Thumping and Bumping

Freckles:

There I was, having a lovely dream about flowers and sunshine and eating lots of yummy dandelions, when a loud thump woke me from my sound sleep. I was instantly alert, every one of my senses questioning the sound. What could that noise be? I stayed where I was deep back in my cave and listened carefully. A lot of activity was going on in the Other World – all kinds of thumping and bumping sounds. Was that high-voiced one moving the boulders and trees again? No, these sounds were different. And there were voices -- voices I didn’t recognize.
