I'm on manny's back as we are traveling "look out!" an animal said "your going the wrong way!" another said "crazy mammoth and weasel!" yes I'm a weasel my fur is all white with black on the tip of my tail

"Hey do the world a favor and move your issues off the road!!" an animal said

"If my truck was that small i wouldn't draw attention to myself pal" Manny said

"hey G-give me a break we... we've been waddlin' all day" the animal said

"oh go ahead follow the crowd it'll be quieter when you're gone" Manny said


"eh c'mon if they want to freeze to death let them" the animal said

"i think you scared him" i said as i sat on one of his tusks he smiled at me

"that was the point" he said i put my paw to my mouth laughing

we were walking when we see a sloth run and hide behind Manny I'm still on his tusk

"hey!" Manny said

"just pretend I'm not here" the Sloth said

i looked at Manny confused he just shrugged

we see two Rhinos

"aw man i wanted to hit him at full speed!" one of them said

"that's okay we'll still have fun with him" the other said

the sloth stays hidden behind manny

"Don't let them impale me please i wanna live!" the sloth said

i face palmed

"Get off of me" Manny said

"Come on you're making a scene" one Rhino said

"Ah-huh we'll just take our furry pioata and go if you don't mind" the other said

"hey buddy if it's not them today it's just someone else tomorrow" manny said

"Yup" i said

"well I'd like rater not be today" the sloth said

"look we're gonna break your neck so you don't feel a thing how is that" One Rhino said

"Wait a minute i thought Rhinos were vegetarians" I asked

"an excellent point" the sloth said

"Shut up" Manny said to him

"who said we're gonna eat him after we kill him" the other Rhino said

"yeah come one move it" the other said

"You know i don't like animals that kill for pleasure" Manny said

I scurried up onto Manny's back

"Save it for a mammal that cares" One Rhino said

"Im a mammal that cares" The Sloth said

"Okay look if either of you make it across the sinkhole in front of you you get the sloth" Manny said

"that's right you losers! you take one step and you're dead!" i watch the sloth throw a rock and it bounces i face palm the rock lands in front of the Rhinos " you were bluffing huh" the sloth said

"yeah yeah that was a bluff" Manny said

"Get 'Em!" the Rhino's yelled

"WAHOO! WE DID IT! WE DID IT! what what he's holding on to Manny's trunk while I'm holding his tusk "you have beautiful eyes" the Sloth said

"Get off my face" Manny said

"whoa you me and her make a great team say why don't we just head south together" the Sloth said

I'm sitting on Manny's tusk with my arms crossed

"great jump on my back and relax the whole way" Manny said sarcastically

"wow really" the Sloth said

"No" i said

"wait aren't you going south the change of seasons migration instincts any of this a-ringin a bell" The sloth said

"I guess not bye" Manny said

"Okay then thanks for the help i can take it from here" the Sloth said

i look back at the cliff where i see the Rhino's

"you overgrown weasel wait till we get down there" they said to him like he looks like me i thought

"that south thing is way overrated the heat the crowds who needs it isn't this great you me her three mammals knocking about the wild" the sloth said

"No you just want a bodyguard so you don't become somebody's side dish" Manny said i nodded as I'm still sitting on his tusk

"your a very shrewd mammal okay lead the way Mr Big... didn't get the names" he said

"Manfred" Manny said

"Hope" i said

"Manfred Yuck how about Manny the moody mammoth or Manny the Melancholy...Manny the.."
