A Sloth Thing

Sleepy in my tree

So here I am just hanging out in my tree, doing my sloth thing, dreaming while I sleep.  Haven't moved much in the

past few years, but that's OK, there's always tomorrow, I'll move a few more inches up this tree then , but I'm so 

comfortable right here I think I'll just hang out and sleep some more.

"Ouch, what's than poking me in my back"  I open my eyes and see this tall, fast moving, hairless creature with a 

long stick with prickles on the end, and a bucket.   Before I can do anything about it I'm falling through the air and 

.

upside down in the bucket.  

HELP ME !

The creature has taken me from my tree, and into a dark place with loud noise, and many other creatures, but some 

of them have hair, and are all looking at me with their strange scary eyes. I curl up into a tight ball and close my

eyes, hoping the creatures will go away and leave me alone, if I can't see them maybe they can't see me. 

I was so happy in my tree

Now we're going up higher, it's bumpy, something squeek's and there's a loud bang and a rush of wind, where we are

,

is lighter, then there's another squeek, bang and a rush of wind, now it's very light and I'm lifted out of the bucket and 

into a bright slippery shiny place. "OH no it's raining.  How can it be raining there's no sky above me"?  The rain is 

warm, I open my eyes through the rain and see 2 more of the strange creatures looking at me, one has very bright 

yellow hair and the other dark, they're staring at me and they move so fast. 

  

"OH crap what's happening now"?  The  water  is slimy, and there's bubbles, the hairless creature is rubbing my coat 

and making it slimy and bubbly and smelly, and ouch it hurts when it gets in my eyes it taste's nasty.

I'm all wet and slimy!

I'm so scared, I don't understand what's happening to me.  The bubbles get bigger as the creature rubs my back and 

my tummy, it smells funny, I don't like it.  Then comes more warm rain, this isn't like jungle rain, why is it so warm.

Now I'm lifted out of the slippery wet place and something is being wrapped around me, what are they doing?  it's 

dark wrapped in this thing, the creature is rubbing my fur, it smells funny.

Now I'm back in the bloody bucket again and I'm moving, suddenly I'm back in my tree.  I'm so confused, what 

just happened to me?
