was hidden really well,right in some really tangled looking roots.I reallized that it was late enough that I was risking a bath,so Isinged astick with my candle,drew and carved DAB on the tree and scurried back through the tunnles,and I barely got back just in time for dinner.
