Ok, but I'm gonna use my own words cuz I don't like caskets, and have no idea who Rupert and Viola are..lol Hmmm, let's see.....
The BRUNETTE
from Vermont looked out the window, down at the sparkling river below, hoping to see the mallards that frequented the section of river by her APARTMENT. This particular section of the Winooski River was currently very LOW, so low that in certain spots the river was all dried up. The mallards stayed on the river each and every WINTER, and usually flew elsewhere in summer, and were back on the river by Blue's house in November at the very latest.
The soft-spoken brunette always was surprised at the plethora of wildlife she would see down on the river. She had seen a HUGE beaver eating trees, and leaving the stripped branches floating in the water. She had seen river rats, GIANT ones!! Bigger than Tequila, her cat, and Tequila was a fairly big 11-pound cat!! She had even seen a huge raccoon down on the ice one winter, how he had gotten down there, and why he was out carousing around in winter, Blue could not quite figure out. The ducks were on the river, and the raccoon headed toward them, so Blue leaned over the porch railing and hissed at the raccoon. It looked up at her sadly, as if to say, "I'm only looking for a way up out of here," then it meandered off in hopes of finding a spot to climb up out of and go back to where it belonged. Living in the heart of Vermont's capital city, Blue did not expect to see the amount of wildlife that came here everyday. She had even seen loons, a heron, and a slinky ferret-like animal down in the river. Down on the state house lawn, people had, on occasion glimpsed a bear that had wandered down from Hubbard Park.
Blue wondered to herself, "If animals could talk, what would they say? What wisdom about God and the world could they impart to us"? She was confident that they would praise their maker and sing of his GLORY. After all, even animals had to be grateful for being created, right? As she sat musing on this thought, she heard a voice behind her....
