Chapter 3: Anyone Seen A Crinkle Sack?
 
"So," Roger said to the ferrets.  "You want to find your magical bag again?"
 
  "Yeah," Rosie replied.  "You know where it is?"
  "Of course," Jack responded.  "But it is a dangerous quest!"
  "Danger is our specialty!" Tony replied.
  "Who said that?" Roger asked, looking around.
  "Me," Tony said, and he put his arm around the rabbit.
  "He's our brother Tony." Shiva declared.  "He's invisible."
  "How did that happen?" Jack asked.
  "He ate these special raisins," Maxie stated, showing the bunnies the sack
of treats that she had brought with her.
  "So why don't you eat another one and perhaps you will become visible
again?" Roger offered.
  "Good idea!" Cleo exclaimed.  "Do it Tony!"
  "Ok," Tony answered, and gobbled down another raisin.  "Ribbit!" He said
suddenly as he transformed.
  "He turned into a frog!" Sammi shouted.
  "Oh my," Jack said.  "This is quite odd!"
  "What the heck is with these raisins!" Rosie demanded.
  "Otter probably didn't have enough energy to make them very useful!" Shiva
provided.
  "Ribbit," Tony chimed in. "I feel all slimy!"
  "You look that way as well!" Roger added.
  "Well," Cleo offered.  "At least we can see you now!"
  "Easy for you to say," Tony said.  "Ribbit!"
  "Well, we'd better get going," Rosie stated.
  "Not so fast!!" Someone shouted at them.
  "Who is that?" The ferrets and bunnies questioned as they turned around
and saw hundreds of ugly, little, wart-faced gnomes with old, dusty, pointed
hats all around them.
  "You aren't going anywhere," One of the little people said.
  "Except into our bellies!" Another of the scoundrels remarked, which caused
the whole bunch of them to burst out laughing terribly.
