dear_animals tt dear animals, who is celebrating their birthday today? if no one is, then who would like to have an early birthday? if no one would like that, then who wants to celebrate something else and invite me for cake and tart? if no one wants to do that, then who wants to celebrate something else and invite me for cake and tart? if no one wants to do that either, then who wants to bake a cake (with honey and cream and sweet jelly and melted sugar) and ask me to come around and eat it up? if no one wants to do that, what then? help me. the bear that afternoon everyone had a birthday party or an early birthday party or celebrated something else or just baked a cake anyway. the bear ran from one party to the next until he couldn't go any further. then he lay down puffing and panting under the willow, and slowly fell into a deep sleep in the light of the setting sun. 130209 ... gabbie the essence, the substance of having/being a friend is fulfilling that need...whatever and whenever it is needed. nice. 130209 ...
