gabby & sluggo

all this talk about molemen & giant rats gave polly a nightmare!

last nite she dreamed she was being chased by the molemen & they were wearing long coats & they only had 3 fingers on each hand & one of them had a snake. mama had to wake her up. then she got her a bottle of water so polly would calm down. mama said you don't have to worry about the molemen because the lions in front of the library come to life at night & they've sworn to protect the city. they're very strong & not afraid of anything. not even the giant rats? polly asked. i'd like to see a rat even try to scare a lion! mama said. the lions are made of metal so you can't even bite or scratch them. do you know their names mama?

umm, mama paused. one's named sluggo, because he likes to fight... the other one is named gabby, because he likes to talk.

but polly was already asleep.
