Raeli, Ryan,
and Nick are headed to the cabin for the annual Short family reunion.
Raeli says, “I
am so excited! I can’t wait to see all
of the cousins!”
Raeli, Ryan,
and Nick arrive at the cabin and none of the cousins are there yet. They want to go out and play in the woods
around the cabin.
Nick says,
“Let’s go look for Bigfoot!”
Naner says,
“Be careful, guys. Bigfoot is not out there.
But a JellyFly might be out there.”
“What is a
JellyFly?” asks Ryan.
“The JellyFly
is a monster that lives in the woods around the cabin. It has an orange eye, and a green eye. It has giant wings with polka dots. Their poop looks like giant marshmallows and
they throw lollipops at people before they eat them! They like to eat people wearing blue
shirts. When they get close to you, they
start to squeal and make a popping noise, kind of like a firecracker. You can go out in the woods if you want, but
make sure you watch out for marshmallow poop and if you get hit by a lollipop,
you might want to run back to the cabin as fast as you can. Make sure you can see the cabin from where
you are.”
Raeli is
wearing a brown shirt and Nick has on a green shirt. Ryan put on a blue shirt. Naner said, “Be very careful, Ryan. The JellyFly only eats people with blue
shirts on. Watch out and make sure you
aren’t getting hit by lollipops.”
Raeli, Ryan,
and Nick head out into the woods. Pretty
soon they see a trail and are headed down into the woods to see what they can
find. Raeli feels something hit her on
the head. “Ouchie!” she yells, and turns
around to see what had hit her.
“It’s an
acorn!” Ryan says. “See, right
here. A squirrel must have thrown it at
you.”
They
go on a little farther, and turn around to make sure they can still see the
cabin. They decide to walk in a circle
around the cabin. After a little bit,
Nick feels something bounce off his head.
“Ouch!” he cries, and turns to look at the ground. It’s a lollipop!
“Naner
is playing tricks on us,” Raeli says. “I
bet she followed us out here, and threw that lollipop. Let’s keep going.”
They keep on
walking in a circle around the cabin. Raeli spots a stick that she knows Ryan
will like. “Ryan, look at this stick,”
she says. “Ryan?” She turns around to look, but Ryan is not
there!
“Nick, where’s
Ryan?” Raeli asks. “I don’t know,” says Nick, “but I found some
big marshmallows here on the ground.”
“Those aren’t
marshmallows! That’s JellyFly poop!”
says Raeli. “Ryan was wearing blue! He’s been kidnapped by the JellyFly! We need to go tell Naner right now!”
Raeli and Nick
start running back to the cabin. Nick
hears a squealing sound and tells Raeli to slow down. As Raeli stops, she hears a popping noise right
behind her. When she turns around,
something hits her on the head. She
looks down, and sees a lollipop lying at her feet. She stoops down to pick up the lollipop, and
turns around to show Nick. But when she
turns around, Nick is not there! Did he get
kidnapped by a JellyFly too?
Raeli runs all
the way to the cabin to get Naner. Raeli
finds Naner upstairs making the beds.
“Naner! Naner!” she yells. “Nick
and Ryan have been kidnapped by the JellyFly!
We got hit by lollipops, Nick found marshmallow poop, but Nick is
wearing green!”
“Oh, no!” says
Naner. “We have to help them! But Nick
is wearing green. I thought JellyFlys
only ate people wearing blue shirts. Why
did they take Nick? We need to go look
for them!” Naner and Raeli head out in
the woods to look for Ryan and Nick.
Meanwhile
in the JellyFly cave….Nick and Ryan are tied up next to an old
refrigerator. There were two
JellyFlys! One was a boy and the other
one was a girl. The boy JellyFly had
taken Ryan and the girl JellyFly had kidnapped Nick.
“Ryan,”
whispers Nick. “How are we going to get
out of here?”
“I
don’t know,” whispers Ryan. “They sound
mad.”
“Maybe
you should tell them a joke,” says Nick.
“Like a knock-knock joke or something.”
“Oh! I’ve got a good knock-knock joke,” says Ryan.
“How do we get their attention?”
“I’ll
burp really loud!” says Nick. “BBBBBUUUUURRRRRPPPP!”
The
JellyFlys turn around and look at Nick and Ryan. “I’ve got a really funny joke,” says
Ryan. “Knock knock.”
“Who’s
there?” says the girl JellyFly.
“Boo,” says
Ryan. “Boo who?” says the girl JellyFly.
“You don’t
have to be such a crybaby about it,” says Ryan.
The boy
JellyFly starts to laugh really loud.
The girl JellyFly turns around and glares at him. “I’ve got a joke,” says Nick. “Knock, Knock.”
“Who’s there?”
“banana.” “banana who?”
“Knock,
Knock.” “Who’s there?” “banana.” “banana who?”
“Knock,
Knock.” “Who’s there?” “Orange.” “Orange
who?” “Orange you glad I didn’t say banana!”
“We’ve got to
let them go!” says the girl JellyFly. “I
thought you said they’d be funny!”
“I thought
they would be funny!” says the boy JellyFly. He walks over, unties Nick and Ryan, and puts
a blindfold over their eyes so they can’t find their way back to the JellyFly
cave. He takes the boys out into the
woods to let them go.
Meanwhile, out
in the woods: Naner and Raeli are
hollering for Nick and Ryan as loud as they can. They don’t know where the JellyFlys would be
hiding them. They keep going through the
woods, yelling for Nick and Ryan. All of
a sudden, Nick and Ryan come running through the woods, talking a mile a minute
about all that they had seen in the JellyFly cave. They all rushed back to the cabin, and they
were very careful about what color they wore the rest of the weekend.
