Story #58

Squirrel was nervous. He was being rushed through corridor after corridor, signing papers and getting sized up by Earth's grunt workers. Porcupine in front of him wasn't fairing any better, nor was Tarantula behind him. "Stand up tall," came the command. He lifted himself as high as he could go. The worker smirked at him. "Is that all ya got?" More corridors. More tests. Finally he was brought before Earth herself. "Raise your tail and bend over," the worker grunted. He did so. There was a slight gasp from Earth, then silence. "Nice testes," she said, "Your species will do just fine."
