Getting ready for Geronimo

Maccaroon knew that Geronimo would need some help because he was doing projects for our Lord. He happened to know another runt of a litter and that was Henry the Rabbit. They had been friends since they were born because their mother's took special time to teach them how to get along in the forest. They used to romp and play together while their mothers chatted about different thing Everyone asked Maccaroon how he got the spelling of his name and he readily explained that his name was Mac(first name)ca(second name)and roon (last name)Maccaroon sent a message to Geronimo stating he had recruited some help for when he came down again. Henry was a quiet little rabbit unlike his noisy siblings. They put their heads together to decide how to greet Geronimo the next time. Henry so wanted to impress him. Henry was going to gather some carrots but Macaroon had never seen Geronimo eat anything. He knew that when he visited some children their mother fixed peanut butter and honey sandwiches, but Geronimo said he didn't eat anything. They discarded the food idea. So they drew a map showing the place of Cobblers Apprentice ( He was a Leprechaun) and might be a relative. Seems Henry was now an orphan because his Mom and Dad were trapped by a poacher. Henry was a wonderful painter with his nose and whiskers. Macaroon made a frame, from some sticks.. They were now ready!!!! Oh wait they better talk to the cobbler and see if he was receptive to a visit. One of the forest people had told them about Jacob but never having met him they decided to pay him a visit. At first he seemed very distant and not to friendly. But Maccaroon being friendly and outgoing was able to warm him up especially when he described the purpose of their intrusion on his time. He was anxious to meet Geronimo for he had no relatives either except in the old country. Business was very slow so perhaps he could make Geronimo a pair of shoes. Maccaroon thought--- What a wonderful gift that would be for his friend. Maccaroon rubbed his head and thought what more could they do ??? Seems now things were in order. He would not send an e-mail instead let this all be a surprise.
