Hurrying to Nora's house, Pito called all his llama friends and called an emergency meeting of the Tired of Nora's Bossiness Support Group. That was the original name of the Llama Retribution Squad.
The llamas assembled in front of Nora's house, much like you're assembling in this auditorium. They listened to the problem and then snorted. They thought Pito was calling them together to complain about something Nora did.
It was while they were arguing over who's turn it was to bring the wheat grass milkshakes, it was totally Paco's turn, that they heard a noise coming from the bushes.
Nora suddenly appeared in the brush and she yelled at Pito, "Hey you stupid llama! Why did you leave me in the ditch?"
Pito looked confused. He hadn't left Nora in the ditch, she'd been gone.
He held his injured foot with one of his good feet and looked at Nora. Something about her looked different, but he couldn't quite figure it out.
"You were gone," Pito finally said.
"I was hiding from the cute duckling," Nora told him. "He looked dangerous."
Pito frowned. "Oh. Well, I'm glad you made it home safe."
"Me too," Nora said, but Pito noticed her mouth didn't move when she spoke. And while her face looked like it always did, her body was white, not the golden it normally was.
Before he could ask about it though, Nora shouted to the rest of the llamas, "Who wants a wheat grass milkshake?"
In the chaos of the moment, she disappeared into the house with the herd.
Until next time, be ever attentive!
