Platypus Plans a Muddy Mansion

A cheerful platypus leans back, tail stretched out behind him, and flashes a wide, wiggly grin. In his left paw, he lifts a leafy stick high like a magic wand—ready for work or maybe a leafy snack. His right paw hugs a clipboard close. On the paper, a crayon drawing shows a fancy tunnel with water winding through, just like the platypus’s dream burrow.

Every tuft of fur and webbed toe looks ready for digging or doodling. His eyes close in joyful concentration, and a wave of happy lines roof his head. With that broad beak and crisscrossed tail, he looks proud of his plan and maybe a bit silly. Dots of grass dance around his feet, waiting for color, in this bright moment of platypus creativity.
