Adventure #8: The Egg

Mike was painting Easter eggs in his backyard, and he had just painted one like the American flag. “A masterpiece!” He exclaimed, setting it gently down on the wooden table. He would be choosing some eggs later that day to donate to the town’s Easter egg hunt. It was called “Eggster Hunt Donations!” He quickly drove to the donation booth, where he saw two pudgy ladies. “I’m, uh, donating eggs!” Mike said. “Ooh! Look at this one! This one’s got the American flag on it!” They both mooned as Mike handed them the basket of eggs. Mike headed home. He could always go home and relax on his bed if he was having a weird or scary day. Those two ladies were certainly both. “It’s so comfortable in here. I’d better kill some time and rest up for the egg hunt!” Mike said as he collapsed on his bed and went to sleep.

Meanwhile, the robber was shopping for Easter decorations and eggs. He bought the things he wanted and went back home. He was going to go to the town’s eggster hunt soon. He was strolling around the block, shopping bag in hand, when he bumped into the very, very fat police officer! “Sorry!” He apologized, and ducked around the police officer before he could confront him. He may dodge to get past the very, very fat police officer, but he couldn’t escape the two pudgy ladies he saw as he made a left turn. Just around the corner, they were walking, and he was about to crash right into them. “Ooh! Look at this! These decorated eggs are great!” They exclaimed, seeing the robber’s shopping bag. They took the time to go through and take every single egg for the egg hunt, and would not give them back no matter how much the robber complained. All the robber could do was go home and rest.

“DOO DOO DOO DOO BEE BA!” The trumpets called, as the clock struck 3:00. The Easter egg hunt was starting! “On your mark!” The announcer called, “Get set! GO!!!” People scrambled off in search of the eggs hidden around the park. “If you find a golden egg, then save it! It can be exchanged for a big prize!” shouted the announcer. Mike was out in the field, where some eggs were in the grass. He ran from egg to egg, picking them up and putting them in the basket. The robber tried a different approach. He went towards the trees, where the eggs might be hidden in trees and bushes. He knew he would get less eggs, but he had a higher chance of getting golden eggs. Then, he saw a shine from inside a shrub. He reached his arm inside, and he found a golden egg! He was so happy that he ran out into the field to collect more eggs.

Mike had also found a golden egg. It was lying in the ground, right next to a tree. He ran around, shouting, “I got a golden egg!” The robber was doing that too. Soon, though, they bumped into each other. “You!” Mike shouted, “What are you doing here?” “I’m hunting eggs, what do you think?!” The robber yelled back, “I’m not up to anything bad!” Unfortunately, when they bumped into each other, they dropped their baskets, and a person with a black mask took their golden eggs. When Mike and the robber got up, they could not find their golden eggs. They both chased after the person who took their eggs, into the woods. Then, ducking under branches, leaping over logs, Mike grabbed the man’s coat. The man kept on running though, and took off his coat. Suddenly, he tripped over a tree root. Mike and the robber both took their golden eggs and hurried back to the field. “Looks like there is now a robber #2” Mike said.

“BOO DEE DA BOO” The trumpets called to signal the end of the egg hunt. “People with golden eggs, come to the desk by the big tree to accept your prize! The robber ran there, and got his prize. It was a ticket to Disney World! “Hooray! I got a ticket!” The robber said, and drove home. Mike had gotten a ticket, too. Then he went home, where he opened all his eggs. There was another egg, a decoration, that he had earned from collecting the most eggs in the hunt to take home, and he decided to open it, too. It was giant, heavy, and made of ceramic. He pulled one half off, and saw two pudgy ladies. “You again!” They shouted, jumping out and wrapping their arms around him. Mike pushed them off and shoved them out the door. Meanwhile, the robber was taking a stroll around Mike’s block. Suddenly, two pudgy ladies landed in front of him. “Hello!” They shouted in unison.
