The Forest Animals

Once she got far away from the tea party, Minnie looked back and said, "Well, I've had enough nonsense! I'm going home! Straight home!"

As she began walking away, she said, "That python. Who cares where he's going anyway? Why, if it hadn't been for him, I..."

She stopped talking when she noticed a gray sign that had "Black Forest" written on it in black letters. "Black Forest. Hmm, curious. I don't remember this." she said, as she turned away from the sign, unaware of two bluebirds, who were wearing glasses, staring at her.

"Now, let me see."

One of the bluebirds jumped on Minnie's face, and she gasped when she spotted a fieldmouse, who was holding a mirror in its paw. When she looked into it, The fieldmouse looked like it was wearing glasses because of the bluebird.

She placed the bluebird on the tree branch next to the fieldmouse as she said, "Uh, no, no, please. No more nonsense."

She walked past them, and came up to a log as she said, "Now, if I came this way. I should go back this way!"

She climbed over the log and accidently stepped on a duck as she said, "Quack!"

"Oh, I beg your pardon!" Minnie said, as the duck and her five ducklings went over to a lake. The ducklings jumped in the water and paddled away as the duck said, "Quack, quack, quack, quack!"

She then jumped in the water, and followed her ducklings.

The ripples in the water woke up a frog, who was holding a drum, and a toad, who was holding a pair of cymbals, and they jumped on waterlilies as they played the drum and cymbals.

As Minnie stepped on the stepping stones, she said, "Goodness. When I get home, I shall write a book about this place. If I...If I ever do get home."

Then she looked over a log to see Mr. Mole, his wife, and their twins taking a shower in a small waterfall.

"Oh, umm, excuse me!" she said, as she got Mr. Mole, his wife, and their twins' attention, "Um, could one of you tell me..."

She was interrupted when Mr. Mole, his wife, and their twins screeched as they ran away, climbed up a tree, sat on a tree branch above Minnie, and glared down at her. She chuckled nervously as she said, "Uh. Haha. Never mind."

As she wandered around through the forest, she said, "Oh dear. It's getting dreadfully dark. And nothing looks familiar."

She looked to her left to see a possum, who was digging through the dirt with her claws. "I shall certainly be glad to get out of..."

She tried to say something else, but she bumped into a stork, who was holding a bird cage with two doves inside it. The stork opened the cage door, and the doves ran out. The stork chased after them, and it it them in the cage as the doves landed inside the bird cage.

Then Friend Owl, who was holding an accordion, woke up and hooted. As it flew down at Minnie, she ducked, and then Friend Owl flew away, still playing the accordion.

"It would be so nice if something would make more sense for a change." Minnie said.

Moments later, she came across Bambi and Faline nailing gray signs to a tree with hammers, and Thumper and Flower wrote words on each sign in black letters with pencils.

As they walked away, Minnie looked at the signs, and said, "Don't step on Thumper's sisters. Thumper's sisters?"

Suddenly, Thumper's sisters popped out of the ground, circled around Minnie, and got together to form an arrow as they hopped. Minnie looked ahead to see Thumper's sisters pointing at a path as she said, "Oh! A path!"

As she ran down the path, a vision of Mrs. Brisby appeared in sepia. Minnie said, "Oh, thank goodness. Why, I just knew I'd find one sooner or later! Oh. If I hurry back, I might even be home in time for dinner with my parents Basil and Mrs. Brisby and my brothers Mowgli and Pudge!" Then a vision of Figaro also appeared in sepia as she said, Oh, won't Figaro be happy to see me! Oh, I just can't wait till I...Oh!"

She stopped when she saw The Great Prince of the Forest sweeping the path away with a broom in his mouth. He stopped, walked behind Minnie, and continued to sweep the path.
