The mysterious absence of Sasquatch Giraffe has been solved. He returned yesterday afternoon with a well-aimed splash that soaked the authorities, floor, surrounding electronics, and wall. Something he told us was “Very satisfying and well deserved.”
When we asked him where he had been, he told us it was a “Small, cold place where breathing was hard, and a stupid white tablet kept showing up.”
Surprisingly, Chummy yelled from the safety of the door of his home that Sassy’s description could only be the hospital.
When Wilt heard this, he began to cry. He pulled out a letter from Sir Witherspoon, and we learned that the great Sir is dead.
Chummy offered his condolences and suggested that Wilt and Sassy go to a spa.
Geoffrey’s unbridled joy at Sassy’s return is best described as enduring. As soon as she saw him, she nestled up to him and fluttered her body against his before swimming circles around him. The affection got everyone’s attention. Although most didn’t care, Chummy appeared put out and Ninja Smee thought it was sweet, casting longing glances at Beetlejuice (who gave her the cold fin).
It has not gone unnoticed by authorities or The Bubbly Review that in Sassy’s absence, the neighborhood became violent, particularly towards Geoffrey and Smee. With Sassy’s return, everyone has gone back to coexisting as peacefully as cichlids in an overcrowded tank can. There is a growing concern that if something terrible ever happened to Sassy, a few residents may, at best, form a mafia or, worse, fight to be the only one in the tank.
We all pray that Sassy lives a long life without brain damage from smacking into the glass.
