Tales of Amy's Garden

 

 

 

Hazel: Did you find anything on your flight?

Kehaar:Nothing matey! Nuthing you would care about Hazel.

Hazel:Did you see the old warren? How are they doing over there.

Kehaar: Many rabbits. Too many rabbits. All of them fighting. And wombats. Well one wombat in the middle of everything. Every discussion. Every fight. Nothing but the wombat and her droppings.

Holly: I am not surprised. It was always an evil place but now the garden must be haunted.

Bigwig: What do you mean?

Holly: [shows Bigwig the scar on his shoulder] You see this? They did it to me. It is the bite of the wombat. You think it is not a big deal but it infects you and you react to it and then....well then you become insipid.

Bigwig: What do you mean? How do you become insipid?

Holly:You tart arguing with everyone. You make every discussion about you. You pit one rabbit against another until they are just fighting and arguing all night long. It is boring and stupid. And most of all it makes you an insipid scold.

Bigwig: Some of them must not be affected.

Holly: There is no one who is not affected. Even if the wombat does not bite you ....well you have to listen to the cries and whispers of those who have been infected. It is not pretty.

Sliver: I am glad we left there.

Holly: Me too. It is too nasty.

Hazel: Thank the great Lord El-ahrairah that we are free of that place and the lady who owns the garden. I hear she is even drunker and nastier than ever. She opens her door naked and shows all her wrinkles to everyone while she weeps that you are attacking her.  And something even worse.

Holly:What can be worse.

Hazel: Her son is a weasel and is marrying another weasel.

Holly:What's wrong with that?

Hazel: It's a boy weasel. Two boys getting married. And if you don't like it....well she will bite you.

Holly: I guess I got off easy. I only got bit by the wombat.
