Sheesh, he had a point. I mean, even the Warner Sisters didn't have anything to say about that, because it was true. The only protecting we've done around our PARKS WILDERNES, so far, is protect ourselves from the ant army. We even have that on film, which I am way not proud of.
Right away, the girls wanted to make a list of all the wildlife we have around here, so we could get organized. But Buddy said if we got any more organized than we already are, he was gonna puke. That was when I pointed out that every one of us knew by heart exactly who lived around here, and even where most of their houses were.
C. suggested we could maybe protect our squirrels from poachers. Only that lasted less than a minute before S. said nobody in their right mind would face the dangers of our "Sticky Woods" to catch squirrels when everybody in town had at least a dozen living in their own yards.
It was quiet for a long time after that. Then -- out of the clear blue -- Buddy said one word. "Birds." But I told him they were the least of our worries, on account of they can fly. I had to remind him of how we still hadn't figured out a way to get closer than you could throw a rock to any of them, ourselves. Besides that, it's illegal to shoot guns in our town, so we didn't have to worry about hunters, either.
"Winter," he said. "We gotta protect them from the time of year when there's hardly any food."
Man -- you'd have thought he said, "Let's go to Disneyland" the way we all hooped and hollered what a good idea that was. So, now we're on a big campaign to find out the best way to do that. Which gave me one of the greatest ideas I've had in a long time, too. We can have a contest. And maybe other Wilderness Protectors will do the same thing so they could win a really cool prize. That is, if anybody out there would be interested.
So, who's out there?
