... Too late!
The garbage truck assistant (actually his full title was Administrative Assistant to the Self-Propelled Refuse Collection Unit First Operator, but I digress) had already retrieved the two red objects, he had already placed the two red objects on his feet, and he had already clicked their ruby red heels together, and he had already repeated the phrase "There's no place like home!" (not once, but twice), and he had already disappeared in a loud puff of smoke, leaving behind a rather deep hole where the cab had once stood ...
The cabbie's jaw dropped. "My Poor Cab", he cried, "how will I feed my family?" he wailed. Pond immediately tipped the cabbie with a crisp $10,000 bill. "Have a new Cab on Me", said Bugs Pond. The cabbie fell to his knees and begain kissing Bugs's feet. "Don't thank me, thank my benefactor" said Pond, "he's loaded".
Suddenly a large white rabbit hopped by. He was wearing a waistcoat, and was repeatedly checking his pocket watch, which was attached to his waistcoat by a long gold chain. The rabbit looked extremely worried, and was muttering various interjection-filled prhases, such as "Oh Dear!", "Oh My!", and "Oh No! I'm terribly late!!", and even "Oh!!! What a Dumb Bunny I am for not watching the time more closely!"
Upon seeing the large hole the rabit's changed mood swung significantly, and as declared with glee "I'm saved, a new short cut!! If I hurry, I will be on time after all"! And with that he disappeared down the hole.
"There was something peculiar about that rabbit!" exclaimed Pond, "I suggest we follow him"... |
