Hello, Clover.

You look very pretty today.

Don’t get mad now. I saw you playing with the babies. Butting heads.

What about me, Clover? Can I come in and play? I have a game.

Follow me here.

Follow me there.

This way.

That way.

Now let’s go in the opposite direction!

C’mon! Isn’t this fun? Follow me again. (I can make them do anything! I am like…the pied piper! I am soooo powerful!!)

I walk here, I walk there, I walk back, back, back, and they follow, follow, follow–

Back– Oh. I forgot about this other pile of logs.

Wait!

Hold on! GET OFF ME!

Help!

I HAVE COOKIES!

Clover? You look really pretty today, have I mentioned that? Cuz Clover, I didn’t bring any cookies.
