A small tale… or maybe two tails?

“Hush… look. Just stop here. Now… get down. That’s right. Don’t move a muscle.”
“Um… what am I looking at?”
“Just hush for a bit. You will be pleased. Trust me.”

“I can smell something nice.”
“Yes, but that’s not what we are looking for.”
“Well, what are we looking for? I’m just asking.”

“Hush… again. Or we will miss this.”

The two of them managed to keep still, even though one of them had no idea what was happening.

“Oooh,” said both of them.
“See, that was what we were waiting for.”
“Okay, what a treat it was.”
“And still is.”

Then the two of them scrambled up.
“Here it is, it’s time to dig.”

“See, they missed it.”
And a moment later…
“We have got it!”
“But who’s going to carry it first?”
“I will!”

So the two little ones run off with a large and wonderful truffle!

    I was laughing at that line, as me and my big brother would often get ourselves in sticky situations and many times I had zero clue what we were up to.
