Muldoone gets back to the Bridge and gets there just in time for the
arrival of the newest arrival. The wind begins to pick up again and
it blows through his fur and whiskers, delicately dancing on the soft
backside of his ears. As the flash of light subsides the unmistakable
sound of ferrety feets could be heard coming across the Bridge.
As Wilson reaches the end of the Bridge, Muldoone steps forward to offer
his nose in a greeting. "You must be Wilson, Mully says to him, I be Mr.
Muldoone, officialist Wainbow Bwidge Gweeter, weltome to da Wainbow
Bwidge."
Wilson stop, sits down, and studies the new face in front of him. He
spends several minutes just looking around, surveying the new sights.
"So dis be da Wainbow Bwidge Wilson says to Mully, I hears my mom talk
'bout it and she be sad when she talks 'bout it.
Yes my friend Muldoone gently explains to Wilson, dis be da Wainbow
Bwidge. Your time on earf be over and you wives here now 'till your
mom comes to get you."
"How wong will it be afore mom tomes to gets me Wilson wants to know,
will she bees here weal soon? I misses my mom Wilson" explained and as
he dropped his head,
Mully saw the tears begin to trickle down the furry cheeks of the new
comer. Mr. Muldoone, I misses my mom, cans you sends me back to checks
on her, she be vwerry sads bout me habing to comes here.

his new friend as the two ferrets head down the path.
