Confessions of a Llamaholic

Tootsie and his Quest for Toes

Tootsie and his quest for toes

Once upon a time there was a little llama called Tootsie. He really loved toes. One day he was skipping along a little path when he came across a little pink fluffy bunny rabbit who was cleaning his fluffy tail. CANDY FLOSS! He immediately thought and rushed up to the bunny and started eating the bunny's tail. The bunny squealed and kicked Tootsie in the face.

"TOES!!!!!" Tootsie screeched and started licking the bunny's toes that were still in his face.

"Oi! Gimme back my toes!!" Squeaked the bunny and with that he gave Tootsie one last kick in the face and galloped off to his cosy safe burrow. 

"Aww" said Tootsie and trooped off along the path, disappointed that he wasn't getting his share of delicious little toes. Suddenly, he run into a snail who was slowly inching his way along the path, who was traveling at about 0.000000000001 mm per hour.

"Good-day to you sir" Tootsie said politely. The snail was very very VERY old and a had a long thin white beard trailing along behind him.

"Humph" croaked the snail, and, if possible, tried to slither away from Tootsie, traveling up to an impossible speed of 0.00000000002 mm per hour.

Oh well, thought Tootsie, it's not like he had any toes to lick. He trotted down the path, the path soon leading to a small cosy pond, filled with little ducklings and little cygnets. TOES!!! He first thought but by the time he had run down to the pond and grabbed a duckling by the leg, he saw that his feet were webbed, no toes. He muttered under his breath and dropped the duckling, making him squeak like a rubber ducky when he landed onto the hard dirt. Okay, Tootsie thought, Bunny's don't trust me, snails don't even have FEET, ducklings and cygnets have webbed feet and it's not like I can lick MY toes, because I don't have any, I have hooves. So now what am I supposed to do????

He sat down on a little tree stump and raised his hoof to his face, pretending to stroke his non-existent mustache.

Suddenly a sparkly rainbow appeared and landed THUMP!! Right in front of Tootsie. A shiny pot of glittering gold was right at the very end. He rubbed his hands in glee. IM RICH!!!!! Just as he was about to grab it with his greedy paws, a short man dressed all in green appeared out of thin air. Tootsie had to do a double-take just to make sure he wasn't imagining him.

"Why hello there" Said the green man. "I'm a leprechaun!"

Tootsie gasped in surprise. A leprechaun!! They were oh so very rare and apparently the could actually grant WISHES!! Just my luck!!!

"Wazzup Bro!" Tootsie exclaimed waving a hoof at the leprechaun.

"And you are . . . " Asked the green man.

"Tootsie! I like toes." Giggled Tootsie. Wait a second, he thought. If he is a little MAN, shouldn't he have toes?? Tootsie started inching his way closer to the leprechaun.

"You have a chance to make three wishes and three wishes only. If you . . . . . ." the green man kept on babbling on like that for a while, whilst Tootsie was inching even closer to him. When at last they were a toes length away from each other, Tootsie lowered his head (He is a llama after all) and opened his jaw and . . . . . . . bit into hard leather.

"Blah!" Screeched Tootsie and started spitting out hard leather and clean socks everywhere. At least he couldn't really get told off for spitting, 'cause he was a llama.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" Screamed the green man and started whimpering about how his good shoes were ruined. They were so shredded that he had to take off both his shoe and sock and had to hop around on one foot. Tootsies eyes glittered. He did have toes after all! Tootsie immediately knocked the leprechaun off his feet and grabbed his hairy leg and started licking his tint toes. Oh, how it tasted so good!!  He kept on licking and could taste fresh socks and leather and grass and sparkles and . . . unicorns?? Tootsie shook off the thought and kept on licking contently, while the leprechaun just kept on screaming like a baby mouse.

But suddenly a bigger shadow appeared, blocking out the warm sun. Tootsie fearfully looked up to see . . . . an older lady llama with clunky high heels, an ill-fitting dress and horribly smudged lipstick. His mother!! Tootsie slowly put down the leprechauns poor feet and got to his feet, bowing his head in embarrassment.

"What do you think you've done, young man" she growled in a deep voice. "I'm extremely disappointed in you. No toes for 5 months!!" And with that she whipped around and trotted all the way back up the winding path  to their little cottage. But, with her head held high, she accidentally stood on the old snail, who was still making his way to the pond.

"Watch where ya' going lady" he croaked and looked up at his back to see a huge dent in his precious shell. He fainted. Tootsie mother just kept on walking, unaware of the commotion she had caused. Tootsie, still embarrassed, trotted weakly back up the path, past the pond, through the woods, and up to the little cottage. Then he simply opened the door went inside and stood on a hedgehog.

"Ouch," was all he said an closed the door and went to bed.

The End!
