The Tree and The Pea

---

On a fine still day, in the woods, I heard the most interesting argument. It goes like this.

"Because that's how we've always done it!", said the Tree to the Pea.

"My mother always told me that in life you need to follow the rules!" Pete said, standing taller.

"Well, my mother always said", Cherry's branches rising high overhead, "it's best if you broke the rules!"

Cherry and Pete sat looking at each other. None wanting to budge. Many times in both their lives they had found compromise always a bit of a bore.

High noon came. The birds all stopped. Pete just wiggled around. Cherry, getting miffed, shook her branches about not ready to settle down.

Low and behold, while the standstill was growing, along came...
No, not a spider! but a kumquat, Karry by name.
Rolling along, not a care in the world, stopping under the cherry tree.
Karry wiggled in closer, peering around, ready to take juicy gossip home.

Cherry and Pete, glancing together, frowned at nosy Karry.
They gave a wink, mouths forming tiny smiles, eyes dancing full of mischief.

SMASH!

Cherry and Pete giggled. Proceeding to eat the kumquat.

Moral of the story?
Sometimes, in life, it's best to leave mate's fight.
The history of what you see in front of you is always an unknown.

Hi Everyone!!

This is a story I wrote today and it turned into so much fun I wanted to share it with you!

First, I have to say that The Isle of Write is the best place there is!!

I stopped there today on a whim and asked poor @Geke for some advice. She stopped everything she was doing and did just that!! For that alone, I hold her in the highest regard! Thank You @Geke!!!

From there I went to Spore's and had a ton of fun making monsters to go along with my story. I hope you enjoy them!!

Thank You all for taking the time to watch and read my new story!!

Much love
Snook
