New York- a fearsome place

The New York, a big city, three friends were forced to land there. They really didn´t know what to expect from it, they didn´t know all the dangers that were lurking for them in a big city. The biggest threat of course are the rats, big fat rats. There are are lots of big rats, rats as big as cats can be quite dangerous because they are intelligent creatures and can bite very hard. When they avoid the rats they should be fine, unless the sandman comes. Sandman is a creature what everybody know but nobody has ever seen. It can be called as a mythical creature who has been in new york for hundreds and hundreds of years. There´s sand everywhere it has been and and therefore everyone is looking for sand when they are moving in the dark, because sand means in the dark alley means almost certain death. In winter it´s actually kind of useful, when the streets are covered with ice, the sand loses ice´s slippery effect. But I would rather slip on ice than be eaten by sandman. The red dot, bear, and fox had no idea where to go, so they started walking in direction that seemed most logical, the direction a sand trail was going. The central park was a nice place in the concrete jungle, a little green island. The beautiful birds were singing, little mushrooms were dancing, green grass was humming, and trees were....well.... stoned. Fresh greenhouse gas was in the air, how lovely, travel companions took a seep breath and followed the trail, which was pretty curvy, it took them deep in the park, where were drunk hobos, and trees with red eyes and scary branches, it looked like they were cursed. Our travelers were very brave (naïve I would say), they were marching on, right up to the sandman who was already waiting for them. The Sandman was actually a lonely creature with little joy in his life, he was forced to retreat so far in the park, because everybody was thinking that he was responsible for all the missing people, but actually all that was done by was done y general pollution. The world don´t know that pollution makes 1 person out of a million crazy and runs away in unknown direction usually killing himself. The Sandman sandman was deeply sad, he had no friends, no one to love and no one who loves him, he had nobody but himself. He was aware of the travelers who were moving towards him, he put the kettle going and poured cookies in the bowl. He was planning a traditional english tea party, hoping the travelers appreciate his effort and join it. The dot, bear and fox walked up to the tea table and were surprised, the Sandman was waiting for them, and offered them to sit down and have a cup of tea. Travelers took a moment and discussed the offer, it seemed pretty unusual but the Sandman was nice, at least seemingly. They sat down round the table, Sandman introduced himself and so did the others. They drank pink tea with green undertone, it was Sandman´s special recipe what he kept in secret. It was a nice tea place, comfy chairs round a table made of natural wood, the dot had never drank tea before and therefore couldn´t say if the tea is good or bad but she surely enjoyed it and made a smile on sandman´s face. Sandman asked what were they doing in New York, red dot then told him everything about the pink apple and the progress they had done this far. The Sandman heard about the pink apple for the first time and couldn´t help them to find it, he could only say that it is not in New York because he had been everywhere in New York. It was already dusk, it was time to go and say goodbye to the sandman, he was happy now. He had a nice evening with creatures who do not think he is a vicious man-eater. He now knows that there are good people in world, people who care and think different.

The Empire State building

Everyone was preparing for the trip, the bear was catching mushrooms to keep the mood up, the dot was gathering soft material for something to sleep on and the fox was setting the plane ready for start. The bear was pretty frustrated, mushrooms are so fast and smart these days, he had to watch out for not being the pray itself. There were all sort of hi-tec traps in the forest floor, bananathrowers hidden in tree trunks, marshmallow gunner on top of a big oak, cotton candy traps, and so on.... The red dot wasn´t having better times, there weren't many softer things in the forest, she had only found one pillow and two blankets so far, but they need three from each. The fox on the other hand was on the fly, tanking the plane, checking tire pressure, checking oil-level and overall checking everything. The dot found another pillow and thought that they could take turns sleeping or then share and went back to the plane, bear was already there with a  big bag of mushrooms, he was covered in cotton candy, strawberrysirup and marshmallows. He was kind of pink now, his beatiful white fur was all pink, fox laughed at him and told him to take a shower in the river. The was not very fascinated of the shover idea, he had always taken baths. Baths with pink roses and bubbles, the water in the river was cold and didn´t have any bubbes at all. He found some white powder and decided to roll himself in it, in order to not take a shower, he hoped that nobody will notice it.
They were all on the plane and ready ro take off, luckily there was an old military airfield nearby, which they could use. The fox was very self-confident, he believes that he is the best pilot in the world, altough he has never flown with an aeroplane before. The others didn´t know it, but i´m sure they wouldn´t worry even if they know. They had their full trust in that little fox, who was the first time in his life, happy.
They had now been flying for almost three hours, and there were no hints of empire state building, also they saw that nobody has cleaned the plane and there were skeletons of previous owners on board. The fox didn´t mind it but little red dot was upset, "sharing a plane with skeletons", she said. She asked the bear to throw them out, but he was too busy knitting. He knitted mittens, beatiful mittens with eigth white dots. The red dot had to do it herself, she took a shovel and started pushing the sekeletons to the door, she didn´t like it at all. For the situation ta not get too creepy she started talking to the skeleton, it actually seemed pretty dumb at the moment, but believe it or not, it was dumb when they later thought of it. But neverthless, now the dot was happier, but the plane was still pretty dirty, dust rolls under the seat, on the seat,on the table, under the tale, the ceiling was covered with spiderwebs, mud and cottoncandy, pink cottoncandy to be precise. The dot wasn´t happy, she would like to sit on clean seat, but that is impossible, so she become dirty and unhappy. the seats were overall nice and comfy, blue velvet with red stripes on the sides but no cup holders this sign indicates that the plane is not made or designed in the U.S.
It was sunset and they finally noticed the epire state building, the majestetic building that once was tallest in the world. Now it was somewhat old and and flanel. They were approaching it, everything was so beatiful, the sunset, sunlight was dancing between the scyscrapers like a ballerina. They couldn´t land on the building and used binoculars to look for the pink apple, but didn´t find it, even when they had done 10 circles around it. Suddenly the fox said they were going out of fuel, plane needed land, soon. Only flatter land on the horizont was central park, since the fox was a brilliant pilot he knew it is landable. "It´s going to be a little bumpy, but we survive" he said and started landing procedures, wheels out, nose up, and landed it was, trees were hurt but they didn´t mind. They were high on greenhouse gases. The little red dot, a polar bear, and a fox were now in big city, on their own, nobody knows what they do there next.

Mushrooming

The dot and the polar bear were walking nicely on the road, weather was kinda "pinkish" even they didn´t realise what it meant but so it was. Trees were unusually quiet today, that could mean only one thing, "MUSHROOMS". Yes the juicy, sweet, hallucinating mushrooms. That was a very useful discovery, maybe the mushrooms could help them find the pink apple and if they don´t, they can always eat them and have a good time. So mushrooms are hiding somewhere nearby, mushrooming needs quite a lot of skill, but luckyli the polar bear had been mushrooming before, in arctic. He took up a scent and and started following the trail, the trail was pretty long and curvy, seemed as it is endless. Polar bear was pretty frustrated by all that, because his passion is actually knitting, not hunting mushrooms in forest. He would knit all day long if he could get some knitting supplies.
Suddenly they saw a beatiful young mushroom it was about 30cm tall, yellow hat, pale skin and one big foot , that would be a nice catch. In order to catch mushrooms they need to sneak up to it behind it´s back, and then grab it by the foot, mushrooms have a strong foot and could easily play a serious threat, but this one was an easy catch, mostly because it had eaten some chokeberries before and as quite stoned. The dot put it in the bag and let it clear itself head.

The next morning was cold and wet, they neede to hide in an old boat shed. It was pretty fallen apart and somewhat dangerous, but better than in the rain. Red dots apparently hate rain. They lost their mind if they stay in the rain for too long, and they certainly don´t need a blood thirsty big and a hairy red dot. Luckyli the mushroom could be useful now. The dot asked it about the apple. The mushroom took a moment or two to think, and said that the sparrow might be able to help them, apparently sparrow has traveled very much and has great knowledge about the world. Unfortunately he is rarely home, always on the move, looking for interesting sights and valuable knowledge. The red dot then told that they go to the sparrow when the rain is over. Meanwhile the polar bear got bored, and started sniffing around, he found an old aeroplane. IT was beatiful, sparkling silver with red stripes and crystal clear windows, what were obviously covered in spiderwebs and dust, but the spider webs and the dust was crystal clear. An overall nice plane, it could definetly fly after some mending. Suddenly, there was a noise, a fox came out of the plane. A big fox, orange and with white tale-tip, he would definetly be a very typical fox if there wouldn´t be one little thing, the fox had a cape. He somewhat thought that he is a superhero or something, it was his dream of life to fly, fly over the empire state building. That could be the much needed experience for him to survive, in his dangerous commitment to do good. He is very soft inside and couldn´t say "no" to a creature in need of a helping paw. When he herad that the polar bear and the red dot were in search of a pink apple, he offered them his help, "in a plane you can travel much faster and longer distances", he said. The dot was happy that they had found such a good and helping creature. THe dot said that they can look at the empire state building, meybe the apple is there, fox was very pleased for it. Now there was three travelers in search of a pink apple, a dot, a bear and a fox. To celebrate their union in finding the pink apple, they eat the mushroom, and were happy for quite a some time.
