Vision With A Mission ... part 4 of 14

Part 4 of 14

 Ahhh! here is a monkey named Magic. He is sitting by 3 overflowing baskets in the market...full of veggies so it seems (the baskets...tut...okay, so the monkey had 3 bananas in his gob so who's counting ???) & so begins the bartering. With

Think i brought too many Loom Bands ?

everything bartered and even exchanged for, except for 1/2 a box of loom bands (think we over did it with loom bands), Moonpig and Pinky friend loads up all the vegetables into 2 now heavy holdalls...you know, bags, the sort that could hold...erm...explosives :) but NOT, no no NO! as i am peace-loving pig, loving veggies. 

--K, says Moonpig, we needs sum sort of transport 2 get uz over the 1st bit of a mountainous ridge & up 2wards the jungle that will lead uz 2 the Hush-a-bye mountain...(looks around). Hi Mr. Elephant. R u 4 hire ?

--As a matter of fact I am...where would you like to go ? Says Mr. Elephant (who's name happens to be Dumbo)...Is that a feather he's holding ?

My beautiful feather .. trumpets Dumbo.

--We wants to go to the highest mountain in Peru, Piggy friend pipes up as friend has been quiet a long time & she wants to put her pennyworth in ! (Haa! now we have it ! Disclosed for the first time on here & anywhere....Pinky friend happens to be a SOW and it has taken a long time to find this out !!!)

--Right, Just one problem with that. I can only take you as far as The 3 Demon Gate. To go past them you will have to do so by yourself. You see, you will need to perform a Purifying Ceremony of a RITUAL kind. It involves making an offering of SALT to the Demons for Safe Passage.

--Hmm, o.k. good job we bought sum salt 2 season the veggies wiv...says Moony nodding 2wards one of the bags...but PRAY tell me, y cant u go any further ???

--Argh!! [Elephant recoils]...Keep the salt well away from me...trumpets Dumbo looking scared...[then as he sees shocked look on pigs faces feels he has to explain] You see, i wasn't always in the form as you see me in now...I was a SNAIL in my FORMER LIFE...till someone trod on me and sent me to be reborn or reincarnated. I prefer this bigger body as i can hold, carry, pull, and make more of whatever it is you have in exchange for my services.

--I az these very very pretty & much much desirable...erm...loom bands. Moonpig takes out a few loom bands to show Dumbo.

--Such b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l colors, exclaims Dumbo, twisting the bands this way and that in his trunk before putting them away...erm where ever a elephant puts his erm...things :) . Climb on my back and i'll hang your knapsacks on my tusks.

Twist ur leg round Pinky..you'll fall !!!

So up they climb...and enjoy the view...rising up over the smaller mountain ridge breathing in all that lovely fresh air...& the journey continues. Much chattering in good SPIRITS [whiskey, sherry, port anyone ? :) ] & the like goes back & forth...back & forth...back &...Suddenly, Dumbo comes to a FULL STOP ! 

--That's as far as i go, if you carry on just down there (points with trunk to a forested area dead ahead) you will find The 3 Demon Gate. They, the Demons will tell you what to do. If you want safe passage, be sure to follow the directions to the letter...trumpets in a serious looking elephant expression { ( . . ) }  (< like that)

Moonpig and Pinky slide down off Dumbo's back & Moonpig carefully removes the backpacks (ha ha, bags keep changing names...to avoid...detection ??? ) & trotters them over (pigs dont have hands c) to Pinky.

--Bye & have a safe journey back, oinks Pinky, waving a trotter & a big tear falls from the corner of her eye...think she rather liked Mr. Elephant :)

--Com on then Pinky friend az we ay got all day 2 stand stooding here :)

--But the holdalls are heavy !!! squeals Pinky.

--Oh, o.k. we con go a bit slower if eet 'elps.

Down the trail & at the edge of the trees & flora, (Flora...thats the plants of a particular region, habitat,or

geological period :) ) they see a gate...almost like a oblong archway. On this...gate are perched 3 DEMONS  of different appearances...One on either side and one on top....descriptions are as follows....2 b cont.....
