Zwoggle let the young boy into the house, he was still carrying the ladder along with the flowers. "Hi Zlata, glad to see you are ok." said the young boy. "Do you have a name?" asked Meadow. "Hi,I am Pippin & I just came to see if Zlata was ok." he replied. Meaow turned to Zwoggle, "Zwoggle why did you not tell Pippin to leave the ladders outside?" Zwoggle just gave one of his vacant expressions & told Meadow he didn't really think. "Are you going to explain Zlata, how you met Pippin? Meadow asked. Zlata sat down & started to tell them of the beautiful day that she & Mr. Buck went for a walk in the sunshine. The sky was a beautiful yellow & the sun was so warm. As they walked they came across a strange looking but very pretty house, shaped like a mushroom it even had a little chimney on the roof. The friends walked upto the house. Zlata looked puzzled & asked Mr. Buck if he had any idea how anyone got into the little house as there didn't seem to be a door. The friends had walked round & on the other side there was a ladder. "There you go Zlata, that is how you get into this house but seeing as it isn't yours & there is no one about you carn't go inside." "But I would love to see inside this curious little mushroom house." she told Mr. Buck as she started to climb the ladder. Mr. Buck turned thought to himself that there was no stopping Zlata when she had her determined head on. So he started to look around. Zlata climbed into the little house & was so engrossed in being nosey that she didn't see the young boy, all dressed up in his black suit & bowler hat, come along & remove the ladder. The young boy saw Mr. Buck & passed the time of day for a while, telling him he had just found a lucky four leafed clover. (Not so lucky for Zlata :o)) In the house Zlata went to the window to look out at the beautiful view, she saw the young boy all dressed up carrying a ladder, it suddenly dawned on her, "OH NO he is carrying a ladder, the ladder I have just climbed up". She ran to the door & gingerly opened it. Sure enough the ladder was gone & it was a long way down. She ran back to the window, she knocked on it & shouted but no one heard her. The boy was going on his merry way & as for Mr. Buck his attention was drawn to a little mouse playing in a pile of sticks. Oh flip now what is Zlata to do?!!!! Just wanted to say Mr. Buck is fine, his wound is getting better & isn't as sore as he doesn't flinch when I clean it. Thanks for your comments on his pic. xx Thanks for all the lovely comments & favs, so, so appreciated. xxx Zlata, Pippin & mouse - Leilana
