“He liked to fish, and
dreamed of living in the forest near a fast running river.”
By CC
Bert liked to fish, but he
had a lot of competition here in the swamp. He had to spend hours every day
hypnotizing the large reptiles that lived in the water, backing them slowly out
of the murky depths with a soothing chant until they collapsed, smiling and
dreaming, on the weedy shores of the swamp. Then he would launch his little
boat and catch a string of catfish. He liked to fish, and dreamed of living in
the forest near a fast running river. That would be incredibly easy. All he
would need to do was find a nice big rock on the side of the river, sit down
and cast his line into the water. One day a pivotal moment of decision
descended on Bert. He would hypnotize himself the following day! When the sun
rose, he went out and sat on a clump of weeds near the waters edge. He began to
chant slowly. Nearby he heard the rustle of many large bodies moving out of the
water to sleep blissfully on the shores. He pictured the forest and the
fast-moving stream, then cast his line. Then he must have fallen asleep. When
he woke up, the reptiles had gone back to the swamp, but his line was still in
the water. He pulled it in and found one old catfish on the hook. He was a
little groggy but felt pretty good. Tomorrow he would add a suggestion that
they all wake up feeling refreshed and energetic.

“Never would she
understand him, never in a million years.”
By MD
“But why elephants,” she
queried. “And where did you ever find that giant, oversized Underwood?”
He merely tapped his cane
on the cement floor. Tap, tap, tap. He knew it annoyed her. He also knew there
was no use explaining it to her. “Go on, Jiggles,” he coaxed the elephant. “Use
your creativity…”
She sighed and rolled her
eyes. Maybe the Match.com membership hadn’t been such a good idea after all.
When he had listed elephants as one of his likes, she had interpreted it as a
thinly veiled reference to overweight women. “Well, I should be OK with him,”
she mused as she entered her contact info on the site. She never expected the
elephant reference to be literal.
“What are you teaching him
to type?” she inquired. In response, he merely tapped on the floor. Then he gently
lifted the elephant’s ear and blew into it - seductively. Jiggles lifted a
tentative foot and padded the keyboard.
“Were you expecting a date
like this?” he winked at her, all the while tap, tap, tapping. She groaned and
turned away.

He woke up certain that
life was going to hand him a big surprise that day.
By TNT
He woke up certain that
life was going to hand him a big surprise that day. He wasn’t sure what he
should do that day, whether to go to town and buy more seeds and pots to grow
herbs, or stay and feed animals – the chickens, ducks and so forth. He was
eating his breakfast when he noticed the raccoon n the stairs looking for a
free meal. He had a little saucer on which he put some of his Spanish omelet.
The raccoon was grateful, although he wouldn’t eat without washing up first and
having a cup of coffee to go with it. But what surprised him the most was the
politeness of the raccoon, who offered him a napkin and climbed up his pants
leg to sit on his lap. The raccoon attempted to say, “What about a biscuit,
too?” Yes, he was very surprised. He
thought the raccoon was a little too forward. He decided to leave and go to
town. What else could happen?

“It came over them all
of a sudden and they had to lie down”
by RC
Harry and Pete were
very excited. Here they were in India! It was the trip of a lifetime, and they
had done almost everything there was to do there so far: they’d, gone river
boating, rode elephants, seen the Taj Mahal and a lot of other glorious places.
Finally, they went into the market square of one particular town and looked
around. They never seemed to get tired of sampling the exotic foods. Harry and
Pete were two guys who would do anything once. “Life is for living,” Harry
often said, “and I intend to live it up, if it kills me.”
In the course of their
culinary adventure, they also imbibed quite a lot of liquor, some of which they
had never had before. “I didn’t even know they had booze here,” Pete mumbled.
As they wandered through the market, not quite stable on their feet and feeling
very happy, they saw a man with his snake.
“That’s a very unusual
sight,” Harry remarked. “I wonder what he’s trying to do.”
“Let’s go and see,”
Pete replied.
The head of the snake
was bobbing in mid-air and making little circles. They noticed that the man was
playing some kind of flute.
“Hey, whatcha doin’
there?” Harry called out, but the man ignored them. There was a crowd around
him and the snake, but they stood back a ways.
“Let me see that there
snake,” Pete joined in. “He’s very pretty.”
Harry reached for the
snake and the man suddenly stopped playing and backed away rapidly. Harry was
surprisingly fast and he caught the snake by the tail. “Whooee!” he yelled, and
began to whirl the snake around. “I’ve got a snake by the tail.”
Suddenly he lost his
grip on the snake and it flew through the crowd, sending people scattering
wildly. Harry thought it was good fun and the pair wandered off.
The next day, when they
came back out on the square, they were perfectly sober. One of the merchants
there informed them of the previous day’s events. When Harry and Pete realized
what they had done, the color went out of their faces. It came over them all of
a sudden and they had to lie down.
