The Panther decides it will be Chicken Licken for lunch.”
“Nice illiteration there, Panther.”
“The Panther decides to take her prey to the mountain top for a peaceful meal.”
“Where else is there to go? No trees in sight.”
“The Panther struggles under the weight of the huge chicken.”
“That stuffed chicken is almost weightless.”
“Finally, to the top of the mountain. The Panther checks to make sure all is secure.”
“I would not open your mouth, Miss Panther. That raging river below could sweep your prey away.”
The Panther holds the prey and tells the Puma to buzz off.”
“The Puma can’t bear to watch what happens next.”
“Arrrrg, the chicken slips from the Panther’s grasp and falls in the raging water below.”
“The Puma resists saying ‘I told you so'”
“The Puma, feeling pangs of hunger, approaches Cocoa and Doughdoe.”

Your two, bright little darwgies certainly have fun, John! Cheers. J
