Collecting Old Carpets

Saharah was in town today, looking for old carpets.

Saharah: Your old carpets, you will bring them to me, yes?As I made my way around Forest, I stopped at the river to fish out a large shadow. It turned out to be an arowana, which is worth 10,000 bells.

Fang: Well, you came knocking at the right time. I was just about to drag this rug over to her myself! It's all yours!Bunnie didn’t have a carpet for me, but when I spoke to her again after she told me no, she got very defensive. Apparently, she thought that I thought she was lying.

Bunnie: What are you accusing me of? I may be messy at times, but I'm not hiding anything!Twiggy had an old carpet for me, as did Bud. But Bud didn’t realize that the “Eyelash Lady” actually had a name!

Bud: So, that lady with the huge eyelashes is Saharah? All this time I've been calling her "Eyelash Lady"!I couldn’t ask Cousteau for old carpets, because he was still sick with a cold. I did buy him some more medicine, however.

Cousteau flips in the air as he takes his medicine.Still, I ended up with three old carpets, which is very good. Most of the time, I’m lucky to get two of them. So I took the three carpets back to Saharah, and she gave me a basement floor. Very disappointing.

Saharah: Here...a basement floor. Very exotic... Treasure it. It is a very rare thing.She’s crazy. She thinks a basement floor is very exotic?! That floored me!

Mallary on the Move

It’s loooong overdue, but Mallary finally told me she’s planning on moving out of town! Yes! Get the duck out of town! I’ve been waiting 13 long months for this.

Mallary: If not forever, that means I'll be moving eventually. So, do you think I should just get it over with now? Me: Please go.Broccolo the mouse was sad and heartbroken tonight, all because he really wanted some shortcake and he didn’t have any. But you’re a mouse. Wouldn’t you prefer cheesecake?

Broccolo, heartbroken: Aw, shortcake... Why are you never around when I need you most, toasty?And Cousteau the French frog was sick with a cold. I bought some medicine for him; hopefully he’ll be hopping around again soon.

Cousteau flips as he takes some medicine.

Dampened Spirits

It was raining in Forest tonight. Bud was not a fan of the drippy stuff.

Bud: Rain is lame, Boy J. It's all wet, and drippy, and...wimpy, maaan.Up on the cliff above my house, Static was asking where I got the money to put in a basement. It’s best not to ask about what I put in the ground, if you get my drift.

Static: You got stocks? Or turnips? Buried treasure? Just been squirrelling away bells on the side?In the roost, I found Mallary enjoying a cup of coffee. Not surprisingly, she was also gossiping.

Mallary: Hey, Boy J. You would not BELIEVE the tacky couple I saw in here the other day!While I was there, I asked K.K. to sing a random song for me. He performed K.K. Salsa. Now I just need some K.K. chips.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Salsa.When I visited Kitt, she was a bit rude to me. She asked if my interests included staring at a wall.

Kitt: Really? What do you do when you're not running errands, child? Stare at a wall?Yeah, I’m staring at the wall to imagine where to mount a kangaroo head.

Seems like my villagers weren’t in the best mood tonight. I’m expecting them to cheer up by next time. Or else.
