Suzanne stood still. Her throat like sandpaper, she whispered, “Hello?”
The rhino snorted and tossed her head as if she were shooing flies. The moonlight made her eyes sparkle.
“Um, the parrots have talked,” she continued. “We humans have found out that most mammals have the power of speech….”

Um, what does one say to a rhino?
ReplyDeleteCute! :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting six! I wouldn't know what to say to a rhino, either.

The power of speech - great twist. Hoping to hear next week what the rhino answered, lol
ReplyDeleteLove this! Good luck on selling it!
ReplyDeleteWow a rhinoceros story! That's pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteIntriguing... So will the hippo speak?? :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued. Hope you'll share more next week. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to know if he answers...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear Ms. Rhino's words! And welcome to SSS!
ReplyDeleteTalking to the rhinos? How intriguing and different!
ReplyDeleteCute! Very Doc Doolittlish!
ReplyDeleteOh, good luck on getting a stubborn rhinoceros to speak. I'd be scared.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I'm just thinking that a rhino isn't the creature you want to make a mistake with!
ReplyDeleteI sorta knew that - just a different language they speak
ReplyDeletePlease, ask why they allow flies on their eyelids. I've always wondered.
ReplyDeleteOf course the parrots talked! What a great opening.
