Journal #2 - Hospitiality

Once upon a time, not so far away from here, there lived a little family of moles. The moles lived in a little network of tunnels under the Hermes' house. There were other animals of course that lived in the neighborhood and the moles were liked by all. They were known for being a kind and respectful family. Every year the other animals would look forward to the mole's annual harvest party. The party was a tradition and was the last time the animals got to see each other before they went into hibernation for the winter. All of the same animals were invited as the previous years, however, there was a beaver that had recently moved into the woods near the Hergenrother's house. Now the moles were very hospitable, so as expected, they invited beaver to their annual Harvest party. The days passed and the weather slowly got colder. Finally it was time for the party. The animals filed into the mole's house and and began to partake in the festivities. Everyone was laughing, eating and having a wonderful time until Beaver showed up. Unlike all of the other animals, Beaver was rude and showed no respect. At first, everyone tried not to notice, but after awhile the animals were tired of Beaver and told him that he had to leave. As Beaver walked out of the moles' little tunnel, he realized that because he was rude and disrespectful none of the other animals wanted to be his friend. Beaver decided that he would go and apologize to the moles and all the other animals. Beaver said that he was very sorry for being that way and promised never to do it again. From then on, everybody loved Beaver and the party was fun again, and continued to be for many, many years. The End.
