Drinking the liquid from the bottle has you shutting up like a spyglass, shrinking faster than you can say “checkmate!”
You grab the key to stick in the lock, and the door swings opens after a soft click. Stepping through, you find yourself on top of a hill with a spectacular view of glistening water, and lush green mountains in the distance.
The sky is filled with puffy white clouds, and there are flies flitting up and down the hill. Some look like rocking horses with wings, others resemble slices of bread and butter.
As beautiful as it is, your attention is piqued by the slow drawl of a song being wailed from somewhere behind you.
Assuming someone must have come into the Heart's ‘room with the bench,’ you jump to close the door before anyone catches you there, but find it nowhere to be found, and the key you had moments ago has poofed away.
“
Hrmph,” you grumble discontentedly, having believing you could go back to the tea gathering right away if you wanted to.
Beyond where the door would have been, you see a beach not far off, and decide to head in that direction instead, toward the sounds of singing.
It’s a gurgling sound, to put it politely, but the melody is quit pleasent, and you find the lyrics rather interesting.
Making it to the beach, your brow furrows together as you witness an odd creature bubbling out their song, while surrounded by extraordinarily large lobsters who are dancing the quadrille in a circle around them.
A ‘turtle’ is close enough to what you’d call the singing thing, though perhaps “Mock Turtle” would be a more appropriate name. Its face, tail, and hind hooves resemble a cow, with flippers in front, and a great big shell on its back.
“My, my,” is all you can say as you witness the number play out.
Task:
Using
120 words or more, relay whatever
Lyrics you hear from the Mock Turtle’s song, including at least four of the following words:
Reeling,
Writhing,
Ambition,
Distraction,
Uglification, and
Derision.
Alternatively you may contribute a
Spill The Tea research piece in
120 words or more, sharing interesting, unusual, or little known facts in your own words about any person throughout history.
This task is worth
15 beans, with an additional
15 bonus beans for completing all Week Two tasks by end of activity.
Deadline is 11:59pm (HOL time) on Sunday April 30th.
