Travels of Thelonious

By: Nicholas Ross

Thelonious is a young chipmunk, who knows his legends. He’s just learning how to read. He’s also interested in human life. His sister, Dolores, is a caring chipmunk that worries about Thelonious’ safety.

People He Met During the StoryHe meets Fitzgerald a

porcupine, Olive (The flying bear), and Brown the annoying lizard.

Settings

Problem\Solution (RAIN!)

There’s heavy rain outside, and Thelonious lives right by a river. Dolores wants him to leave for his safety, but he

refuses to leave. His tree falls over, and he ends up not knowing where he has landed;

he is lost. In the mist, he can see a bear wearing a skirt. That was strange to him. He grabs onto some wood, and drifts to land.

Problem\Solution (CRASH!)

The velicopter crashed, what do they do? Thelonious remembers part of the map which

thankfully saved the day for the group. First, they needed to find a bear rock but for some reason they

couldn’t find one. They asked him if he was sure it said bear rock. In his reply he spelled it B-A-R-E, then

they understood the problem. Thelonious had thought “bear” and “bare” had the same meaning. So they found a rock that was pretty bare, and looked to see if there was anything. Olive found a hole so she stuck here claw in, and a secret door slid open. They

had started their journey to fog mound.

Problem\Solution (Lost in Fog)

Inside there was a shining rock, so Olive picked it up. They continued through the tunnel. Soon they

noticed they were by a waterfall, or the waterfall entrance. They walked right behind the waterfall.

They reached a two way tunnel. So they picked a way, and went off into the tunnel. “Bwoo, bwoo” said

Thelonious then they started coming up with other silly words that rhyme. Well, everyone besides Brown.

Brown was creeped out by them all. Brown smelt something like peppermint in the air. Then suddenly

he realized it was the fog.

Problem\Solution(CRASH!) Continued

Brown had remembered something that Olive had told them, that the fog lured you deeper, and deeper, until you fall into a deep sleep. So, Brown said, “Let’s get out of here!”, but they didn’t come. So, he tricked them, and said, “Let’s do the bwoo, bwoo dance this way,” and luckily it worked.
