's message, "A female sand colored hare, with brown paws and ears strides in, a thick scroll in a paw" on 01:13:42 12/13/03 Sat
The red sandstone house, Redwall Abbey, stood tall in the distance. A young fox, abandoned by mother and father alike, started out for it.
"I beginnen a news lifee noow." the fox cub, named, Preskonet spoke with a hint of Northern accent. "Eveen though I's be teeny, noo need fer takin me charnces out in va opeen. I say too reeskee." trodding along at an easy lope, Preskonet, a white fox, went twards the Abbey of Redwall with a stick, some edible rassberrys, mushrooms, and some fresh stream water in a canteen he had found.
"Hmmmm, me bue smock is gettin' derty. Mabee de goot bestees cud geeve me a new un. Oh, an' an' an' mabee I get a bed of meown! Ohhhhhh! It wud be ve must wunnerfulest ting in th' werd!"
When night fell, it found Preskonet still lopeing twards the sandstone building. Presisting, Preskonet was lean for three seasons.
"Ohhh, an' an' mabee th'ey ave a baggerrer muvver! At wud be wunner full! Id ave a mummy! Oh, I've 'eard zay ave a fwaver arboote! Id ave a fwaver!" laying down on some dead leaves he had piled up, Preskonet ate some mushrooms and stream water with rasberrys in it. He thought that was the best drink ever!
At the Abbey, a restless adult otter, accually, Skipper of Otters, decided to take a stroll out in the woodlands. Taking a haversack of some scones, a mushroom and gravy paisty, elderbery coridal, and a slice of heavy fruitcake for dawn, set off in the direction of Preskonet, not knowing it.
As dawn broke, Skipper almost trod on Preskonet. Seening him just in time, Skipper laid out a cloth beside the sleeping bundle, and got out his travel breakfast.
Awaking, Preskonet saw Skipper, and nearly jumped into an oak behind him.
"It's ok, mate! I'm Skipper of Otters, from Redall Abbey. Would ye loike sum brekkist?" Skipper comferted.
"Shure Skipper of h'Otters. I'm Preskonet. I was 'edin th' way uv 'Edall h'Abbey. I has 'eard they ave a fwaver, an' muver badgerr, an' an'..." Preskonet paused, disbelief plastered all over his thin white face, "Do dey welly ave dere own beds?"
Skipper laughd good naturedly. "Eavens ta bestsey mate! Yes we do!"
Jumping up, Preskonet pranced about chanting, "I gunna get a muvver, a fwaver, meee owwwwn bbeeeeddd! I gunna get a muvver, a fwaver, meee owwwn bbeeeddd!"
Sitting Preskonet down, Skipper had to keep from crying, "Aye, little un. A father, a mother, an' yer own bed! I'd give me rudder ta' make sure!"
"Wook, Skipper! A, a, a, a, swun wise! I've seened those before! Dey pwetty, wach!"
Surly as Preskonet had spoken, came dawns break. Over the East green never ending hills, pearl pink showed on the underbellies of clouds, as golden shafts of sunlight hit the hills to make a color like a glowing green. All around the sun, was orange, pearl pink, and, gold. It was so pretty, it took Skipper's breath away. Never, ever, had he ever taken the time to watch dawns break. Sure, he had, but, not with much interest. Now, it was like, watching the gates to a rainbow open.
"Woooowww! Never ave I watched it like that mate! It's splendor was a lost upon me this mornin. Every other day, it would look like, like, red, an' orange, an' pink!"
"Yeah, but, I's allus taked the time to wach th' sun risers. It was allus pwetty. Pweter than anyfick I's ever set me eyes pon!" commented the eaqualy impressed Preskonet.
"Well, comun, mate. Eat up, an' well get back to the Abbey before lunch." Skipper said dryly, not wanting the sunrise to end.
The ravonously hungry Preskonet went at the food with will. Emptying the elderbery coridal, eating the heavy fruit cake, and drinking the rest of his stream water with berrys.
"Ow, Skip, that the goodestest brekkist I've evva ad! Thankee!" thanked Preskonet humbly.
Making for Redwall Abbey, Preskonet kept up his chant that make Skipper want to cry, not believing his parents would abandon him. "I gunna get a muvver, a fwaver, meee owwwnnn beeeedd! I gunna get a muvver, a fwaver, meee owwwnn beeddd!"
Little did they know, that it would be after lunch, that they would get to Redwall Abbey, for... RANSOM
