The Lily Pond Princess Chapter 4

Chapter 4 The Bunny with the Note

When Vynilla awoke it wasn’t morning. It was still night. A bunny was next to her with a note in its paws. The bunny gave Vynilla the note and said that the world of nature depended on her. Then the bunny hopped off into the night. Vynilla looked down at the note but couldn’t read it because it was in human language, not in animal language. It looked like all it said was “baa baa baa baa baa follow the bunny.” But that was not what the note said at all. But Vynilla did what the note told her to do and ran after the bunny. She ran for a long time until she came to the edge of the forest where there were twinkling lights everywhere. Vynilla followed the bunny down a steep hill and into what we would call a city. Vynilla’s friends did not call this place a city. They called it the “danger castle.” 

“Not into the danger castle!” Vynilla whispered to herself. Vynilla followed the bunny though because she did love nature and for all she knew her friends were nature. The bunny hopped into the back yard of a human’s house where it settled down. 

Vynilla looked at the bunny surprised. “Shouldn’t it be in nature like all living animals?” she thought. But that thought was disturbed by an overjoyed human coming out from the door. 

“I’ve done it!” the overjoyed human yelled. “I’ve polluted the whole earth and now I will rule pollution.” As the human spoke, Vynilla thought of many questions but couldn’t ask them. After the human had left and driven off, Vynilla scampered into the backyard where she asked the bunny lots of questions. 

“What are you doing here?” asked the Bunny. “It is too dangerous for a hero like you to be here,” added the bunny. 

“Well the note said to follow you,” Vynilla answered. 

“No it didn’t. This note is in human writing. It tells you what to do.”

“What do I do?” asked Vynilla. 

“I don’t know,” said the Bunny. “I didn’t write this note. I thought you could read human writing because you are a human.” 

“Okay, well we just got to figure this out ourselves,” Vynilla said. “What is pollution?” Vynilla asked hurriedly. 

“It’s when gas and chemicals go into the nature community,” answered the bunny. 

“Not everywhere is polluted. Where my friends live it’s nice and clean.” 

“Well we need to send all the animals to that area. They are dying because of that pollution,” said the bunny. 

So Vynilla and the bunny split up, going to each house that had a pet and telling the animals to get out and go to the lily pond. By morning, Vynilla and the bunny were more tired than a hippopotamus after a long race. But this was no time to rest. Vynilla and the bunny had to organize the animals and save the world. Vynilla collected her best friends and even got to see Owly and the frogs. Vynilla and her best friends raced off towards the city where they would get rid of pollution. 

After a long journey and a long time, Vynilla and her friends had finally reached the third town. They started by getting the pollution out of the streams and ended by getting the pollution out of the air.
