Annabella, Your Kindness was Couched in Some Blindness

Your participation in Destination Station is 100% voluntary and not at all required. Just have fun!
This is my story!
1. Annabella wasn't an easy toddler. When her mom needed to put her in her play yard to clean up a bit or take a shower Annabella would strike a fit, banging her head against the sides until she was released. She grew, however to become the sweetest little girl in Teapotterville. She was precocious in her ability to empathize with others and could feel when someone was sad and needed a bit of cheering up.
2. Annabella loved animals too. Her favorite outing was to the dog park to watch the pooches play. When her parents decided that she was old enough, they let Annabella get a dog and a cat. She was such a good caretaker, filling food bowls, walking her dog, and even emptying the litter box (most days!)
3. For her birthday, her parents surprised Annabella with a trip to the Big City zoo. Annabella giggled at the antics of the monkeys and the size of the capibaras. She stood in awe at the enormity of the elephants and giraffes and the majesty of the lions. She wanted to cuddle the kangaroos and koalas...but inside was a little sad for them all. Deep inside she remembered feeling trapped in her own cage and couldn't imagine what it was like never to get out.
4. Annabella saw a zookeeper and managed to relieve him of his keys. One by one Annabella release all 42,000 of the animals from their pens...the gentle and fluffy and the gigantic and ferocious. The zoo patrons ran screaming for the gates and the zookeepers were running about, trying to keep predator from prey. What a mess! Annabella your kindness was crouched in some blindness! It's no longer safe here - we need to escape, Dear!
5. Well I guess you've figured out that this is where we come in, Teapotters! Get out your lariats and muck boots and help us to round up all of these critters and restore order to this place!
Here is a little musical inspiration for you:

Marie, you certainly know how to tell a great story. So sorry to hear about Kim's dad. I would gladly make a card to send along, but I'm on a new laptop and haven't received my microsoft office software yet, so I am unable to download any cards.
