Samantha the Red made her way back through the Black Gate and near to the forest from which she had recently emerged. There she found herself in the foothills of Mulch Pile Mountain.
Knowing what lay ahead, she drew out her Pointy Stick and kept it at the ready. And it turned out that she didn’t have to wait long before putting it to good use!
From his perch on Mulch Pile Mountain leapt a large and fearsome rat! His beady brown eyes gazed malevolently at young Samantha the Red and he came rushing forth, teeth bared. “Rowr!!”
With a squeal of excitement, Samantha deftly dodged out of his way and turned quickly to catch him full on the wide bottom with her Pointy Stick. His fur dimpled deeply as Samantha thrust at his furry backside, not once but twice.
With a yelp of pain, the rat took flight and scurried behind the bulk of Mulch Pile Mountain. No more would he trouble Samantha the Red this day!
Her adrenaline still pumping, Samantha looked around for more adversaries but found none. She then turned her attention to the top of Mulch Pile Mountain where she spied a small chest. It no doubt contained the ill gotten gains guarded by the vicious rat. She climbed the treacherous and crumbly slopes of Mulch Pile Mountain and retrieved the chest, with small difficulty, but at the cost of getting her namesake red outfit rather dirty. But there would be time for laundry later! This was the hour of triumph!
She found the chest locked and withdrew from her backpack the key given to her by the Eagle. With a faint click the chest yielded its contents and she found that it contained the Silver Jingly Ball, just as she had hoped!
With the last of the three Silver Items safely stowed in her backpack, she merrily returned to Mommyville to hand them over to King Monkey. As she entered his audience chamber she swelled with pride. “I have brought you the things you needed!”
King Monkey, despite the sadness brought on by the Curse, found himself giving Samantha the Red a hearty, “Thank You!” He continued, “With these items I can now start to lift the Curse! This is a great day for the kingdom of Mommyville!”
Samantha the Red beamed with pride at her accomplishments but still recalled her manners, “You’re Welcome!”
King Monkey took a somewhat more serious tone, “But remember that the Curse is not yet lifted. Next I will need the three Golden Items. Can you return someday and help us with that?”
“Sure!” said Samantha the Red. For her heart longed for adventure and she would gladly undertake any quest that offered her these exciting journeys. But for now, she bade King Monkey farewell and headed off in search of an afternoon snack.
