Blowin' In The Wind

George In Ohio

George was walking for what felt like forever until he realized he has no idea where he is. "Sure would be nice if someone could help me. Better yet, I should figure out what this place is. If only there's a sign." He said.

Right when those words came out of his mouth, the lead guitarist finds a sign, telling him where he wound up.

Welcome to Ohio!

"Ohio? I don't recall the lads and I being here during our tours of America. But if we do it again, I wonder if this'll be one of our stops?" Said George. The sound of scattering gets his attention. "Hello? Who's back there?" George asked.

Three little animals emerge, a deer, a bunny, and a skunk. But they look scared once they get a glimpse of George. "Hey, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you." He said. "You won't?" Asked the bunny. "No, I... you talk?" Asked George. "I talk too." Said the skunk. "And me." Said the deer.

"Who are you, adorable woodland creatures?" George asked. "I'm Bambi, and these are my friends, Thumper and Flower." The deer said. "This is how I got my name." Said Thumper. He thumps his reer foot a few times. "Oh, clever." Said George. "We'll be honest, we've never spoken to a human before." Said Flower. "My mother was killed by one." Said Bambi.

A sad expression appeared on George's face. "I'm sorry, Bambi." He said. "Thank you. But what's your name?" Bambi asked. "I'm George, and I'm lost." George said. "Lost? Are you not from around here?" Flower asked. "No, I live in a working class city in the north of England called Liverpool." Said George. "Never heard of that place." Thumper said.

"What's it like over there?" Asked Flower. "All I can say is it's big. Bigger than Ohio, that's for sure." George said. "Wow!" Said Bambi. "I'm not sure if we know how to get you home, but we don't mind keeping you company until someone comes to get you." Said Thumper.

George shrugs his shoulders. "The wind took me here anyway, and that doesn't happen often." He said. "Either way, it's nice of you to offer, Thumper. I was kinda hoping he'd stick around longer anyway." Flower said. "Very nice indeed." Bambi said. "It's like my mama told me, 'If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all'. And that's the truth." Thumper said.
