Belle & Snow White, with a Twist, 2008-01-17*

This kid can really take a story and twist it around! Listen to her tell this story HERE.

Belle saw that the gate was open and went in. Snow White and Belle thought it was the most ideal place to go, so the two princesses went in and saw that the gate was open, with the door shut. So the two princesses went in, but the door was shut and they tried to unlock it, but it make no use and they went back.

The next day they tried it, and it opened! Inside was a beast, with terrible claws and terrible jaws in its terrible halls. He was eating daily bread.

Hook disturbed him, and the two princesses looked at one another in great honour. “He must be driving with mad,” said Belle to Snow White.

The next day Hoott leaved the garden path. And Snow White said to Belle, “It’s a good idea to sit in. In the garden walls, after dinner, quiet in Snow White.”

“That must be a wonderful idea!” said Belle, crying out.

They went in the bedroom and got dressed, and went out for a walk down the straight path. But the castle was with no sand. And they see no reason why it was gone like that. And they had no reason why it was took by the beast. The beast asked Belle if she was happy. In the castle, Hook saw that the beast was there before the fans.

“Fancy you having Gaston here, with all your pleasure,” said Snow White to Belle.

Hoott was saw that the gate was open, and went in by a guard wait. Hook found and fired the hired goblins, of the good goblins and all Hook’s pleasure.

The next day, Hook went out for a walk. And he suddenly saw the princesses walking by a street road that led to a narrow path, that led open a hook that was here.

The next day, Hoott meeted at four thirty at the princesses house, knocked on the door. Snow White went and opened it and saw Hook standing there, and she said that Belle was having a bath. So, “Just wait here,” she said. “I’ll get Belle.”

“DAH!!!!!” cried Hook in astonishment, when he was put in the laundry’s by, “DAH!!!!” of that day on. Of that day on!

The next day, Hoott saw that the gate was open and saw that Belle and Snow White was standing at the door, so he cried out gleefully. “BELLE!! ARE YOU HURT????”

After that, he cried louder.... “BELLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” cried Hook in astonishment, and he was took to the missings(?). Of that day on Hook...

(To me, chuckling: Larry and Belle are married now. Larry and Belle are married!
Me: Is Larry a prince?
B: Ya, and Belle is a princess.)

After that, Larry and Belle were married. After that, Hoonk went to Yush to tell that Larry and Belle were missing from their apartment. After that, Hook was saying that Mrs Standin was with Kink. After that, ants came to Hook’s house. The ants were called for help, but the other ants still didn’t know what to do.

Hook brushed his teeth and went upstairs, and soon fell fast asleep. After that Hook looked, went by a small statue that they lift up the slope, slippery slope. Went looking for a small dawn fire, if it’s okay. Hook went and said, “DAH!!!!” at the window, and getting no excuse. “DAH!!!!! DAH!!!!!!!!!!”

After that he went to the crazy lobster that was sleeping in the next room. After that Hoott saw that the gate was open and went in. After that the two princesses looked at each other and smiled. “Happily ever after,” said the two princesses dancing with joy. The two princesses (whispers) married each other!

(To me: The two princesses married to each other!!
Me: I thought you said Belle got married to Larry?
B: No, but Larry died already and the two princesses got married instead!)

Map of her imaginary landscape, 2008-01-19

The first country is Woopwaja where Hook, the current main character in her stories, lives. The black lines are the roads and boundaries to the different countries. The red indicates places where characters live in (houses or camps/tents). Countries with green lines on them are forested, while those with gray lines also have sandy areas. There are no rivers or lakes in this land, but only the sea as you can see labeled.

Wootpotta, Wootwatta and Wootkakakakapotta are all uninhabited, but have various fossil footprints that show that once upon a time various beings lived there. Wootpotta and Wootkakakakapotta used to be inhabited by flamingos, but not any more. Wootwatta used to be inhabited by humans, but not anymore. Wood is where Hoott lives. Hoott and Hook are dinosaurs. All the countries are very rainy.

She drew everything, asked me to write in the labels for her...

Characters in her stories, 2008-01-15**

She gave me a ton of backstory again yesterday and today, filling me in on her various characters and what they're doing now. For anyone who's been following her stories, you'll know her main characters have changed over the past year.

The first hero was Aladar, then Corythosaurus, then Corin (Corythosaurus changed in human form), then Larry, now Hook. And she's had a few primary peripheral characters as well.

So Aladar was a dinosaur, who spent a few agonizing months morphing from dino to human. Apparently he's now a boy and cannot revert back to dino form anymore.

Corythosaurus was a dino at first too, and transformed into the boy Corin much sooner than did Aladar. Corin however developed the further ability to split himself into multiple personalities, and that remains until now she says - only Corin can do this (multiply himself at will).

Larry started out as a boy. He then changed into a dino. There was a door between our world and dino world that at first only the humans from here could cross over to there, with Corin being the only one who could travel in the opposite direction. Aladar could not, but now that he is human he can. So going through that door too often has apparently changed Larry into a dino and he's now stuck in dino world as a dino. One of his sidekicks in her stories, Fatty, is still stuck in limbo, transforming from dino to boy to pteranodon to dino to boy, etc.

Her new character is Hook, who is a dinosaur. There is also his alter-ego, another Hook, who is a pteranodon. The dino Hook is good. The pteranodon Hook is bad.

She is very clear on how her characters have evolved and very definite about their fates if you ask her. She is also definite about all the many side characters. I will write those up for her blog when I have the time.

Death Dirge, 2008-01-13**

I really don't know what to say about this particular story... seems really shocking that this is coming from a 3 year old! The dirge in this story is one of the most coherent songs she has ever made up so far.

Listen to her tell and sing this story HERE.

p.s. just a reminder to readers, other than Corin, the characters in this story aren't human.

Hook went to the Interstate by a small dying fire. This is about a small dying fire getting caught in the hands of Cook. Hook didn’t know that Cook was coming today, and would get caught in the sound rooms if he blocked Corin (indecipherable phrase).

“That’s a pity,” said Hoon. “We wouldn’t block.” And Hoon covered his arms and folded his wings and tapped his nose on the back.

“Hm-mm! IF YOU HAVE A NOTE BLOCKER, YOU WILL STAMP!” He was caught in bad temper today, and Hoon didn’t know what to say.

Hit just hushed and said, “(Singing)
Hush a bye baby, on a treetop,
If the cradle will fall,
Down will come baby cradle and all.”

Hoott was into Monsieur Dark. Hoon was still looking for Hash, and Hoon was still looking for Huhp. Hoon was still nothing, but there was a hopper thing. He goes around bagging and beggaring for more toys. Hoosh was still pushing and pushing at the few men. Hoon was still tossing along the evil train. Hoon knewed that he was macer(?) but Hoott still known that we can save the day as Hoott.

“Don’t be sad,” said Hoon. “We will here to help you.”

Hook was still looking for Bep and he saw... Hoon got out of the trees. Want to find Hoon. Hoon was looking for a daughter, give Hoon bellatrees(?) because he doesn’t like any bus or bish(?) or one two penny or Hoon.

“(Sings slowly)
One a pet, to feel alone
Oh back to one merry hour...”

Hook sang as he walked to the big black tree alone.

“With no cat I can’t avoid being alone with that I see
If I see no big body, old fat spider spinning in a tree
Oh, and I will die forever
And I couldn’t see what can be”

He walked on and on. As the music sang he lighted his candle, and sang on and on

“Three pennies a day, three pennies a day
I couldn’t be alone if I will die alone
I couldn’t be alone because there couldn’t be a bed
To a bed and unknown to unknown

If you can be near a comband(?)
If you can also be a comband(?)
If you can be a little bit perse(?)
Ah, you can help me
Just one a penny near”

“If,” said Hoon

“Here’s a penny, Hook a penny,
Near a berry base
It sang merrily as it cut
It doesn’t become any more...

If... you can be near a very small tie
If you be dead, if you be dead
If you be no more, no more sang...

I will be along the doorstep
If you see me alone
At last... and you die,
Near a wisdom that you can see
Before, before, before you die”

On the flat ground he moaned and groaned. And the horse was poisoned. And we walked on and on until he (drops to a whisper) found a friends at last.

(To me: There’s no more stories. This is the end. This is the end of stories.)

Transcriber's note: She obviously didn't mean it when she said the end of stories because she told another two stories a few minutes after this one! :)

The Diamond Adventure, 2008-01-11**

This story is a bit confusing because there are TWO characters called Hook in it – one is a dinosaur and the other is a pteranodon. Also, several of the characters are able to morph/change from dinosaur form to human form. She has also introduced many peripheral characters with similar sounding names. In spite of this, the story as a whole is pretty coherent and flows well.

Do listen to her telling this story, her expressions are not to be missed!

Illustrated by Random Hook.

Nodo went to Hook and said, “Let’s go to Sneet Hish and see is he fine with us.” So they went to him, to Yush house.

He wasn’t there, but his mummy was there. His mummy said, “Wait for him in the kitchen.” And they waited and waited until someone knocked on the door.

It was Yush. They went and opened it for Yush. “What you want here?”

“Can you please get us another Hook called Random Hoosh U.U. Hook?” Then he opened his door and found out.... found a tubby little mouse. He squeezed the mouse on a tiny little tip corner on his hat,and RANDOM HOOSH came out!

“That’s strange!” said Hook. “It must be a Random Hook then.”

They went down by the stream and said, “I want to sit here,” said Hook. “So tiring!”

And Aladar said, “Ya! We don’t have a single hin yet.”

They went by a small fair bit fire and cuddled down to sleep. When it was day, Hoon discovered that Aladar was gone. Hook looked around. “Toil(?) well... pretty well,” he said to Corin, “where’s Aladar?”

“Oh, Aladar’s in the... fire!... (Hesitant voice) He’s with... with the fire?”

“But I looked around, but he wasn’t there.”

“He... he... must be there!” He looked around, and he saw ALADAR!!!!!! Sleeping in the fire! He got Aladar just before he went up in flames.

Aladar was sleeping in a stack of hay. And they was treading on, and the hay was full of fire! And he went when he saw Hook, and said, “I want to sleep MORE.” And he LET GO and he ran in the fire again.

“What are you going to do with him? Aladar went home.”

He said, “I don’t know!” Hook was still in the treading down fire, and looking for crazy loud casta(?). He cast a spell on Hoosh, and pretending to be a man, went down to the dust and poofed his way through the big black thorns across the Nineown Open Plains. Hook was still with the apple, eating and roasting it, with hard goods and hard caps and corn(?) gaps, until he was full of gaps.

“Let’s get Zinny, before Hook can go.” Hiss, who was still with Hoon, went to Zinny and said, “Zinny!!”

Hook was still in the maps, looking out for Hoon. Hoon was still with the playmate, kicking out balls and pretending to be a man. Now and again, he looked for Hoon. Hit was still looking for Hoosh, and he looked on and on until the big baps(?) will found him, and catched him in the big bad wolfs.

“Where can we go?”

“Whew! That was close!” They went by a small chain of fire that seeped the night, of the apes(?) getting on them.

‘GET THE FIRE!!!! GET IT, GET IT!!” said Hook. “GET IT! GET IT! Before the monkey tread on us.” And they PUT, put the monkey in the fire, and burned them. With roasted Neef and roasted Mac and roasted Hooks and roasted Naps. And they eat the monkey.

“That’s disgusting!” said Hook.

(To me, laughing: They eat the monkeys, and that’s disgusting.
Me: They’re dinosaurs, right?
B: Ya! So they can eat monkeys.)

“Roasted beef!” said Hook.

“What is beef?” said Aladar. “Hah! No!”

(To me: Aladar’s a boy, so he won’t eat. Aladar’s already a boy, so he’s eating rice now.
Aladar! Aladar is a boy.
Me: He’s no longer a dinosaur?
B: No. So he’s eating rice now.)

“I want to...” he ate rice. Aladar looked all about for his torchlight, but it wasn’t there. He picked up it and shined his torch around. (Softly) It was complete darkness. They had failed in trapping Gus, and he shone... he shined his torch about. They were there. Quietly, they opened the door and found Gus trapped in hearse over a bigger mound cap. They cautiously shined his torch around and saw the next moment he opened and went in the next room, and someone was sleeping there. They cautiously tiptoed along.

“Perhaps... perhaps... perhaps this might come...”

He went by small tread of fire, and opened it. Cautiously he went and he tiptoed by a small tread of fire. He found a slit in it. Cautiously he opened it and saw... Hook, sleeping there.

“Let’s be careful,” he said to Aladar. Aladar looked at Hoon.

(To me: Hoon is not a dinosaur. He’s also a boy. So two of the boys are tiptoeing into Hook. Hook is still a dinosaur, but Yush and Aladar don’t know.
Me: I thought Hook was a pterosaur?
B: Hook is a dinosaur, and Aladar is a boy, and Yush is also a boy. So two boys are looking for the pteranodon Hook.
M: There’s a pteranodon Hook, AND a dinosaur Hook?
B: Ya! So two of them, Yush and Aladar, are both boys.
M: Yush and Aladar are boys, Hook is a pteranodon?
B: Ya!
M: And the other Hook is a dinosaur?
B: Ya!
M: There are two characters called Hook?
B: Ya!
M: That’s confusing.
B: They are looking for the pteranodon Hook now. )

Yush looked for the pteranodon Hook once again. He found him in a quiet room, sleeping by march(?) and fire, (very softly now) and they tiptoed out of his room, and he woke up. Then their leg rushes them and went out of his room and they still cautiously and went down. Then they take a peek... food and no one was there... quietly opened the door... and there stood brave Mr Captain John Smith looking out for them. Hoosh was still taking a peek down at this. This was looked and then they went cautiously out of his room. And they found Hook.

(Back to normal voice). And they went up before Hoon, who was still looking for Yush. Yush went by Aladar and said, “Tch! Brother, come on this way!”

They went to a man that was sleeping in the next room, next door. “This is a quiet ending!” He went by a small tread of fire, and warmed himself up.

“Three tubes!”

“Don’t know!” said Hoon. “Let’s find out!”

They WENT by a small fire and warmed themself.

“It must be this. They must be here already. Ya... they’re here now. They’re here now.”

“They’re here now,” says the one, the one they go for.

“Alright, let’s go,” said Hoon.

Hit was still by a light fire. Went by a big trod by a... and went to a small other fire, that had warmed Hook. They went by a small tread of fire, that led up a small house. Inside was Hoon. Corin looked about and shone his torch. Aladar looked about, when he saw Yush. Yush looked and shined his torch. Three of them, three boys looked around, and the three boys found Hoon.

(To me: Corin is also a boy, so the three boys are looking for something.
Me: For what?
B: There are three boys.
M: Ok
B: And they are looking for this diamond.
M: Diamond?
B: Ya.
M: I thought they were looking for Hook?
B: No, but... and there are three boys and there’s one diamond, alright?
M: Alright...
B: The three boys are these three. They’re looking for this diamond.
M: Who has the diamond?
B: The pteranodon Hook, so they’re looking for him.
M: I see.)

Hook was still stamping, went and looked for the diamond and Hook. “He’s not in this room...”

“I found him! He’s in this room!” said Horsh. “He cuddled up to sleep here!”

They disturbed him and took the diamond. They unwrapped the paper, and found notes written on it. “This could be...”

“Oh!” said Aladar. The three boys locked it in a room and they went in it and locked the door behind them. Hiss was still locked in his prison in the same room that they were in, Horsh laid.

‘DON’T FORGET YOUR ROSES!!!!!”

Hook shushed, and shivered in the cold. And three of them shivered at darkness. Hook shined his torch to see where was the bricks. He shined his torch, and saw... “A RICE BUG!!!!! GOING THROUGH THE TREES!!!”

“(Whispers) Who’s hold them, please (indecipherable as she walks around the room and away from the recorder, acting out this part.)”

“(Sings) Eat the heart and cavern misty!” Hook was still shivered in the darkness, when a small pulse of fire that was my other fire happened, and looking for work.

“(Sings) YABBER RANNY RANNY RAN!
RAN AGAIN IN BADGER SUN!
COME AND COME AND COME ALONG,
Come and come and come with me,
Come and sit by me.
(Silent pause, then continues more quietly).
Leave the horn and cavern steep,
Leave the mountain now.”

Hook said, “We’re looking for this diamond. Can you Hook? Tell us where is it? Where is the diamond?”

“We hid it somewhere, but it was gone from our room. We looked. We wanted to put it somewhere. Did you see where was it? It was with me and we put it in your room... and it was gone!” said Hook.

“Alright.”

Hoosh was peeked in... was there still... “Someone must have put it in this room.” He hid it when someone came to look was the DIAMOND still there – it was gone.

“(Deepish voice) Where is my treasure?” said the man gruffly.

(Me: And then what happened? (after a longish silence)
B: And after that it is done already.
M: What do you mean it’s done already?)

“GOT YA!!!!!” said Hook.

He went by a small camping fire, and looked for Hook. “(Same deepish voice) Where my treasure??” and said the man gruffly.

“I don’t have any treasure! Hook stole it from you maybe...”

“(Sings) Lead the lamb and scare.” Hook was still finding out where was Hoon, look for his penetree(?) and found it at last. Hook was still murmuring, when Hoon was still helping for the maps and found it at last. He went to penetrating eyes and said “(Whispers) Hook, my friend.”

THE END!!!

(This section almost seems like an epilogue, but after the first sentence, I can’t really follow all the threads of thought she’s talking about...)

Bethany, who was still under Hook’s spell, went by a small fire.

Tush was still hoping (whispers) Hook (normal voice) coming down. Hoon was still puppet, purposing for look. Hoon was still hoping, by Yush way Icksix(?). Icksax was down in the dumps, by didn’t pinch it in eyes of Hook’s WENT DOWN BY THE INTERSTATE!!! (Small voice) Hoon was still on a dark small tip. He found out that Hoon was a (indecipherable phrase, too soft.) Hoon was still down. Hoon was still haps, by perhaps Hoosh will be amazed.

Hook dressed up as a commoner, went by a fire, then warmed himself and then was dead, and then went down by the Interstate, and no more.

Bethany went to her mummy and said, “Daddy... where’s daddy???”

And then she said, “The End! NO MORE! NO MORE STORIES!!”

Introducing Hook, 2008-01-07

Here's a new story from yesterday. She had an uncharacteristic lull in storytelling, for the first time since she started way back last February, and had been down to maybe one story per day or two for 2 weeks (her usual is 6-8 stories per day every single day, and this goes up to 13-14 stories in a day when she's particularly on a roll), starting Christmas. But yesterday she was back to herself again and suddenly told 4 very animated and involved stories in the space of an hour or so, introducing a whole set of new characters: her new main character Hook, a human/pteranodon that transforms at will, and several others who are either dinosaurs or pteranodons, plus including some Disney princesses into her stories as well. Corin and Aladar are still around, but only in the background.

So this is the first of her new stories. You can listen to her tell this story HERE.

Hock, who was still back in this dark room, went out of the room, and gave all the hooks to Hoon to save the message. “Really message... still it’s a real message, and he didn’t do all on the message. I want you to do on the cliffords, and you are the hooks and cliffords.”

(To me: There’s cliffords in my story, so you can record.)

“That’s why I said you can record,” said Hook. “It’s I! Hook.”

Hook went down by a stream and warmed himself. “This is a good place for me!” And the others to their own place. Hook to the place that Hock was sitting on. And he sit with Hock. So two of them looked down at the sky, and forward.

“We couldn’t!”

“No,” says Hook, “we couldn’t go there. Hmph. We sit in the same place alright?” Ogo and Hook. Hook... Corin then sat up and teached Hoong how to dance. Hoong was the one who was sat by him who don’t want to sit (does funny face and posture) like that. Who was bound into habit to (does same funny face and posture) umm, like that! So he normally have showers in Yush places then, that he didn’t like that are Hook places that Hang and Hut could be along each side. Each side couldn’t... didn’t go along rivers that laid on streams, that streams go on to another stream and another stream and another stream until SO many streams that are Hook can easily go to Yush that’s not far away from him. He floated, and for a while and listened to their hearts that breakings along the path, and alongs, hoping along Snow White who was down, down and stopped.

“Who was shepherds?” said Snow White and Jasmine together.

“Hmm...” said Hook. “Why that prince...”

(To me: Jasmine and Snow White are in the story! Jasmine and Snow White, but nobody else is here.)

Hoosh and Hock was still back, behind to Hook and the princesses and looked at them invigorously.

“Why are you looking at us like that?” said Snow White. “You’re supposed to leave us. There are shepherds to come along with ALL THE SHEEPS!”

Hook or Jasmine looked at her. Look at looked at them invigorously. “Why are you two are looking so vigorously like that?”

“BECAUSE WE ARE ANGRY AT EACH OTHER!!!” said Snow White. “And I’m angry at him, and he’s angry at me. So both of us are angry, alright???”

“Don’t do that thing Snow White.” Ran away to a stream that led to a narrow path, that Aladar was clearing the house that was still at... and something.

“I want to go home...”

Hook was standing on a path, on a road was led to a stream that led in to a narrow path, that led to the narrow... the narrow path that was led to contents, and was still black. It was hot, and the moon was shining in the daylight, and the sun was blazing hard.

“(Sings) SING A SONG OF THREE PENTILOCKS(?) TODAY AND I AM LATE, THE DAY IT CAN BE YAHARI HEY YAHOY! YAHARI HEY.” Hook was still nervously carrying out, and singing, “(Sings) YIPPEE YA YA YIPPEE YIPPEE YA, TWO NARROW PATHS, TWO IN THE NIGHT.” Hook was still shivering in the cold dark night... alone. “(Semi whisper) And want a drink... it’s in the cave... I’m shivering alone, and the wolf’s going to eat it... and...” escaped, and hanged from a wall. And very high for the wolfs to climb. And they flung on it, and didn’t let go. (Increasing tension) And let goed, and he didn’t fall! “That’s brave of me!” he shouted. “That’s brave!” he shouted on the cold darkness that led to his narrow stream, that was singed the song, “(Sings) BACK TO PATH, YOU ONCE THE NARROW, NARROW YAK(?) ARE SITTING ON HIS DOORSTEP, YAKKING AND A NO MAN.” Hook still stamping and looking for this. Hook who was still nervous in, still narrow in the stream that was still up in the big yard.

“Are you OK?”

“No. There are two bad wolves that wanted to eat me. They were just sleeping, they heard me shivering in the cold darkness in the night. And the sun was shining and they singed the song, ‘(Sings) Lick never, never a stream. A stream can,’ and the stream singed the same song than before, and I was very scared that it might eat me. And the narrow path led to your home. And so I came here, you were on guard. And I went there to see it was a dark.... steep, narrow... ‘(chants) stam neep neem clap a big nam ship NAM SABADASHLISH!!!! Yammer and sheep, down, down to down and all to lack.’ It was sounded really terrible. Goblins laughed and singed at the top of their voice.”

And Hoosh couldn’t believe that Hoong could sing a goblin song like that. And it went on, “(Chants) STANG nib, narrow and hang, hand and beater...”

(To me, showing me the book page: All this is contents, see the contents.)

Hoosh who was still back went and singed a song, but it make no use, and it make no difference too. Hook shouted at the top of the voice, “GOBLINS! WE ARE NOT COMING AGAIN!!!”

But goblin didn’t listen. The kept searching for them, but they never found them.

“But where is Hock??” Ogo was doing magic and was already disappearing down into a drain hole, that Hoong could never find him there. So he went back to the shouting place that the shoutings could only make out what you say, and he soon shouted, “LOOK!!! SHUSS!!!! WHERE ARE YOU????” but Hoong and Shuhss didn’t answer. They kept searching for Hock. “This is a maze... tck tck tck tck tck tck... sshh... out already.”

Hoong could still see the back of the narrow paths that led to streams that flowed into the grassland. And the grass were all there, bunched up. Grass! Grass is there! Grass!

(To me: So it was all bunched up, and he was untangling it now.)

He untangled before it went up in flames, and went up to a hill that saved the day, and had all the flames mucked up, and so much fire that he almost entangled it before the facts(?) when up in flames. And went up in flames, the whole ground, that he couldn’t manage. With all his things he tried to untangle it but they went up in flames already and they got burned.

So Hook tried to untie it, but it went out. And no one was kind there, except Corin that was so kind he untangled it before it went up in flames, and both of them untangled it. It went up and stang and stound(?), hanged and yammered, hunted and hammed.

The end.

Ok, I just transcribed another from the same day, and since it's still focused on Hook, here it is. You can listen to her tell this story HERE.

Hook was still in place, went down from the stream of heavy water gloom. “Heavy water?... Can’t avoid all these things..”

He went to a little cottage that was near (indecipherable). “(Chants) Yip Snap Crack, the big nab.”

Hoosh was still in narrow land, another one went out of the cavern and went to the cabin to (indecipherable). He saw that Corin wasn’t okay and is gloom from the water, and the water is gloomy, and he feel that he didn’t want to go, and they went down a straight narrow path.

“You must be Grumpy,” said Hook. “But how can you get a path like that, hidden Doc and Grumpy?”

And Doc spotted the narrowest path along that he took with Snow White yesterday, and said “That path! Grumpy found. Look! ” said Doc, “that path over there that I went with Snow White yesterday? The old one... they built a new one there so look to see it, but it was burned and there was another one.”

They went to the path that he went with Snow White. Both of them looked, and Grumpy and Jasmine were doing work in the copse, very near the bank.

(To me: There’s two dwarfs here. One is Doc and one is Grumpy. So Grumpy’s helping Jasmine and Doc is helping Snow White, and the others are sleeping.)

“Alright!” said Doc. Hoost was watching them went out of hiding and looked at them invigorously.

“What??? Jasmine helping Grumpy, and Doc helping Snow White... that couldn’t be!!” Hook stared in horror. “What can be (indecipherable) like that!”

(Me: Hoost and Hook and Hoong and all of them... what are they?
B: They are dinosaurs.)

Hoosh, who was staring straight back went and looked at them. “Maybe they’re having a wonderful time,” he said. He said to Aladar.

Aladar looked, and stared in surprise. “That must be a man!! Just don’t deserve it! Two mans...playing with dwarfs...”

(To me: Actually they’re princesses, but they don’t know that they’re not mans.)

Hoosh looked up, and “One hundred and thirty! One hundred and thirty! One hundred and thirty! One hundred and thirty! One hundred and thirty!”

(Me: One hundred and thirty what?
B: He says so many thirty..)

One hundred and thirty! One hundred and thirty! One hundred and thirty! One hundred and thirty! So much hundred and thirties. Hook was still saying, “Hundred and thirty! Hundred and thirty! And Hundred and thirty!... it couldn’t be!!!” he was helping the princesses, bent down upon three of tiny beds. “That I was still storming and yakking along... three of tiny beds that went to the dwarfs, of ancient friend of Grandmother Willow’s, that went to the Grandmother Willow place.”

Hook was still vanishing from his from his place.

Scuffling and Scuttling, 2007-11-17

Listen to her tell this story HERE

Corin destroyed the eckle(?) and Larry being caught. So then Corin was so fierce! And he’s so scary. Also Yush wasn’t with them, because they had put the lid on, covered was over Larry, and Corin said, “What’s over there???.... ALADAR!”

Aladar scuffled about in a field where he was surrounded. He was scuttling about day and night. He was scuttling in a field with his friends, the other ones. “Let’s go and see,” said Larry. But Larry and Corin got caught and Corin said, “LET HIM GO!!!”

“I DON’T WANT!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING????” Corin shouted at the man that caught Larry. He’s so scary for the man.

Kush lurched and put a branch on here, Corin climbed the branch. Larry and Aladar climbed. Aladar and Corin pushed the branch on the man and then got out. So the man, he was just standing there alone for heself.

“NO ONE COULD BE LIKE THAT!” said Chuss.

“NO!!!” said Corin.

“NO!! I had bring TERROR,” said Kush.

“I also!” said Larry.

“You two... you three have bring terror?” said the others in dismay. “How you can kill a man like that?”

“We did with the tree trunk to push him and he died...”

“Oh no!!” said Chuss, “that’s scary!”

“Men is not scary... they are surviving at that time of the year and the day, and night and day. And I got out... for you... I got out for you! Check us later, when you check out.”

“Can I check out?” said Chuss.

“I couldn’t!” said Den.

“Bush!” said Tin.

“I don’t know,” said Larry.

“WE DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!.... MUMMY!.... WE DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO MUMMY!”

“We use the scuffling about Corin to come,” said Tin.

“Tin, don’t do that!” said the mummy.

“Let’s recourse(?) because class(?),” said Chuss.

“Poock!” said Tin. “ARRGGHHH!” said Tin. “I don’t know what to do!!” said Tin, said mummy calling them.

“WE COULDN’T!!!!” said Pip. “WE COULDN’T, WE’RE NOT READY YET!”

“ALRIGHT!” said Tin’s mummy. “Let’s go!”

Corin went to a big junk yard. “This is not cool,” he said to Larry. “Let’s go back to the others and discuss about Chuss.”

Chun wasn’t discussing about all the things, so Lun couldn’t do anything about all the room. “Let’s hear him scuffling about, in all directions and corners,” said Larry, “then he will know us, and he will know that we are watching, scuttling up.”

They watched Hung as he was scuffling about, all his discussions...and looking for a clue. “I found a clue!” he said to the others. “Look, what is it?”

“Aladar, don’t make a dush(?) like that, you might collapse and fall.”

“Alright,” said Aladar. Aladar keep scuffling about in the woods.

The others said, “He must be a larger thing, when he scuffling about in the woods, somewhere about. Let’s go and scuffle him.” And they scuffled Larry, and then went out.

“That was a close kick! We should go into boarding school before Mr Goon comes and catches us.”

They went to boarding school, over many years ago, and went home down a street path that led to Shakaboom’s house, late. “We don’t know what is that!” said Bets.

“Over there!” said Pip, “Look over there!!!”

Woodcutters were cutting up on a trunk, where two lids came over another lid. There someone was scuffling about, on his four legs. “Maybe that Larry,” said Chuss, “should go and pounce on him.”

They pounced, and pounced on the man that was scuffling about. Then went, “We couldn’t die,” said Larry. “Over there, look! I was scuttling about... Corin!.... let’s go and pounce on him,” said Larry.

And they pounced on Corin, and Corin said, “Oh no!... Let’s not do that. To some other people, they might be bad to us!”

“Just checking, “ said Chuss. “You check at the end of the book when we finished scuttling about the boarding school.”

They went to Luss, said, “Boarding school is over. We want to discuss about all the things that we did before that. Can we go teacher?”

The teacher said yes, so they went out of boarding school. And Shush shot... Corin shot into something. “Ouch, it’s poking me!”

“What is it???” said the others, delighted.

“It’s a mystery!!!!” said Larry.

“OH!” said Bets. “I love to solve mysteries!”

“Keep quiet!” said Pip. They all stand still. In a myrrh(?) computer(?) shape, that Corin couldn’t believe his eyes. There was something moving in the shadows! Over on a rocky lid, on a spot on a nearby rock. It was scuffling about everywhere.

“What are we going to do???” said Corin. “We’d better put a rock on it!!! Before it catches us!”

It was Mr Goon. They put a stone on him. “Ouch! Ouch!”

Hung said, “Heh heh heh heh! That wasn’t cool!” Hung lurched along a branch that led on a rocky stone. He pushed it at the scuffling Mr Goon.

Shouldn’t was able to believe his eyes when he saw a big monstrous T-rex coming out of the shadows. “T-rex, don’t do that.” The good T-rex, “DON’T DO THAT BAD T-REX! Don’t eat us!”

“NO!!” said Pip.

“NO!!” said Larry.

“NO! NO!” they all shouted at, they all angry at the bad T-rex because it came and it wanted to eat them, so they all angry at him, including Bets and Fatty.

Buster was growling like a near in the machine, so they all angry. Everyone is all angry at the bad T-rex.

Corin and Stoong wasn’t happy. “WE DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!” said Bets. ‘DON’T AGGRAVATE US!!! DON’T ANGRY US EITHER. DON’T DO ANYTHING THAT’S ANGRY US BAD T-REX... DON’T!!!!”

“DON’T!” said Fatty.

“NO!!!” said Larry. “DON’T EAT US!”

“WE ARE NOT GOING TO DO THAT!!” said Bets. “NO, NO!!! WE COULDN’T DO THAT! NO!!!! DON’T EAT ONE OF US, DON’T DON’T!!! IT’S TERRIBLE! We will have no one to care for us if you eat all of our family. We will be all alone and you might eat us too. Please don’t eat anyone.”

“This T-rex is a harmless one. He wouldn’t bite you.”

“HOONG! NO, PUT THE TREE ON HIM, before he eats all of us down.”

Yush put a tree as he went on a big stony cliff. All of them were sitting on a bench somewhere. “It’s hot,” he said. “I’m hot and tired so I have to come here to you.”

And they all sat by side by side, and Corin discussed, “Do you think we have to go home later? You’re feeling hot and tired. Let’s go back to boarding school and sleep.”

They went back to boarding school, very long time ago, at the Interstate with their Uncle by the same day. So they go to the Interstate to get some news about all the things that they did before. Before long the dawn is over, treading like a yus(?) near somewhere over house Hoong. Dawn was treading through the trees. And birds singed in the branches below, all they singed.

I FINISHED!!!!!
