CHAPTER
FIVE
_________________________
ROUND UP TIME...
So it was off to the local zoo to re-cage the animals. When we got
to the zoo there were animals everywhere. We looked into the tiger
cage to see the tigers huddled up in the center whimpering, and it
looked as if the monster babies were moving in for the kill (I think
I heard one of them screaming “TIGGER!!!.”)
We went back to Eddy’s house to get some supplies. We
got some butterfly nets, a few life preservers, a toy wagon, some
silly string, a toaster, some candy, and a blender (Hey third times
the charm).
Well after a little while we had managed to round up
most of the smaller animals and some of the slower large animals.
It was the more ferocious animals that we were worried about
however. The first of the more ferocious animals we encountered were
the polar bears. When we met them we acted like real hunters. We
screamed and ran around like chickens that just had there heads
chopped off! This of course only made those big scary polar bears
madder than they already were. They charged, Eddy and I tried to
scare them away Eddy sprayed silly string and I plugged in the
blender. But Eddy soon got scared (I mean wouldn’t you if you were
face to face with real live polar bears?) and started running in
circles and some of that silly string he was spraying went into the
open blender which was shot in the direction of the polar bears.
Since we had the terribly tender terrorizing teddies tied up at the
moment we decided to continue the hunt.
Next thing we saw was a bunch of rhinos (More in the
running & screaming department) but the rhinos had a little thing
about loud noise, actually they had a big thing about loud
noise. These rhinos weren’t acting very polite: first they weren’t
inviting their guests in, second they wouldn’t talk to us, and third
and most important they were trying to shishcobob their guests
(SHISCOBOB THEIR GUESTS!!!). That’s right, if we didn’t do
something fast we would look like walking talking Swiss cheese.
Since we wanted to “preserve our lives” we decided to put on the
life preservers. The rhinos were only ten feet behind us, five, two,
one.
WOOOOSSSSHHHHH!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
(That woosh was
the life preservers being punctured) (The ahhh was us flying through
the sky) The rhinos were really confused to see our Super man
imitation. We landed at the top of a hill. But we landed wagon
first, so naturally we started rolling, rolling towards our old
spike nosed buddies. “What do we do?!” I screamed. “I don’t know...
why don’t we hit the them with the butterfly nets” Eddy said.
We were pretty good shots, we knocked almost all of the rhinos into
unconsciousness. It must have looked pretty silly two kids ridding
a wagon down a hill hitting rhinos into unconsciousness with
butterfly nets. With a little bit of practice I got pretty good, I
tell ya if they ever have rhino whopping in the Olympics I’ll be
there. Every thing went pretty well until we got to old Fatso
down at the bottom of the hill, when we got to him Eddy and I both
put our nets it front of the wagon, and launched old Fatso about
twenty feet into the sky (But the real problem was when He started
to fall). “Abandon ship!!!” we screamed.
KASMASH!!!
Now all that was left was to recage all of those monsters. We soon
found them slithering around in the snake pit (Obviously junior had
chewed through the back wall). We had to figure out how to
capture those animals (And I don’t mean the snakes) with only a bag
of jelly beans and a toaster. We only had one choice, we had to push
the big bad huge and oh so sinister SNAKE RELEASE BUTTON.
When we pushed it a lot of red lights and sirens went on and the
Plexiglas walls slid down into the floor and the snakes slithered
around our feet (Of course we cried like little girls and ran around
while screaming “GET them off get them off!”). But we soon came to
are senses (That was when we were safely up on the observation
deck). After a few minutes I had finally found a use for the
toaster. We would use it as a sort of a blaster. By loading
the toaster with candy and letting it melt it would shoot out and
instantly harden. Since we were new at this we took out a couple
snakes but then after a little practice we finally got a couple of
the monsters. We escaped from the zoo, and thought we were in the
clear until a couple of low flying jet fighters flew overhead (The
suspicious part was when they dropped chocolate stew onto the
screaming people below). |
