I remember when my Uncle Dunked on Mr. Blager. My Uncle Vincent and my cousin mr Blager were playing basketball and my uncle dunked on him. We had a bet that my Uncle could dunk on him so he had to take us out for dinner.

Dragon: (pirate) black tail, striped green and black, wears glasses.
Fince the king: Bald
Setting: a science lab computers, potions, three form glasses.
The king was in the lab working on experiments when the king was working on the computer. The dragon was sneaking around the lab. Fince was making a dragon and he pushed the stop button and Dragon came to life. The dragon blew blue fire on the books. All the books are burning! The shelves burned when the book burned too. Fince jumped up and said, “You Dragon! How dare you say that?” Then the dragon blew fire at everything in the science lab, and the science lab blew up and it cost him a million dollars. Fince gets really mad and throws his cape at the Dragon. The Dragon is going to pay for the lab. The king was still upset.
The End.

One there was a family of four penguins. They weren’t ordinary winter penguins they were summer penguins. They had two kids named Geoff and Tim. The mom and dad penguin wanted to get married, so they went back in time to become human so they could become husband and wife. The kids wanted that too and supported their parents. So Mr. and Mrs. Penguin passed out invitations around town. They went to buy potatoes to make potato salad for the wedding reception. But the kids couldn’t make it to the wedding on time because they were penguins and couldn’t work the time machine.

N: Fartacine can help. It stops your unexpected farts. It’s very effective. But since it holds in all your farts for two whole days it creates a massive stink bomb fart. Don’t take it if you have kidney or bladder problems, and don’t take it if you are sick. Also don’t take it with any liquid or solid.
B: Hi I’m Bob I took fartacine for 1 week and this is what I looks like before. (farting noises). And now I didn’t fart for two days and here is what the massive fart sounded like (huge loud fart). Hope your not at a business meeting when the huge fart comes.
