A little guy named Gus came screeching over the bridge today. I told him to hold his horses. But he said he was eager to see his brothers Sam and Brownie. Lo and behold, Sam and Brownie already knew he was coming and showed up just in time. Sam and Brownie told me that Gus was one of the Utah kids and explained that he wanted to feel secure knowing they were there. Gus shook his head up and down really fast to agree and told me that it was a rough start there in Utah. But nice people rescued him. And someone even nicer adopted him. Pretty neat! So together, we showed Gus all over the place so he'd feel right at home. He loved the ferretone place. The ferretone place is like a big pool with fountains that spurt up ferretone. There are even ferretone waterfalls there. Gus said that is his favorite treat in the whole world (and now in heaven!). After he quenched his thirst we moved onto the snack bar. He ate yogis, chicken lickens, plus all sorts of things that are no-no's on earth. Finally his belly was all filled up and huge. I thought, thank goodness so we could move on! And then the real fun began. I showed him ladder world. I told him to make sure his wings were on good and tight for when he climbed. With a great big smirk, he pulled his halo down low over his brow and comenced to climbing. Up, up, and away he went into the clouds. He plum wore out Brownie and Sam who eventually laid on the clouds twirling their halos waiting for him to finish. I had to fly up there to tell him something because he wouldn't get down. I told him to press his head to the clouds and to be very, very quiet. So he did. He heard a faint, but very distant voice that said, "Good boy, Gus". [Posted in FML issue 4696]
