Groundhog Fourth of July

The groundhogs decided to have a little gathering in the backyard in honor of the fourth. Granted, their parties are fairly sedate in comparison to bunny gatherings, but still. One of their little groundhog guests showed up in a taxi and then that pesky little thing expected ME to pay his fare! I happen to know he was on a perfectly good bus line, and he should have taken that instead! He claims it was closed for the holiday, so the taxi was really needed, but I'm not so sure. I think he just didn't want to take public transportation.
