thats really good and interesting Toby! ^_^
this is a little short story I wrote one day
Quite a crazy tale(yeah I need a better title!)
by Me
The sun shone brilliantly, hanging in the middle of a bright blue blanket. Under its rays resided a penguin sitting in the middle of a lush grassy sea.
Now you may be thinking 'what is a penguin doing in the middle of a meadow?' I will simply ask you, why can't a penguin sit in the middle of a meadow? With that out of the way we shall continue!
The penguin, whose name was Archibald, sat on his homemade black and red quilt. He sat by himself watching the clouds go by while sipping on his highly sweetened, extremely caffeinated tea.
You may be pondering how a penguin can sip tea with no lips, but you might not be. So I will pretend you didn't and get along with my story!
Archibald was enjoying some nice peaceful time alone. Suddenly a nut hit him on the head. The 'thunk' of the nut against Archibald's head was barley audible over his exclamation of pain!
You might have found a flaw in the setting, how can a nut fall out of the sky, shouldn't there be a tree? Well earlier I forgot to mention that detail. So now that we know Archibald was resting near a tree, I shall put an end to this interruption.
Upon hearing Archibald's quite feminine scream, a little squirrel popped its head out of a hole in the tree. Looking down he saw quite clearly the knot appearing on the birds head.
"Oh! Oh, oh, oh my! Did I drop a nut on your skull? I did not mean for such a fate to befall you! Oh my! What a horrid pun! Befall, the nut fell!"
Archibald looked up, adjusting his spectacles, and spotted the youthful rodent.
"I do say, I thought it was raining nuts!"
The squirrel was so over come with squeaky laugher from his clever remark that he toppled from his perch and landed on Archibald's blanket.
"Oh! I see I was correct about the downpour of nuts!" he said while eyeing the squirrel.
"Hey! Who you calling nuts, buddy?" the spunky rodent retorted.
"Well I'm not quite sure, for you see I don't have a clue to your name!"
"The name's Edward!" he stuck his furry paw out inviting a shake. "And I'm sorry about the nut incident."
"Quite alright my dear boy!" Archibald said while extending his flipper to grasp the small paw and show friendship.
Now please don't let the fact that flippers can't grasp objects bother you! Just let it go, it will make for a better story!
"You see I was in quite a hurry to gather nuts, winter is coming its my first one on my own! So I'm rather worried that I will not have enough nuts to sustain me! I just got kicked out of the nest this summer." Edward chattered quickly while picking up the nut he had earlier dropped.
"Winter?" the aquatic bird appeared puzzled as he looked around. He saw the sky had grown darker and the lush green tree was now various shades of orange and red. "By golly! I do say you are correct Edward! Winter is upon us!"
Yet again you may see a flaw in the story line. Yet I ask you, did I ever say how long Archibald was sitting? Or how many spots of tea he consumed? No I did not! It could have been centuries and thousands of cups of tea for all you know! On with the plot!
"Yes yes yes! It is going to be a cold one this year!" replied the anxious squirrel. "I do hope I will have everything I need to maintain myself!"
"Well," the penguin started forming an idea in his brain, "I have a winter home in the fine state of Hawaii, and I welcome you to join me! It gets rather lonely sipping tea all by myself!"
"Oh! Can I?! That would be wonderful! Wait, how can you sip tea? You have no lips." Edward pondered.
"Do not fret my dear friend! That is not pertinent to the story! So please over look that minute detail."
"Well I guess I can for now, but you are definitely going to have to show me how you sip with no lips!"
"And I shall! But later! We must continue with this story! You do want a place to stay for the winter, correct?"
"Oh yes! Thank you Mr. Archibald!" said the still confused squirrel.
"Well pack your bags! We leave today!"
"I have nothing to pack! How shall we get to Hawaii?"
"We fly!" replied Archibald
"But….penguins….can you?" questioned Edward excitedly.
"Oh course not! Do you think that the writer of this story would contradict the laws of nature? You silly squirrel! I have frequent flyer miles with United Airlines! I have already bought my ticket and I'm getting yours right now!" Archibald then whipped out his cellular device. He said a few words and hung up. "We are set! Shall we go now?"
"Oh! Yes yes! Let's go!"
The animals enjoyed a nice flight in first class. Edward consumed all the complementary peanuts that the plane had to offer while Archibald danced in the aisle way, for all the caffeinated tea was still affecting him, even hours after drinking it. They arrived safely in Hawaii and enjoyed a winter filled with snorkeling and sipping tea. Edward was eventually shown how penguins sip with no lips, but could not fully grasp the wonder of it.
