Once upon a time, in the land of many trails, there lived a Brave and a Princess. They were married for many moons and had four faithful pets to keep them company at all times; in all kinds of weather (whether they wanted to swim, whether they wanted to sleep, whether they wanted to eat ------ yada, yada, yada). The Princess and the Brave had many tasks to do each day. The land did not supply all of their needs, even though they had a splendid fishing hole and two ducks. Horses ran on the side of their great land and round white spheres dropped from the sky. The Brave collected them but neither he nor the Princess knew how to prepare them over their great fire.
The Princess and the Brave were often visited by their esteemed family. They had heap amount of room in their great Teepee but as the old Indian Chief once said, after two weeks, visitors, friends and guests are much like the rotting great Buffalo. Ugh. Since white man speaks with forked tongue, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
Life for the Brave and Princess was sometimes tedious but the Kiowas, Apaches and Shawnees had led them to this land, so the Brave and the Princess had:
"Hakuna Matata"
View from the gate. The sand brings forth fruit and the trees give much shade. The dust hides them from the fierce people out beyond the forests where the roads are paved.
Front view of the Teepee, with one of the "machines which move like wind" sitting on bricks.
Front seen from side where heap more room exists to store much for long winter. Another moving machine, the color of the great fire, sits on bricks.
View of the back of the Teepee with cement pond within see through wall. Wall good. Keep out our brother ants, bees, flies, mosquitoes, lizards, gators, fox and spiders, to name just a few.
The great fishing hole.
The great water god has sent the great green snake to take away all manner of things that offend the pure water.
Two of the pets keep watch for anything that might get through the see-through wall. Writer cannot tell their names. It is a great secret.
Inside the great Teepee are the pets who are trained not to leave the side of the Brave or the Princess. They sit obediently waiting to follow their master's lead. I may not even speak their names but can whisper. Henry, Emmy, Romy and Daisy in back.
