“ Paulie, an  awesome Trumpet player!”
...............................................................................................................................

......Then Mrs. Rhonda thought about taking advice from grandma Matina, the oldest and wisest of the herd. Grandma Matina had been a tracker for years and knew how to lead the herd away from dangerous paths. She had seen too much in her life and was respected by the whole herd!

So, Mrs. Rhonda left and in a while arrived at grandma Matina’s doorstep.

Grandma Matina opened the door and warmly greeted her, yelling loudly with her trunk: <turui-rui!>.

“My dear Rhonda am I glad to see you again!”

“Same here!” Said Mrs. Rhonda answering loudly :<turupam-turupam!!> And they tightly tangled their trunks together!

“Sit, dear! Said grandma Matina. Just give me a minute to gather my hook and lace and to make coffee for us to drink while we talk.”

Mrs. Rhonda sat on the big violet pillow, next to the window with the white embroidered curtains.

She reached with her trunk and grabbed a crispy freshly baked cookie.

After letting a long sigh, she started to talk about the problem of young and sensitive Paulie.

Grandma Matina listened intently!

She kept her big gray ears stretched out and her smart blue eyes wide open.

Every once in a while she went: “Hmmm… Hmmmm….” Thoughtfully, scratching her wrinkled forehead with her long trunk...

“Oh my dear Rhonda, I found a solution, and it is so, so simple!”....................................................

...The time of the premiere finally arrived and little Paulie put on his light blue bowtie for his first formal try!!

He took a deep breath and, unfolding his plump trunk, shouted with all his strength:

“Turu-zabatazuza, Turu-zabatuzazu!!!!”

“Heeeeeeelp!!” Yelled max and Ronnie along with the whole ant gang and at once ran out of their nest, as far as they could!

“Quickly! Gather all your stuff; it’s time we flee from this tree of mayhem!” Said max, and Ronnie sighed:

“Oh dear!! My head is throbbing so much as if someone played the drums inside my ear!!

The good old quiet days are gone! What are we going to do NOW?”.....................................
