Over sweeping meadows,
Under the rickety bridge,
Wanders a lonely Kau
Known by every village.

Lonely? Not with a herd?
Isn't that odd?
You would think
This "KAU" was a fraud!

Well then, who is he?" You marvel again.
And why would he meander so?
But Lonely Kau merely grumbles,
Oh, it's JUST this dream I follow!

Directed by a nagging instinct,
Chasing after a fickle whim,
But day after day without success?
Renders hopes grimmer than grim.

All for one grazing pasture,
Of which any Kau should dream,
Rolling fields of vibrant flora
Where trickle joyous streams!

Dew sparkling like diamonds
On a plot of grass will do!
My, MY, what a scrumptious meal--
Oh! Ah! If only someone knew!

Will it be here?
Or will it be there?
No one knows--
It could be anywhere!

This turf might be right!
That patch just looks SO bright!
No, no," to himself the Kau replies,
It's not to my delight.

Week by week,
Month by month
The narrowest ravines,
Widest canyons--have none.

Finally Kau Day comes,
And nothing proves the same.
Discovery of one such site
Swathes the now merry Kau with fame!

Hidden in Meridell Valley,
Kissed by both sun and moon,
Sprawls a countryside of emerald
Enough to make you swoon!

Wildflowers blooming everywhere,
Red, yellow, green, and blue,
Could it be? A RAINBOW MEADOW!
Everything a wish come true!

Well, surely you can guess the rest--
What more is there to say?
The End,
And have a dreamy Kau Day!

Dear TNT (I don't know to whom else should I address this exigency),

Hello there, I'm Puuuurple, the senseless striped Kau, and my owner is chatmax. Nice to meet you. Apparently, a thunderstorm brewed up suddenly as I was heading for the Carnival of Terror. NONE of the inhabitants here will allow me to take shelter in their "home" (although dining table is more like it)! Maybe because I don't look edible enough compared to other Neopets. COUGH-Chias-COUGH. My best bet as to who will help me is Edna, but she won't admit me into her tower unless I complete her quest. Anyway, how am I supposed to get anywhere, let alone BUY anything for her quest, in this storm? So, please dispatch a Phear Coffee to Edna. Now, I have nothing to do but to mutter my continuous whines, so please read on for my sake. Meuka's snot is doing quite well as my ink. It just keeps OOZING. I could write on forever to you, my friend... WAIT. Rewind. MEUKA'S ink? How did I get ahold of that? That means? OH NO! Meuka is hovering on the branch right over my horns! HELP-

Wish you were here sooner,
Puuuurple
