A - Z Challenge: "R" is for River: "Rustic River Rhino"

During the month of April, I am participating in the Blogging From A-Z April 2012 Challenge, where we post everyday except for Sundays. I have decided to make flashcards for the letter of the day out of my photos, and then use the picture as a writing prompt.   I am using my Thesaurus to make a story out of words beginning with the letter "R", and to have it make sense.  I have no idea of the twists and turns that it will take and usually crack myself up when I am all through.  Hope these little ditties make you laugh too.  The whole list of my A-Z posts are all listed on the top of the left-hand sidebar.   

Thank you for your visit, and please come back again tomorrow! I'll be by to visit those who leave me comments, and also visit as many others as I can. If you like what you see, please feel free to become my newest follower. ~ Kathy M.

"Rustic River Rhino"
by Kathy Matthews

Rebecca Robinson resided in Rickreall, but was relaxing at the regal Rustic River Resort (near Redmond) for a bit of recreation.  

A raven flew over the Rustic River, and Rebecca's razor sharp retinas recognized a rhinoceros among the rapids.  Redmond was certainly not a native region for rhinoceros!  Rebecca regarded the animal with regret and rejection, as she refrained from panic. 

Rebecca recruited her relative as a witness, red-hot and rich Rita, a refugee from Roseburg.  Rita was also an animal researcher.  Rita reasoned, "We need to get that thing onto a reserve, Rebecca." 

The two called the authorities, who promptly responded to the rhino-in-the-river call.  Sheriffs pulled up in a Rolls Royce and a Range Rover pulling a trailer.  The rhino was treated with respect as it retreated on rigorous legs; roaring in protest.  The capture was risky but successful, and soon the rhinoceros was placed into a railroad car without rioting and rolled away toward the reserve. 

The End.

I actually took the picture above and others at La Pine State Park.  If you would like to read the post about The Donald G. McGregor Memorial Viewpoint, please "CLICK HERE".

Kathy, this would be a tongue twister if you can't roll your 'rs'

LOL, Bob! That is funny. I guess it is best read not outloud.
