Sie alighted on the flower, sier face upturned against the afternoon sun, and tied to guess how long was left before the flood. Asinis quickly fled the great dam, where the Caterpillar Men were boring their holes, but to make it all the way to Sunny Hollow before they finished?

Time was against sier. Sier gossamer wings hummed as sie took off again.

“Help!”

A Mitmouse on the ground! No wings to spirit it to safety.

Asinis dove. There were minutes, maybe, but even in the middle of the greatest danger, sie could not let an innocent being die.
