Big Sloth never finished eating the front door made from lollipops and Teddy remained trapped in the witch's cage.

Average Sloth stepped up, and approached the house made from muffins.
"I'll eat this whole house," said Average Sloth.
"Just you watch!"
Average Sloth pulled off a corner of the front door of the house made from muffins.
She gulped it down smiling, and went back for more.
   And more.
      And more.
After a while, Average Sloth started to look a little queasy.
She grew greener...
   ...and greener.
A woodcutter walked into the clearing.
"What's this bush doing here?" he asked.
"I'm not a bush, I'm a sloth!" said Average Sloth.
"It talks!" exclaimed the woodcutter.
"Those talking bushes are the worst kind.
I'd better take it away before somebody gets hurt."
"No! Wait!" cried Average Sloth, as the woodcutter picked her up.
But the woodcutter ignored her cries and carried the sloth away under his arm.
