King Bart and his quest for the golden eye-drops
There once was a frog named Bartholomew Sid Rebus III, he was king of the whole swamp. Everyone in the town of Swamomon adored him and his webbed feet. The strange thing about Bartholomew, Bart for short, is that he had wings and a horn which he used to dig up slugs to eat. He also had atomic venom in his left eye, which made blinking very dangerous…one incorrect blink could cause a nuclear explosion.One day Bart woke up to find that he had conjunctivitis in his atomic eye, he could not open his eye because his eye-lid was stuck together, this meant that in just two days the venom in his eye would become unstable…imploding the town of Swamomon. This caused mass panic among his peasants, this meant that King Bart had to find a way to open his eye-lids before it was too late.
He set out on a quest to find the golden eye-drops of Terabithia….if he was to fail this would mean the end of the world. The golden eye-drops would be found in the deepest darkest labyrinth of Terabithia. He set out on his quest the morning after next, taking with him a fly sandwich and the Harry Potter book IV.
After a mere two hours of walking he encountered Bob the strange badger, he was wearing glasses with no lenses, a shirt with no buttons and a rubber duck on his right shoulder to which Bart found out the name to be Percy. Bob spoke to the King and said ‘My dear King, how the devil are you?’ To which Bart replied, ‘Oh fine, fine my good man. I was speaking to your son the other day, Shawshank is it? He said to me that you’re a bit under the weather’ to which the badger queried ‘Had a spot of headache and upset tummy’, ‘Hope your fine now old chum, see you later.’ As the king walked off the badger grinned a grimful grimace.
As the King was walking along the path of the dead rosebud a few hours later he stumbled on a protruding rock, he fell down a ditch into DEAD MAN’S LANE, the worst place in all of Swamomon. Just setting foot on the dirt of Dead Man’s Lane gave King Bart a shudder down his frog like body. He knew he must quickly get off this road…but the way he came down was much too treacherous. He therefore decided to walk along the lane until he found another route that would lead off of this horrid lane, as the night fell upon his quest he was at the bridge to Terabithia. He decided to wait until sunrise to cross the bridge because off the high winds at night and the rumours and whispers of the gruesome troll that is said to be hidden under the bridge, waiting for some very stupid person or being to cross and shout ‘UKULELE!!’. With this in his mind he drifted off to sleep.
He was awoken by a rustle of leaves and a flapping of wings, he was startled first but then realised it was only a bird. As he was awake he decided to get up and eat his fly sandwich…he grabbed the sandwich with his webbed hands and took a large munch until it was consumed. One fly was still alive from his sandwich and shouted abuse at him as he flew until out of sight. From reading his Harry Potter book that to defeat a troll you need a wand and shout ‘OMNIBUS’. He flew with his wings to a nearby tree and fetched a stick…he then fashioned it into a wand.
He walked across the rickety bridge and decided to test if the rumours were true, at the top of his voice with a shriek and a scream he shouted ‘UKULELE!!’ nothing happened so he decided to throw his wand into the gorge, to which he heard a ‘UUNHH’ in reply. The rickety bridge started to ricket in a rickety motion until it was ricketing so badly the king was rather ricketed. A huge mountain troll erupted from the gorge, the king almost lost his face but kept his nerve, he shot his horn into the neck of the troll and shouted ‘OMNIBUS!!’ the wand shot out off the trolls ear in a flaming fire ball from hell shooting magical fire into the trolls brain making a tasty snack out of him, for the frog anyway, but the king was not hungry oh no, he only had one day left and his eye was starting to tingle. He knew he must hurry, so he crossed the bridge and entered the labyrinth of Terabithia.
Upon his first steps of entering the labyrinth he encountered a slack jawed Minotaur prey…a friendly one at that. The King asked the prey ‘Do you know your way around the labyrinth?’ To which it replied in an Irish voice ‘Me? Oh no sir…I’m just a friendly Minotaur prey, I’ve only been here a week and I’ve already lost. You see, my wife and I came here because a meteor hit my home and I had nowhere else to go, and this seemed like a safe place.’, ‘ Well I’ll be on my way then’ replied the King. Because the Minotaur prey was so small the King did not hear his tiny pleas that he was going the wrong way….
