Gomzilla vs. The Captain and Schwartz
Long ago, there were the three Persons of Pewter: Peter
Pewter, Petra Pewter, and Persona Pewter. They took their spaceship, the Emptaprys,
to the Far Away Planet, and faced a one-eyed dragon.
The Three Persons of Pewter |
The one-eyed dragon thought Peter, Petra and Persona looked
very crunchy in their pewter armor, and went off to find some marshmallow
trees.
But Gomzilla, who lived on the Far Away Planet, and was first
cousin to a much larger, more famous and more destructive monster, noticed that
no one was guarding the space ship, the Emptaprys. So, she stole it and
travelled back to the Planet Earth, where two pets live. The pets are known as The Captain and Schwartz.
Both The Captain (the dog) and Schwartz (the cat) like to
take naps, and that is what they were doing when the sky turned red and the
spaceship Emptaprys landed nearby. Out from the spaceship lumbered tiny
Gomzilla (you can make lumbering noises now).
Now, even though The Captain is a silly dog and sometimes
tries to run through screen doors because he didn’t notice they weren’t open,
this time he did notice Gomzilla lumbering around the house.
Sniff! Sniff! |
As Gomzilla drew closer, The Captain gave her a big sniff
(you can make sniffing noises now).
The Captain likes almost everything and almost everybody,
and a small monster with green scales and sharp teeth seemed annoying and a
little boring, so he went to sleep without being bothered (you can make snoring
noises now).
Gomzilla was surprised that The Captain didn’t want
to stay and fight or run away.
But The Captain was not the only pet Gomzilla would meet
that day. Gomzilla turned around and there was a fluffy, black beast!
Now, Schwartz knew he was just a cat, but Gomzilla was from
a Far Away Planet where there are no cats.
Gomzilla thought Schwartz would be a better beast to sneak
up on, so she began to sneak (you can
make sneaking noises now).
Sneak! Sneak! |
And, fast as lightning, Schwartz was ready to fight! (If you
are careful, you can make fighting noises now, but no actual fighting because
you don’t want to miss the end of the story.)
Fight! Fight! |
Gomzilla narrowly missed being bitten, and fell over.
She was very far from her home on the Far Away Planet, and
fighting with beasts wasn’t very much fun any more. Gomzilla felt sad.
Gomzilla is sad. |
Schwartz gave Gomzilla a bandage, and Gomzilla said thank
you, and began to feel better.
Sometimes, you need help with a bandage. |
And they decided to be friends.

Oh, Maggie, I truly do love your writings, especially on a late evening as I wind down my day but, after I scrolled through the pictures, I was seized with a fear that the text would not help me sleep. At 84, I've found I must take especially good care of myself, and I've abandoned my risk-taking ways. If I were ten years younger, I'll bet I'd read that story and say it was really swell :)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know more about the marshmallow trees.
