The hole

I dug a hole in my backyard. I sat down in the hole. I fell asleep.

I woke up and it was night. A racoon, badger, ferret, koala, fox, a family of mice, a possum, garden snake, and six squirrels were cuddled up against me, sleeping and snoring. I didn’t want to wake them, so I went back to sleep.

When I woke in the morning, all the critters were gone. I got out of the hole and put the dirt back in.
