Kevin the Squirrel King Drives Too Fast

PROMPT: cloud nine

That was a squirrels’s car, followed by a crowd of squirrels shouting —

“Who’s that? That little old woman moving into the yard? Let’s go, by bus!”

“Stop, Kevin, stop! You’re going too fast!”

The King signaled that he would stop.

“I can’t slow you down. You’re going too fast. Stop, Kevin, stop! You’re going too slow.”

A turtle came along.

“This is a turtle. He wants to go near the islands.”

“The desert is dirty,” complained the snail.

“This is what it is. This is what it is.”

“Now I can see,” said the turtle.

“Oh, no!”
