Mummy, did friends reach Little Red Riding Hood today?
-Not yet. They will reach in five minutes after I will finish washing dishes.
-Could they reach quicker if you would put them in dishwasher?
-Puffy, patience.
-I will wait.
.
| Our friends went all day long until reached “Forest Memorial Hospital”
-Mummy. Didn’t you tell that Little Red Riding Hood worked in the Animals Farm?
-Ah, yes. Hmm.. Well.. You see, wolf get his foot dislocated and needed treatment.
-How he succeeded to do it?
-He was going through the forest and did not see that family of hedgehogs was playing football against family of snails. And the ball went out from the field and under his legs. The wolf stumbled on it, fell, and dislocated his hand.
-Mummy!
-What, darling?
-You said that he dislocated his foot.
-Yes.
-But now you said that he dislocated his hand.
-Ah. Well, it is because he dislocated both.
-It’s impossible.
-Why, Puffy?
-Because I strained only my foot.
-You mean last week? When you too didn’t look where you were going?
-Mummy, don’t begin again. I explained you that I looked on birds.
-There is no reason to continue walking when you look on birds.
-But I was hungry and wanted to come home quickly.
-So you were lucky. You strained only foot. The wolf was not. He dislocated hand and foot. And it ached very much and he began to sob.
-To sob? The wolf? Mummy, are we speaking about the same wolf that swallowed the grandmother?
-Puffy, try to eat only vegetables and fruits and you too would sob and weep and cry.
-Mummy, so what happened in the hospital?
| Well, our friends came to the hospital and went to look for Emergency.
| They found it quickly, because it was the only place with so many road signs prohibiting stopping before the entrance.
| And it was the only place with so many cars on the road leading to the entrance and on grass around it.
| They entered and came towards the counter, behind which they saw the giraffe-nurse.
| -What happened? She asked.
| -Here, the wolf dislocated his foot and his hand.
| -Good that he dislocated only his?
| -What do you mean?
| -If he would dislocate somebody other’s foot, I would need to call the police.
| -Well, it is very interesting, but can you help him?
| -No.
| -Why?
| -I don’t know
| -Stop being clever with me. Why cannot you help him?
| -Because I do not know.
| -Ah. Wait. If you do not know, why are you here then?
| -Because I am Director’s daughter.
| -Look here, darling (the dragon couldn’t stay quiet), don’t lie to us. I personally know that the Director is Elephant. How could giraffe be his daughter?
| -Very simply, you idiot. If his wife is giraffe, there child could be giraffe. Or elephant.
| -At least you are nor giraffe-elephant with long neck and huge ears.
| Everybody but giraffe laughed. She looked on them seriously and then said:
| -Come tomorrow. The nurse who knows what to do will be here only tomorrow.
| -And what do you propose us to do until then?
| -What’s about some sleeping?
| -Do you have any hotel here? (King’s question was in very businesslike tone)
| -No. But I have a car in the parking lot. I permit you to sleep there.
| -What car dear giraffe?
| -A Ford van.
| -Well thanks. We will gladly use your hospitability.
| And they went to the parking lot. There they found the van and opened it.
| Dragon entered first. But his tail stayed outside and nobody else could enter.
| Everybody had to pull him by his tail until he unplugged from the van door.
| They decided that the dragon and the white horse would sleep outside and everybody else entered the van.
| The wolf lay in the rear row, king took the row before him. The first row was for the prince and Dan had to take sits near the wheel. He had long legs and the right entered into the wheel all the time. So once in a while, when Dan turned in his “bed” and his leg touched the horn, the “Beep” would wake them. Everybody would “shhh” on Dan and go to sleep.
| That is why it is understandable that in the morning everybody was tired and grumpy.
| But the white horse brought them all coffee and after that they went to sit in emergency hall to wait for the nurse who knew what to do.

-Mummy.

-Mummy! Are you sleeping?
Puffy Stood up, took the book and put it on the shelf, went to bring mother’s blanket and covered her.
Then she lay on her side and looked at mother’s sleeping face: “Poor mummy. She is so tired”.
She kissed mother’s cheek and closed her eyes.
