The Gift is a movie that was released in the year 2000, based on the events of a murder witnessed by a woman's fortune-telling. It's a thriller of which anyone could be the killer, they all have motives. In this rewrite that I am going to produce an animal-theme story that doesn't have death, but a kidnapping. This is my personal version of the film, without the vulgarity and nudity that may have gotten you stricken with horniness.
the Gift - the animal version
There once was an elephant named Annie,
who had quite a large fanny.
With ears so large
that she was in charge
of the village's safety brigade.
Annie had the largest ears of all the animals in the entire village. She could hear from here and there and everywhere else. Almost all of the animals liked Annie, except for Donnie the mole.
Donnie was stepped on while digging into the ground. He also had a wife named Valerie the mole, who was also a friend of Annie's. Valerie did not like what Donnie had to say about Annie."That elephant is up to no good!" as he would cry, "Her ears are so large that I can't get some privacy." As he would get angry, Valerie would just go out to visit Annie. What Annie would hear were the many voices and sounds that flowed throughout the village, stories, jokes and even secrets. She would tell the jokes to make people smile and laugh, but the secrets she heard were kept secret from others.
Annie had three elephant sons, Miller, Mike and Ben. They all liked to cause trouble and get into fights, until their mother has to put them in time-outs. One day, Annie had to see the school principal, for one of the boys started a food fight.
She said to the principal "Mr. Collins, I heard that you wanted to see me." Mr. Collins started at for a moment and then burst out with a laugh. After seconds of thinking of why he was laughing, he fell out of his chair as he dropped his hat. He finally stopped laughing and got back in his chair, he licked his whiskers and groomed his hair.
Mr. Collins then told Annie what Ben had done. She told him that he's upset because he lost his pet frog. While these two were talking, Ms. King walked into the room. Mr. Collins got up and walked over to Ms. King and asked "Hello Jessica, can introduce you to Annie?" Ms. King waved to Annie as she stepped out to get Ben.
That night, as Annie's three boys were sleeping, she walked to their beds, she said "goodnight" and gave them each a kiss on the head. After she went to bed, she awoke at 1 o' clock after having a bad dream. She thought she heard a scream from outside, but she laid in her bed and then didn't sleep a wink. In the morning as she woke up her three boys, she heard the phone ring as she stumbled past the toys.
Annie picked up the phone and said "Hello", there was a long silence and then she heard a voice. "Who is this?" Annie asked, "Annie, I am Mr. Johnson. I'm calling to tell you the missing of a Ms. Jessica King." Annie was shocked, "Did you say, Jessica King?" she asked quietly. Mr. Johnson answered "Indeed I did, ma'am. I heard that your ears can help us out in our search to find Ms. King." About half an hour later, Mr. Johnson came to Annie's home. He made a light knock on the door, nobody had heard it, so Mr. Johnson had to knock louder so that someone could hear that somebody is outside.
After a couple minutes of waiting, Annie finally noticed that someone was waiting outside, so she answered the door. She had looked around, but nobody was in sight. She heard a voice, but couldnt see anybody, "Down here" said Mr. Johnson. He was a rather short skunk, with a shiny gold badge and a small slingshot.
"May I come in, Annie?" Mr. Johnson asked. Annie said "It's kind of early for you to be on duty, isn't it?", Mr. Johnson replied "There never is the time to rest for the town sheriff." Several hours later, the search for Jessica King had gone throughout the entire town and throughout the forest. The search had gone on for about five days and six nights, without any luck.
At 10 o' clock the very next day, the search got to Donnie and Valerie's home and Donnie was not happy to hear about this. Donnie argued with Mr. Johnson that he can't search his home. Mr. Johnson said "As sheriff and head of the search team, I have full rights to search around your home for clues to Jessica King's whereabouts."
In the pond out front the water started to bubble, they all gathered around and stared. "Do you think she's in there?" Annie asked, Mr. Johnson said "I'm not sure, but we need to check if we haven't found her yet." All of a sudden, the bubbling had stopped, they all looked at each other. A small fish popped out from the water and the search team sighed.
Annie heard a sound from behind her and she called out "I think I know where Jessica is." She pointed her trunk towards an old tree and then they heard a scratching sound. The animals scratched and ripped away at the tree bark until it broke open. A mountain of acorns and walnuts spilled out, and on top of that was Jessica King, who was blindfolded. Jessica's father ran over in shock and cried out for her and then he threw his arms around her to hug.
As Donnie came up, he noticed all of the nuts scattered across the ground. He noticed that they found Jessica and he saw that his tree was falling apart. "What is this?" He asked, Mr. Johnson walked over to Donnie and said "Donnie Barksdale, you are under arrest for the kidnapping of Jessica King."
When they got to the Sheriff's office, Mr. Johnson asked Donnie some questions. "Did you kidnap Jessica King?" Mr. Johnson asked, Donnie answered "No, someone set me up." "Who do you think would try to set you up?" Mr. Johnson asked as Donnie looked at Annie. He said "I think that Annie did it." Mr. Johnson was starting to get angry, he walked over to Donnie and said "Mr. Barksdale, we have evidence that Annie was at her house at the time of the kidnapping."
Valerie walked into the Sheriff's office and told Mr. Johnson where he was that night. He turned to Donnie and chuckled "Mr. Barksdale, your wife here just told me where you were that night. You weren't at home, but you were out with Ms. Jessica King." Everyone else in the room had gasped, but Donnie didn't react to it. Donnie then told Mr. Johnson that he wasn't the kidnapper. Mr. Johnson said "Donnie, you had something to do with Jessica at the same time that she was kidnapped. Now, what is it?" Annie looked at Mr. Collins, who was starting to sweat and she thought that he might be hiding something. Annie then stood up and interrupted Mr. Johnson, "Mr. Johnson, I believe that Mr. Collins has something to say."
Everyone turned to the nervous Mr. Collins and asked him to tell them what he might know. After this long pause, he finally spoke "I kidnapped Jessica." Everyone except Annie and Mr. Johnson gasped, "Why did you kidnap Ms. King, Wayne Collins?" asked Mr. Johnson. Mr. Collins said "I saw her and Donnie outside of the school at 12:30 at night. He was giving her nuts, acorns and walnuts, acorns and walnuts, ACORNS AND WALNUTS!" Annie told Mr. Collins to calm down and then he continued, "After waiting for Donnie to leave, I had snuck up on her, tied her up and pushed her into the back of my car. I drove to Donnie's house and placed her inside the old tree after filling it with acorns and walnuts." Mr. Johnson put hand cuffs on Mr. Collins and said "Wayne Collins, you are under arrest for the kidnapping of Jessica King."
Annie left the Sheriff's office and all of the other animals yelled out "Annie, you're a hero!" as they tried to lift her off of the ground. What these animals didn't know was that she was really heavy and they couldn't hold her up. They ended up dropped her and she landed on all of them as they got squashed to the ground.
the End
