Once upon a time...

[Jamie D]

Deep in the woods, there was a little cottage, with a thatched roof ...

[Ms. OBrien CVT]

And a great circular door.

And a great circular door.

And inside lived a fat huntsman ...

[Ms. OBrien CVT]

And 100 ferrets.

[Alexis]

One day one of the ferrets decided he wanted to leave the huntsman's cottage and see the rest of the world...
