So, Darren, Jesper, Sally, and the two kidnapers went off to
the desert.
They flew in a huge helicopter, with the even huger Darren in a net
under the helicopter. After an hour of studying his own
body, the great pig-meat-lover Jesper complained:
"I'm hungry!"
"Here you are. I hope you like omelet", said the nicer of the
two kidnapers.
"No I ha.....",
begun Jesper when Sally pinched him on a specially tender
spot.
"He just loves it", interrupted Sally and took the omelet from
the kidnaper.
She then cut the poodle tail in little pieces and put them
in the omelet. After that she and Jesper ate it (Jesper under
protest).
"Good old grannie, and her recipe", said Sally as their bodies
slowly got back to normal.
As they were getting closer to the desert, it started to get
warmer and warmer.
"My throat is dry as tinder. I could sure do with a drink", said
the thirstier of the kidnapers to the other one.
"Here you are", said Jesper and gave him a bottle.
Sally turned to Jesper and whispered:
"Where did you get that bottle?"
"It's the one I got from the Aliens. I didn't like that stuff
anyway."
Finally, they landed. The desert was big, sandy, and yellow.
"Wow", said Sal. "Look at all those ships of the desert.."
"I don't see any sheep", Jesper answered.
"Anyway, why do sheep
want to live in the desert? I thought they would prefer grass to
sand. But just look at those camels!"
This priceless conversation was interrupted by Darren. The
first thing Darren did when he saw the camels was faint. The
second thing was to come to and chase after the more sexier
camels. He finally succeeded in capturing one, (who had beautiful
eyes), and proceeded to introduce her to everyone.
"This is Carla Camel. I have camel-napped this gorgeous creature
because I'm in love. Wherever I go, she goes".
"Hey,", said Jesper,
"She sure is pretty. I'm going to get one
too."
Off he trotted, and it wasn't long before he came back with
a camel in tow.
"Please meet Clementine Camel. Don't you just love her humps?"
Clementine liked Jesper's ears, specially the left one.
"She must think you're an overgrown flea", said Sally.
"You're jealous!"
"Of a camel?"
"Why not?"
One of the kidnapers said:
"Great, we now have one love-sick dragon, two camels, one village
idiot, and a woman with a big nose to sell. I should have stuck to
basket weaving like my dad said."
The other kidnaper wasn't listening. He had turned white and was
shaking. He gasped:
"Hey, what's in this drink? It's great."
The first kidnaper, Tom,(not that that's his name but sooner or later
we've got to star call him something more personal than 'the
kidnaper' ), said:
"Give me the bottle", and took a gulp.
By this time the earth-atmosphere have had a chemical reaction with
the extra terrestrial drink and changed its inter molecular
construction. So, the effect on Tom and Tim (let's call him so),
wasn't physical, just psychological. In other words: They looked
the same but thought they had turned into Blurps. Not knowing what
a Blurp was, made them insecure. Tim and Tom looked at Jesper and
said:
"What's a Blurp?"
Then something incredible, the most incredible so far, happened.
It's known that genius sometime have an overflow in their brain and
turn nuts. Jesper got an underflow and turned into a genius. He
immediately calculated the inter molecular construction change and its
effect on Tim's and Tom's brains and answered with a secure voice:
"Blurp means servant or slave. A Blurp should do everything for
his master, me, and protect him with his life."
"Very good sir", said Tim and Tom simultaneously:
"You command and we obey"
"Okay Jesper", said Sal, "Tell them to take us home."
"But this is the perfect opportunity for me to study the
inherent relationship between the pervading paradigm of the
alleged oxymoron of sand, and the human condition. Some valuable
research can be exercised here as primary sources abound. I think
I will write my study in Ancient Greek."
Sal was no genius but she had met some and knew that genius
could be nuts as well. She parried:
"Yes, that's true, but if we don't get back you'll miss your
favorite TV program 'Play school', I mean
'The life and times of Plato'."
Jesper could see that she had a point.
"Very well, slaves, take us home."
"Yes your Highness."
"Make that Great Leader."
"Yes Great Leader."
"Make that O` Supreme and Wise Father."
"Yes O` Supreme and Wise Father."
"You see how easy it is to manipulate and exploit stupid people.
Never get that stupid Sal....... My God, I think we are about to
be killed. There are 10 evil-looking people coming our way on
camels. Slaves, you shall stay here and fight to the death. Sal,
Clara, Clementine and Darren, quick, let's split."
Fortunately they didn't recognized the gang, otherwise their pants
would have turned brown, sticky and smelly. The gang was the
horrible Question-Gang with Killer-Abdul and his 9 brothers.
Sal, Clara, Clementine and Darren had split, unfortunately all
in the same direction. Jesper turned to Tim and said:
"What's that smell, slave?"
"Sorry Master I'm afraid it's me, but I just recognize those men.
It's the Question-Gang.
Everyone they meet they ask the same question."
"What????"
"No, Master not what."
"What question, silly slave?"
"Sorry Master. They just ask in what painful way you like to get
killed, Master."
"In that case. Leave all our things behind and, RUN LIKE HELL!!"
Tim, Tom and Jesper soon joined the others. Finally they all
stopped at a cave with room for two
or maybe three persons. But considering the situation they were in,
they all easily manage to squeeze into the cave.
