The Great Beavers of Lore

Here's a little bit of silly piece based on a conversation I had with my girlfriend while walking in the forest. Enjoy.

The Great Beavers of Lore.
Walking through the woods there is always trees knocked over, cut at odd angles and even uprooted. Now when I tell you of what is to follow don’t be alarmed; although some of you may. What I tell you now is the secret between these fallen timbers. Don’t be fooled into thinking the destruction of these mighty oaks, soaring pines, and delicate birch is nature—oh no! This destruction is caused by the great green eyed beavers of legacy!
The beavers posses great height, often ten to twelve feet of it, and eyes as big as the full moon. The reason behind this is the way they cut down trees to form their great trapezoid shaped damns, which ironically are often confused as log jams on a river. They cut down trees with their massive size and the use of a laser like greenish orange ray emitted from their eyes.
We often can find no trace of these elusive creatures, other than what is obviously their handy work. This is because when they want to hide they can look exactly like a pile of dirt, or even some leaves in the bush—but don’t be fooled!
When you go walking in the woods tonight, don’t go and disbelieve your eyes. The teddy bears may be having a picnic, but the beavers will be out, so don’t be surprised.
