Chapter 7: The Golden Goose.
A few hours later, we arrived to leafs, when we moved them we found with a beautiful and longed view.
It was the golden eggs! There were a lot!
Saying we were surprised was lesser, we were marveled.
"Look at this. It's egg paradise. It's so beautiful, I feel like I belong here." Humpty said excited. He laughed happy and he launched himself to down.
For his bad luck his arrival was not the best, he hit himself in his parts with one of that eggs…
"Golden egg" He complained
With Puss reached him and Humpty was dying.
"Grab as many as you can." He said hardly.
With didn't think twice and we went for them, but…it was impossible. They were so heavy and huge!
"I thought they were going to be like chicken size" Puss said like he could while he tried to take one of the eggs, I was in the same situation.
I sat down on the egg "Can you imagine laying one of these? Ouch!" I said when I thought how hard it was for the poor animal.
"Puss!" Humpty called for help, he had an egg above him and he couldn't take away it, we went to help him.
"How are we supposed to get these out of here?" Puss asked.
"I don't know" Humpy answered him.
I felt a sound that called my attention.
"Shh" I shut them.
The Golden Goose appeared!
"Oh, my!" Humpty said amazed
"The Golden Goose" Puss said in the same way, the goose adjusted its feathers and tweeted.
"Just look at her. Isn't she beautiful?" Egg said in the same way.
The goose put an egg hardly and then she went to us, but closer to Humpty and she began to caressed him and giving him little pecks, he was so happy.
" My sweet darling" Humpty said happy and the goose jumped above him.
"I think she likes you" Puss said laughing.
The Great Terror roughed again, startled us and with Puss hid behind a tree.
"Let's just take her" Humpty proposed .
"Wait a minute. This is the goose of legend. We don't know what happens if we take her" Puss asked.
Good point.
"I know what happens if we don't take her, we got nothing" Humpty answered.
Other good point and it was more valuable.
"Guys, guys. It's a gold pooper. We're taking it!" I proposed them.
We didn't say nothing more and we began to run, I took the goose in my shoulders, the Great Terror found out about our presence and he was chasing us leaving a disaster, the trees and the branches fell roughly. We hurried up.
When we arrived to the bridge with a improvised rope, we went up, climbed it and advanced as we could.
"Almost there!" Humpty said, but the Great Terror trampled the rope, stretching it more, making the bottle fell down.
"Hang on!" Humpty attained to scream, but it was late.
The situation that happened was a good luck, because we fell in a kind of toboggan and we went so quickly that hardly you could see around, for disgrace I was the first, so I carried all the surprises, in a moment I was in the air, then I came back to the toboggan and in seconds I flew and I landed roughly in the ground. Puss fell above me, we wallowed and then I was in his stomach, I thought it was the end but not, the goose fell above us. Poor Puss, he took the worst part, not like Humpty, who fell so softly, even the goose trampled my head when she got down.
I didn't have time to get up when we felt the Great Terror's big steps and growls, we stayed looking to see it, when we got up we found out that it was behind us, it was destroying everything in its way, making a big disaster.
"It's coming!" Humpty shouted and he added "Run!"
I didn't know how, but Humpty escaped across the branches, but sure he didn't stop to scream, Puss took the goose and we ran away faster as we could, in a moment I didn't know why I looked behind, but if I hadn't done I hadn't see the big branch that fell making me fly and let me hanging in other big branch, that was not the real problem, it was in that moment I needed my claws to hold myself. In that minute if my ears didn't fail me Puss called me…i didn't know because i fell in the water…
Everything became dark leaving me without memories…
When I came back to be a little conscious, I felt that someone pulled me in a strong flowing place, and then I felt a trunk, and I hold myself instinctively, there I noticed that Puss saved me…
I looked him while I recovered the air, like him the sound called our attention, it was a big swirl, and the flowing carried us.
"Hang on!" Puss shouted.
We began to swim, but it was impossible with that flowing.
That big swirl swallowed separating us, the rare thing was that we got out from the castle, the water became in a cloud, the kind propulsive, because it sent us to fly direct to the big stalk, where we bounced roughly falling down quickly.
I noticed that Humpty was shaking the poor goose...
Quickly I took off my knife and I cut the leaf, I reached Humpty and grabbed him from his foot.
"Puss?" Humpty asked looking up.
"No" I answered him, I noticed it was the best moment to ask him "Humpty tell me, what are you contriving? You know what I mean, if you don't tell me I drop you" I threatened him.
Giving him not more options, he answered me upset.
"It's a revenge counter Puss and everything will happen tonight" Humpty spat out, I couldn't ask more. Puss got in whistling to call our attention and he came direct to us laughing with a leaf in his hands, then he hit us, making we lost our leaf, and again we were falling in free fall, I looked daggers him.
"I'm sorry" He said innocently.
I didn't say anything, I cut other leaf and both held the ends, and we arranged to put the stalk to the end of the other end, before we ensured with Humpty, who didn't stop to scream.
We planned quietly and I didn't notice that I was beside Puss, it was my opportunity to thank him for save my life, so I move our improvised planner for Puss hit with me and call his attention, and I did it.
"Thanks, Ginger." I said him honestly looking him to the eyes, he assented me like saying "you're welcome".
Those eyes were distracting me a lot...
It couldn't be!
"We should maybe cut that down" Humpty said pulling me out from the "charm".
"Is it necessary?" Puss asked.
"Yes, it's necessary, it's like you leave a gold mine open to everyone" Humpty said.
"Yeah, but it's a big stalk!" Puss said Humpty.
"We will delay a eternity in that!" I said supporting Puss.
"We are going to do that anyway" Humpty said urged " I have tools down"
Nobody said a word, and again I sank in my thoughts, now I knew it, or I corroborated that everything was against Puss…"what will I do?" In some way I felt guilty knowing and staying in silence, he helped me indifferently, he had been a bad friend, it was the reverse, in other side there was the gold, and I had to do the fucking plan to get it.
What a mess…
And maybe the solution is easier than I thought…
Before I could solve my dilemma, I reached the ground, for good luck the Humpty's cart was safe.
The egg went quickly to the cart, taking off the tools.
"I insist that we'll delay so much" I said looking the big stalk.
"That giant stalk will call the attention and Jack and Jill will find us" Humpty said with a handsaw that pressing a button extended the handsaw enough to cut between two people.
"You know so well that I don't have strength, but i will help you in another way that you need, i will care the goose"
We don't have another chance, and we went with the great handsaw to the big stalk.
"If it was because I have patience I would break that egg right now" I said with bad temper, I hated tedious jobs.
Puss laughed.
"Nah, we'll have fun" Puss said trying to be positive.
"I don't see the funny thing really, steal seems something simple compared with this" I said and we began to cut the stalk hardly. "I hope it worth" I added. Puss pulled the handsaw.
"It is, we have the goose and we are fine, just it's… emm just another job" he said trying to look for something coherent "By the way, are you ok?" Puss said when he remembered my fall.
"I was" I said joking and both laughed.
I noticed that Humpty looked me with a bad face twice at day, Puss didn't see it, because he was giving the back, but I had him in front of me, I ignored him, I continued with the work, besides talking with Puss it was easier, and I couldn't let him ruin my humor, more it was.
"We won't notice when we finish and we are celebrating" Puss said.
"It has to be soon" I said him when I pushed the handsaw, but it stalled.
"Great" I said sarcastically.
"It doesn't sympathize me" Puss said looking daggers at the stalk "Try it, you push from one end and I push the other side with strength, and see if it moves a bit"
"Ok" I answered him.
And we did it, it moved centimeters and it stalled again. We reached to cut the middle of the stalk.
"Now what? An idea?" Puss asked me.
"Mmm, and if we push the same side together?, and then pull the other side? I proposed.
We pushed with all our strength, but anyway the damn stalk didn't deign to move. We tried from the other side pulling, for disgrace, or maybe not…or maybe the stalk only wanted to make us a bad joke…we slided off, making the gravity did its part and we wallowed meters from the stalk. In this opportunity he was over me.
Without urge we stayed looking each other like it was the most normal thing in the world.
"I guess it's becoming in custom" I said.
" I remember you that it's your idea" he said me imp.
"What are you insinuating?" I asked him in the same way.
"That you are looking for a way to stay like this" he taunted me.
"Oh really? You think that? Sure, you go and follow my idea, I didn't make you" I answered him following the game.
He stayed in silence and then he began to laugh and I joined it.
"Ejem if you don't care I want to finish this before nightfall" Humpty said upset with an ax in his hand.
"Come on Humpty, don't be grumpy, we just had a little problem with your tool" Puss said when he got up and then he helped me.
"A big problem I see, one I didn't think" he said looking me, it was obvious that he was saying it to me.
"I neither thought we would have to do this kind of job" I said him a little angry. "Give us the solution soon Mr. genius, I want to rest a bit"
"Ok, you have to make a cut sufficiently leaned for the stalk's weight gives to the weak side"
In a bad way I took away his ax and I began to cut in a leaned way, that egg reacts like this because I knew his plan, I would opt for the best way and I let him to think whatever he wanted, for the moment I didn't say him anything. I gave a pair of cuts with rage and I didn't know why…
"I don't want to underestimate you, but I think it's my turn" Puss said close to me, I didn't notice his presence.
"Ok" I said him giving him the ax, tired.
Puss began to cut, while he reached the other side, the stalk creaked.
"Do you want help?" I asked.
"Nah, it's not too long" he said me..
When he said it, the stalk creacked stronger and when it leaned to its weak point, it broke and fell leaving dust everywhere.
"Finally" I said "it was just in the twilight" I added while the stalk fell in chain.
"Let's to rest" Puss said tired.
"I agree" I answered him tired too.
We left in silence, the fatigue was more notable, after all it was a exhausted day, but hallucinatory…
Humpty created improvised tents with branches of the great stalk, using this like tent's part.
I didn't think twice and I went to rest without problems to fell asleep.
