Kitten Caboodle
They existed peacefully in unison, in balanced harmony with inclusive nature, enjoying the modest bounty of the land with humble reckoning and agile foresight.
Their species had known these comforts since time immemorial and everlasting, when a bold and crafty constructive divinity cleverly thought of a newfound plan.
He noted that the expansive landscape hadn't changed much in recent centuries, and thought that if one of his creatures had cultivating powers the resultant wilderness would be more dynamic.
In consultation with the chosen ones he clearly explained his wondrous plan, that they should henceforth build abundant dams with natural materials across the land.
Many of the chosen animals had requisite questions in curious response, the inquisitive characteristics of their postures respectfully admired by their master.
He laid out the efficient plan in erudite detail with effective musing, taking into animate account regional differences and personality conflicts.
Yet even though the plan seemed fine and in fact brilliant from many perspectives, there were still those amongst them who thought it foolhardy and supercilious.
They complained of the extra work and how it would conflict with nutrient acquisition, and lazing about in the hot sun on warm summer days ad infinitum.
The others pointed out that dam construction would ensure food throughout the winter, and the nearby lodge a place to stay that couldn't be accessed by wolves or bobcats.
Still they refused to believe longing to keep to the olden ways, and struggle if needs be from month to month and day to day.
And the divinity became fed up and indeed supernaturally decreed, that the species would be separated into different groups forever after.
The beavers would have a special tail and be given the miraculous gift, to venture forth throughout the land constructing dams for all and sundry.
The muskrats would keep the tail of a rat and never change throughout the centuries, in close resemblance to their ancient brethren yet less industrious over the millennia.
I always thought beavers got the idea to build dams and lodges from watching birds build nests. Isn't that true dad?
It might be little Timmy. Although I must admit, I really can't say.

Schizopolis
The _________ had made the Stanley Cup Finals again and people throughout the country were pumped. I was hoping they would pick up the underdog win and heavily cheered in their traditional favour. A friend texted one day with a question about their chances, but before I could answer I saw a turtle on the road. I picked the turtle up and helped him or her cross to the other side. But upon reaching the safe embankment, it turned around and scampered back whence he had come. I couldn't text my friend and state that this sign likely meant that ___________ was going to lose the series, I could only hope and pray I was wrong. Fortunately, I never told anyone about the prophetic turtle. It made things much easier when __________ lost and people were fuming mad.

Bedlambience
Cyclically fated to hesitantly contend, the animals of the forest aligned themselves en masse, within and without the town which they inhabited, as the habitual schematics of their natures mutated.
