"How are we gonna get to Fang's lair?"  Rosie asked.
    "We can travel by treetops to the island,"  Penelope answered.
    "Good idea,"  Rosie replied.  "Let's go!"
    "Okay!"  Sammi responded.
    "Sounds good to me!"  Shiva added.  The four of them left the cozy nook
that was the opossum's home, and began their journey atop the trees,
crawling across the long limbs, which formed a bridge to the island...which
was very close, to their surprise.
    "Great!"  Rosie stated, having jumped to the ground.  "Now which way?"
    "That way!"  Penelope declared, pointing to the north.  So, they walked
on in that direction for about thirty minutes, when suddenly the ground
opened up beneath them!
    "Aahhhhhhh!!!"  They shouted as they fell some twenty feet into a pit!
    "I think I don't feel so good,"  Rosie said, and passed out from the
impact...The other three were likewise comatose from this perilous trap!
