When crazy, ferret-loving friends get together, you can never be quite
sure of what will happen.  What is written below is a Ferret Tale.  This
tale was started by me and passed from person to person until we had,
what we think, is a wonderful story!
 
I am going to post the first parts of the tale here, and if you guys are
interested, I'll post more sections of the story over the coming days -
but only if you're interested!!  If we don't get any comments, we'll just
figure you all fell asleep - so if you like what you read and want to
read more, you'd better let us know!!!
 
Judy Cooke Begins the Story:
 
On the edge of a dark forest lived a little white girl.  Her name was
Snowflake.  She had big black eyes, a small pink nose and wonderfully
pointy little ears that twitched this way and that.
 
Snowflake's mother told her to never, ever enter the dark forest, for
deep in the forest lived a woman so evil, so wicked, that the mere
mention of her name made grown hoomans quake in their boots.  And what
this vile, evil woman did to ferrets was even more terrifying!
 
Snowflake spent the long summer days frolicking in the field, chasing
butterflies and digging for toads.  She was a happy little ferret and
life was good.  Little did she know all that was about to change.  One
day, out of the woods came a.........
 
The story was handed to Lynda Galloway, who wrote:
 
 ....smiling pretty Lil black kitty.  She purred and played with
Snowflake and even let her eat her food.
 
The black kitty had a nice purr and put her ears up but....oh my,
when you looked in her eyes!  They were gold Lil slits and didn't
look friendly at all!  Snowflake was such a happy lil ferret she
didn't think something so nice to her would lead her astray.
 
The black kitty said..."Let's go over here and catch butterflies,
Snowflake!"
 
Snowflake said..."I don't know black kitty without a name if we should go
so near the forest."
 
The black kitty said..."It is a WONDERFUL forest, it has yucky ponds and
toads and grasshoppers and even a RAISIN TREE!  Come with me pretty
little white thing!"
 
Snowflake liked her new friend and followed her up to the forest.....
 
To be continued.
