Old, Smelly Skunk

Natalie wrote the following and asked if it could be shared with the world...

There was a scorching day in Africa. A grey elephant was drinking water from a large round lake. In the jungle, the mighty jungle the lion roared the parrot squawked and a monkey swung from tree to tree. The only animal that hadn’t been seen for centuries was the old smelly skunk. He was last seen 20 years ago. Old smelly skunk had gone into his cave after a very bad accident. This accident happened a long time ago and the old smelly skunk didn’t want to talk about it. I’ll tell you about the accident. When he was younger, old smelly skunk was a jungle champion for diving. On the 23rd of May 1998, all of the jungle divers went to the magic waterfall. They called it the magic waterfall because that is were all of the jungle champions have their diving final. The old smelly skunk was a world champion. He was the first animal to dive. No-one had noticed but there was a evil animal in the crowd. It was wizard lizard! Wizard lizard wanted to become king of the jungle. But the problem was that the old smelly skunk was already the king. Just before the smelly skunk dived off the diving board wizard lizard jumped out of the crowd and pushed the old smelly skunk off the edge. Wizard lizard laughed with glee! Old smelly skunk hit the edge of the waterfall but managed to cling on. After that accident he broke his leg and didn’t know weather anyone was going to laugh at him. That is why he never came out of his cave. Wizard lizard died ten years later and not a single animal went to his funeral. And that is the story of old smelly skunk.
