Sounds Like: THE LEGEND OF SELMA THE FRIZZLY HAIR ____________________ High up in the northwest mountains lives a solitary beast with huge powerful claws, long floppy ears and a fuzzy tail: Frizalus Domesticus—known commonly as a frizzly hair. Its thick coat is white and fluffy and sticks up a bit after long naps. Native to the northwest mountain region of the moon, frizzly hairs have grown accustomed to regular habits. These consist mostly of digging for grubs to eat, preying, sleeping and splitting into two. ____________________ Frizzly hairs are neither girls nor boys (though a masculine pronoun is conventionally used to substitute all proper names). Thus one may be left scratching one’s chin upon encountering the phrase "how’s your grandmother—he’s fine" when combing through frizzly hair history. Despite the androgyny, frizzly hairs reproduce at an alarming rate. The reason for this is that they split into two periodically. ____________________ The cause of a split is generally taken to be the long bouts of giggling that frizzly hairs frequently find themselves fighting. ____________________ Frizzly hairs are highly religious creatures. When they are not eating grubs, napping, or giggling they use their strong precise claws to produce elaborate totem poles. The totem poles depict frizzly hair gods. Since all of the frizzly hair gods depicted on the poles are various species of grubs, which tend not to vary to the untrained eye, variety in the pole carving art world of the frizzly hair is certainly wanting. ____________________ Most of the religious parables depicted on the totem poles are either about how certain types of grub gods are pleased and bountiful at certain times of the year, or about how they are angry and scarce. ____________________ Most of the poles tell the same story, which is about how frizzly hairs give birth. There does arise some conflict in regards to minor contradictions among certain details that come up from pole to pole, but the common elements of the story are normally given as follows: ____________________ Selma had been bouncing around for days, giggling nonstop and swelling up like an agitated Sealot. If anyone failed to notice the fact that he was about to split, he quickly removed doubt by jumping up and down and laughing hysterically. ____________________ After a week, Selma had chuckled himself dry. Poking through the tall grass with the hiccups hard upon his heals, Selma hopped desperately for a drink. As the pond was the closest thing he could find, thick, mossy water would have to do. ____________________ When Selma reached the mossy pond for a big drink he looked down at his thick reflection in the cloudy water and saw that there were two of him. Both Selmas reached their paws into the pond and lapped up a huge mouthful, chewing the algae and scum as they drank. ____________________ The last image on the pole is of both Selma’s, heading over to the nearest tree, pushing it down, and carving this very story carefully upon it. ____________________ ____________________ ____________________
