Ruby Finds Her Tusks

[ehowton]

Ruby was the only walrus pup on the ice shelf who didn't have her tusks.

Poor, poor, Ruby!

"But I want to have pretty tusks." Ruby told her mama. "All the other walrus pups have theirs." And Ruby's mama always said the same thing to her, in a song:

"One ^day you'll _be blubbery ^and fat, _with long ^strong tusks _for grousing ^at this _and that."

But poor Ruby thought her mama was a moron.

And so it was that Ruby went philandering around the ice shelf trying to fill the void in her walrus heart.

The end.

I have no doubt you'd enliven the potentially-dreary hell.

Pray tell, sir, does this tale have a sequel?

The unknown future rolls toward us. I face it, for the first time, with a sense of hope. Because if a walrus can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too.

How you tease your audience!

I gotta run, catch you on the other side of the walrus...

I don't think the other side of the walrus should even be teased about. =P
