The poor Jolly skunk......

The poor little skunk....

Jack used to tell stories to his daughter Jo in the evenings & 4 Saturdays naps....
Every story was a product of his head. Each story was a variation of the basic tale....
Every story had a small creature usually named Jolly. It could b a Jolly fish, Jolly squirrel or a Jolly chipmunk.
In every story Jolly went 2 the wise owl &the owl would send Jolly 2 the wizard....
Today's story was about Jolly skunk. It was a new animal. He started the story.." Once upon a time, in the deep dark woods, there was a tiny little creature of the name of Jolly skunk."
He smelled so bad that the other little creatures would not play with him. They would run away. Jolly skunk would stand there all alone. 2 little round tears would fall from his eyes....
Little Jo could already guess what would b the story line next. She asked " won't he see the owl"? Jack continued.
There lived a big wise owl in the tip top of the tree....Jolly skunk told him his pathetic tale. The wise owl advised him 2 go 2 the wizard.....
At last, Jolly skunk came to a little white house. A little old man came out...He had a long white beard & a pointed blue hat...Jolly skunk told the wizard how all the little animals ran away from him...The wizard made him smell like roses bcoz he loved it....
All other little animals gathered around him. Now he smelled so good..they played games & laughed all afternoon.....
When he went to back to his home. ..his mother asked him what that 'awful smell' was.. Jolly replied that he himself smelled like roses... the wizard made him smell like that....She told Jolly that they were going right back to "that very awful wizard"....but Jolly cried that he smelled so bad, b4 that all other little animals ran away...
The mother said that she didn't care 4 that. Jolly skunk used 2 smell the way a little skunk shud have smelled....
They went 2 the wizard & he made him smell very bad again...
Jo didn't like the end of the story. ..poor little Jolly skunk was made to smell bad again...sha wanted her father to make a little change in the story. .she wanted her father Jack to tell her that the wizard took " the magic wand & hit that mommy"....
She insisted on main that change in the story........

__THE END____
