AT THE OCTOBER PACK MEETING WE ALL WROTE A STORY.
AND HERE IT IS!
Joe the Penguin and the Thunder Cheese
One bright day, Henrietta was sitting in her kitchen with her pet penguin Joe.
Suddenly—these things always happen suddenly—she heard thunder. Loud thunder. Thunder so loud it would shake the patches off of a Webelos’ red vest.
Henrietta ran outside with Joe—well, Henrietta ran, Joe waddled—and looked up in the sky and saw a monster falling to earth. It was an ugly green monster. With green eyes, green hair and a green nose. All the rest of him was green too. So, you could say that he was green. We already did say that, but you could say it also.
Henrietta scooped up Joe and hopped into a hover craft that just happened to be parked there and just happened to have the key in the ignition.
Vroooom! It soared upward. They shot past the green monster and hovered above him. This being a hover craft, the hovering part was easy.
Joe held a stick of dynamite with his flippers and Henrietta lit the fuse and screamed, “Drop the dynamite!”
Joe was the kind of penguin that didn’t need things explained to him twice. He dropped the dynamite. It fell straight down and exploded next to the green monster. This had the effect of blowing up the monster. Into many chunks—both small and large.
Henrietta and Joe returned to earth and smelled something terrible. Cheese. Green cheese. The monster was a green-cheese monster.
“Well,” said Henrietta, too bad we don’t have some chips. We could have green cheese and salsa. If we had some salsa.”
Joe just waddled back into the kitchen and climbed into a bucket of water and took a nap.
