A Mother’s Day Mix: The Ambitious Millipede’s Mother’s Day Gift And The Clueless Vulture’s Valentine’s Day

In THE AMBITIOUS MILLIPEDE’S MOTHER’S DAY GIFT, an ambitious but forgetful millipede realizes what day it is at the last minute, which means that he doesn’t have a gift. His siblings don’t see a problem, advising him to give a simple hug, the very gift that each one of them is going to give. A hug? That’s too run of the mill for the ambitious millipede, and so he goes out to find a much, much better gift. Fortunately for him, not only is he ambitious, but he’s also clever, and he soon thinks of the perfect gift for his many-footed mother: shoes. Where, though, can he get his hands on some in a hurry? It’s a spiderweb that he happens upon that answers that question for him. Fortunately for him, not only is he ambitious and clever, but he’s also bold, and so he boldly asks a spider to sew him lots of shoes. The spider reluctantly agrees, but one spider alone won’t be able to make enough shoes in time, so the ambitious millipede has no choice but to go all around to get more spiders to volunteer their sewing services. Needless to say, the task takes all day and all night. But will it be worth it in the end? And in THE CLUELESS VULTURE’S VALENTINE’S DAY, a vulture tries to sell Valentine’s Day gifts in order to make a bundle off the holiday. However, things don’t turn out very well at all. For the clueless vulture’s merchandise, all of it coming from his scavenging, is much too strange: candies made of critter guts, balloons with strings made of critter tails, teddy bears stuffed with critter wings, and bouquets made of critter parts. But when the day is almost over and things are looking hopeless, an ornithologist stops by. Once he discovers the vulture’s true talent, he’s eager to make him a very unique career offer, which just might turn the vulture’s rotten day around.
