Furwaggle Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Widget, Gadgets, and Gizmos.

The sun has just finished its job after another wonderful day and a full moon is on the rise in this fictitious dreamland, called, Furwaggle.
Wiggles is on a walk around the barnyard before calling it a day when he sees Fluffy and Billy huddled together around something on the ground. He walks over to them and asks, “Ok, whom did you step on this time Fluffy?”. Indigently Fluffy shots back, “I didn’t step on any body, it’s been weeks since I did anything like that. But we did find something.”. “Yea”, chimed in Billy. “we found a Widget.”. Fluffy scratched behind one of his ears then added, “No, I think it’s more like a gadget.”. Wiggles pushed his way between them and said, “Step aside you two and let me take a look at this gizmo.”. Nodding his head Billy agreed, “Yes, I guessed it could be a gizmo.”. Not to be out done Fluffy jumped in with, “See I knew it all along, it’s a gizmo.”. With a grin Billy said, “Yep, and a few minutes ago you said it was a Leprechaun.”. Defensive Fluffy replied, “Well I’m not the one that kicked it and…”. Wiggles butted in with, “Who kicked it?”. Fluffy was now on a roll pointing at Billy, “He kicked it, the gizmo started in making a buzzing sound and Billy kicked it.”. Wiggles asked, “Please help me understand, it started buzzing and you kicked”? Sleeplessly Bill answered, “Well it starting to hiss at me so I gave it a little kick, you know just to protect myself”. “See I told you he did it”, accused Fluffy while still pointing at Billy. “Ok you two settle down and let me get a closer look at this thing.”, Wiggles said sarcastically as he bent down to let his eyes focus on the gizmo. “Watch out”, warned Fluffy, “remember that little green man that zapped you last month”. “What green man?”, whispers Billy. “Never mind that now.”, snarled Wiggles. By now all three of them were nose to nose with the gizmo. “Hush you two, I’m trying to figure out what we got here”, demanded Wiggles. He continued with “Oh I see now, what we have here folks is a cell phone and it’s turned on.”. Fluffy jumped up and took a few steps backward, while saying in a shakily voice, “Is it going to hurt me? Maybe Billy should kick it again just to make sure.”. Billy also had retreated back a little and said, “I sure will give a good kick if it hisses again”. Biting his tongue so not to laugh, Wiggles chuckled, “Not to worry boys, it’s harmless, well almost harmless, depending on who you are and what you’re doing.”. “What’s it good for?”, asked Fluffy. He figured that every answer has the right question and when in doubt, even a dumb question was better than none at all. Billy on the other hand was of the opinion the more I know, the more I don't know. “Well”, said Wiggles, “you talk on it”. “Sure”, said Billy, “and just how do you do that?”. Wiggles went on to explain, “You wrap it around your head and talk into one end and stick the other end into your ear so you can hear what someone else is saying.”. With shock Billy said, “Not me, I’m not sticking that hissing phone gadget into my ear.”. “Me either.”, chimed in Fluffy. “I'm pretty sure that my insurance doesn't cover that.”. “Well, I’m not going to argue with you two. You can do with it what you want. As far as I’m concerned, I’m just going to let it lie there and buzz all it wants to.”, declared Wiggles, as he started to walk away. With that Billy turned to Fluffy and said, “You can have my part of that phone thing, its all yours”. “Who me”, replied Fluffy, “Are you kidding me? I may not be the smartest turnip on the truck but I know for sure I’m not putting that widget or gadgets or gizmos thing any where near me.”.
By now it was fully dark, or at least as dark as it gets in Furwaggle. We see our three friends walking off toward the barn for a good nights sleep, to dream of Widget, Gadgets, and Gizmos.

My tiny mind thinks that not all Gizmos, even those that buzz are right for everyone.
