The Wild Life Page #4

Yeah, we've made a real mess of things.

Looks that way Epi gal.

Where are you going Rosie?

I'm going to clean up our mess.

I'm in!

Let's get cracking then, mate.

Wait a second.

You're going to make an

even bigger mess of things.

Wild beasts, they're

going to get us!

Stay right where you are.

I've got a special treat for all of you.

I just wanted to give you

some biscuits, that's all.

They're quite good.

I finished off your dog human,

and I promise one day,

you and the rest of

your lot will join him.

Now that, is the taste of desperation.

Try to get one, they taste just like chicken.

What, do you want to show me something?

Alright, alright, let's go!

Tuesday.

This, this is fantastic.

Fresh water.

Good job Tuesday.

What?

You want me to follow you?

Okay, I'm coming!

Hey guys, look who's here.

Relax. there's nothing to be afraid of.

Stay right where you are,

I'll be right back.

What got into him, why is he running away?

Beats me.

Maybe it's your smell.

Try one of these, it's really good.

And some for you, and try.

So choosy, where's pretty bird.

I haven't see her yet.

Pretty bird.

You don't need to yell Mac,

I mean Tuesday.

I'm right here.

Here you have pretty bird.

Here, do you see, I don't hurt you.

Come on, don't be afraid.

Come on pretty bird.

Well, friendships aren't made in a day.

Taking one step at a time, right choosy.

One step.

I can't May, the current is too strong.

So, you failed again, did you?

Would you stop feeling sorry for yourself?

Oh, time will come.

Soon there will be more of us.

Revenge will be sweet.

That hurt.

Ah, you can't see a bloody thing,

can you old goat?

We're gonna have to fix that.

There you are.

That should help.

Why Rosie, you're no pig.

Hey, what has gotten into you?

You're gorgeous?

Easy big boy.

No, no.

Oh no.

Tuesday help.

Hey guys!

Nevermind.

This is hopeless.

How am I ever going to survive

in this island?

Yes, of course, that's it!

I have to build a tree house!

It's raining tree limbs.

Is good enough to eat.

Is there anything you wouldn't eat?

Hey snail, what's he doing?

Come on mate, he's just bunkers on us.

He's destroying the tree.

I can't saw more.

Need to finish shelter, we must build.

Yes Sir, a whole porridge please.

We had no clue what Crusoe was up to.

Sawing. Porridge.

Yep, as Pango would say,

he was bonkers to the max.

Are you coming along May.

Can I have just a little peak?

Can you just wait, I'm cleaning them up.

Well could you at least tell

me how big a litter we have?

More than we'll ever

be able to feed, I'm afraid.

You look kittie.

That's smart.

I'm trying to work here,

go eat somewhere else.

At this rate, I'll never get this built.

I told you, go!

Ah, nevermind.

What I wouldn't give

for an extra set of hands.

For all his pounding and sawing we

couldn't figure what he was actually doing.

What is going on?

Really?

I couldn't blame Rosie.

When you got an itch,

you gotta scatch it.

The poor Crusoe he didn't see it that way.

He has had enough.

And that's when it hit me, a nest.

Hey, guys.

I've figured out what he was doing.

Making an ass?

No. His building a shelter.

We don't follow you mate.

He's building a nest.

A nest?

So he is a bird.

Scrubs.

He's building a human nest in the tree.

Pretty clever.

I've never slept in a tree.

If he stocks it with food,

you'll sleep in a tree.

Good point,

so guys, I got an idea,

what do you say we help him out.

Get this nest of his built.

I must've been crazy, thinking

I can build all this by my...

self.

We didn't really have any

idea what we were getting into.

We just figure let's help,

use whatever abilities we had

and hoped it all worked.

I'll be gobsmacked.

Slowly, slowly.

Slowly, slowly.

That's it, just a little more.

Hi Epi, where are you

headed with all that food?

I need a little help here guys.

Not that kind of help.

It tickles.

Epi hold up, I'm starving.

Help.

Things didn't always go smoothly

and we had our ups and downs.

That's for sure.

But everyone was in fine spirits

and Crusoe seemed.

Well, happy.

He made a funny little door for Epi

and Pango to get into the nest.

It was a pretty good idea.

After a few modifications that is.

We became a real team, playing all

these funny games Crusoe came up with.

He had all sorts of crazy ideas

oh, and hide and seek in the ground.

Crusoe had a funny way of eating,

he peeled the fruit.

And boy did he eat slow.

It took quite a while but despite

his ackwardness and all of his flaws

Crusoe surprised even the

most skeptical among us.

That's it, that's it, watch your step.

I've just put the finishing

touches on our new home.

New home, hold it right there,

first thing we must do

is christen the place.

It's good luck you know.

I christen thee.

Oh, nevermind.

The preach is for us.

Now look at that.

It's so beautiful.

Hip, hip, hooray!

What in the world is

that noise he's making?

Sounds like Scrubby when he needs food.

It's painful mate, let's get out of here.

Personally, I think it sounds beautiful.

A party and we weren't invited.

Now, could you come here.

I'm starving here.

Coming.

You know how difficult it

is in my condition to hunt right now.

Have you tried to make

it to the other island lately.

Oh May, you know the last time

I'd tried I almost drowned.

I'm afraid we're just stuck

with just the bugs and spiders.

They sound delicious.

Now go and hunt some up for me!

Right, darling.

I'll wrap them in seeweed

just the way you like them.

With the nest completed,

Crusoe moved on to a new project.

We didn't have to forage for food,

we had this great nest

and we even had indoor plumbing.

Paradise, just got better.

That human sure has

made life peachy for us.

Rosie is sponsor to the max,

I tell ye old girl,

if this new world talks about

this cuchie,

it might not be that bad after all.

Getting a little plump aren't we,

sitting around all day?

Ain't nothing wrong with

a few curves, Kiki honey.

With Crusoe doing the fishing,

it would put the superb in

you too in no time, Kiki.

What do we have here?

Looks like Crusoe is going to put

your fish and scales to shame, Kiki.

As time passed, life became more

and more confortable for us all.

Yet, Crusoe seemed very sad at times,

he missed his old world.

He build a strange tower on the

highest point of the island.

With bright lights

burning every night.

Another day and no ship

in sight little fellow.

What I wouldn't give to see

the sun set over the Thames.

Thames?

Come on partner.

I don't get it,

why does he light this thing every night?

In the hope that some

other humans pass by.

If they see the signal,

they'll come and rescue him.

I knew the chances of leaving this island,

would become slimmer as time went by.

I just didn't know how slim.

More humans on the island,

that's not gonna happen.

And now my friends, like all good

Englishman, a moment of silence.
