High up in a tree, Jerry the bush baby sit and bakes in the winter sun.  He just ate his lunch for the day, his tummy is full and his eyes are closed.  Jerry is not sleeping he is just enjoying the warmth of the sun.

Suddenly he hears voices below him.  He looks curiously through the leaves to see who it is.  It is Raspos and his friend Melba busy talking to each other.

“Hey” said Raspos to Melba. “I am in the mood for a bit of fun. Lets go and tease the fairies a bit tonight.  Alice and her friends are always making fun of us telling silly jokes about us, a rat and a gnome that are best friends”

Alice and her fairy friends are always making jokes about Melba.  The say: “What is a rat’s favorite game?  Hide and squeak!!”

About Raspos they say things like he will never go “gnome” alone because he and Melba are always by each other’s side.  

Raspos and Melba are getting tired of being made fun of. The whole Garden valley follows in Alice’s jokes. It is time that these two friends stand together and do something about it. 

“What are we going to do?” asked Melba.“Tonight we are going to cause an earthquake” said Raspos.“How are we going to do that?  We are not big enough to cause an earthquake? Your plan is not going to work” said Melba confused.

“No” said Raspos, Alice and her friends are staying on the eastern side of Garden Valley, between the flowers.  Tonight we will go there and shake the stem of the flowers.  They will think that it is an earthquake.”

Raspos and Melba falls to the ground laughing they don’t even see Jerry disappear behind the leaves up in the tree.  

“I really like Alice” Jerry thought to himself.  “She always helps me when I am in trouble and she is always friendly.  I think I am going to tell her about Raspos and Melbas’ plan”

As usual, Alice was busy helping another fairy when Jerry got to her.  “Alice” he whispered. “Can you quickly come here?” he asked.

“What is wrong Jerry? Are you in trouble again?” asked Alice.“No” said Jerry. “This time, you are in trouble” he tried to explain.“Raspos and Melba want to scare you tonight because you’re always making fun of them and their friendship. Tonight when you are going to sleep, they are going to shake the stem of the flowers so that you must think it is an earthquake.” 

Alice laughed.  “What do you think I must do to stop them?” she asked.

“I know,” said Jerry, “I will ask my friends to help us capture them and teach them a lesson.”

“Thank you that you are willing to help me Jerry” Alice said.  “It is the least I can do Alice, you have helped me so many times when I am in trouble.  I will tell you later what happened.” said Jerry as he disappeared between the leaves again.

As it became darker, Melba and Raspos met each other in the middle of Garden valley before making their way to the eastern side.

They know the fairies go to bed as soon as the sun has set.  As they walked to the eastern side of Garden valley it became darker and darker, they were only focusing on the path they had to walk.  They didn’t bring any light with, as they were afraid the fairies might see them before they even got the chance to scare them.

As the two friends came closer to the eastern side of Garden valley, they did not even see the bush babies watching them from the trees.  

All of the sudden a few hands grab the two friends and fly’s through the trees.  It was so dark that they did not even see who caught them or where they are going.

“HELP HELP HELP” they shouted as loud as they could.
