Plum Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 But nothing was further from Henry's mind as he lay blowing smoke circles around the falling marshmallows. Trudy was on his mind and he was starting to hatch a plan how to bring her to them ............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 So he took the troll bra off the mast and unravelled the steel wool - it was far too long to measure - he guessed a good mile or so. It would come in handy "ahhhh Trudy" he said wistfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clootie Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 3 days later after much wire winding, they all decided it was time to visit Grandma Doodlebunk in the village of Zerk because she made yummy buns on a Thursday. "Lets go", said Henry, "I have a very rumbly tumbly". So they all ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Jumped onto a giant millipede - which has a much faster travelling time than a giant centipede - more legs you see. "That will cost you 24 dubloons and no messing around and sit down at the back", said the millipede to the 4 H's who were all . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clootie Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 "I can't sing" said Henry, "but I can take my flip flops off and hum if you like?" "NOOOOOOOOOOOO" came the response in unison.

clootie Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 the humungus duck that the 4 H's warned them about. A huge webbed foot hovered above the terrified friends, "QQQQUUUUAAAAAACCCCKKKK" it boomed menacingly. "Watch it" shouted Goatworth "it might decide to sit on us, it looks broody to me!"

Valkyrie Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 The duck laid a magnificent egg. Splat it went on the ground showering them with the sticky contents. "Not again" said the millipede "it'll take ages to clear this goo off my legs" "Is there anything we can do to help?" asked Henry . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 'Well' said the millipede 'we've been trying to find a mate for that duck for years to tempt it out of this rabbit hole and stop it splatting us but no drake will enter the hole'.......................

Valkyrie Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 The 4 H's decided to hatch a plan. "Where can we find a mate for her?" They scratched their heads. Millipede looked on jealously. "Can you scratch mine too - my legs are too short to reach?" "Why sure, glad to help" Hey, said Goatsworth standing on a huge boulder. "There's a big river over yonder - perhaps we can go and see if there's a handsome dude willing to take on this bird." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 So they all reached for their flippers and walked backwards into the river so that they didn't look silly and fall over going forwards. Brrrrr, it's a bit chilly, said Goatworth. Come on, I'm going to attempt the butterfly stroke, what about you Henry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 "Whatever I do, I hope it won't be the catfish stroke because I haven't got any breathing apparatus with me". He said gingerly going into the water. "Glub!" "Good catfish impersonation" said Goatsworth "GLUB! GURGLE!!!!!!" went the drowning Henry.

Plum Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 As the biggest drake they had ever seen skid landed on the water sending up a wave that threw them all onto the bank. 'Well that was a waste of time' said Henry 'you didn't get to see my Catstroke'. The drake wooshed around and with eyebrows raised quacked loudly at them. Goatsworth was sat on the bank quacking back to him........................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 "Well hellllllllloooooooooooo gorgeous" said the drake to Goatsworth. "Erk! Not me - it was that beautiful lady duck over there - she's very lonely you see" "Oh my, it's Florence. Can't believe I nearly fell for that trick - do you know how many people have asked me to take her on board? She's terrible! She has a thing for millipedes you see. Can't stand them." "Maybe she's scared and needs to get to know them better. Please help us" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Apparently a militant milli told Florence she was quackers when she wanted to dye her tail feathers turquoise to attract a mate. She took it badly and has, since then, hated millipedes on sight. So, what's the plan then Ambrose? shouted Henry. Ambrose was the drake's name, they knew that because of the name badge he wore on his puffed out chest. It had a gold star on it too as he was the bestest drake in all the land.

Valkyrie Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 "Hmmmm, let me think on this. It's got to be subtle because I don't think she fancies me after last time I tried. She pinched my bread and dunked my head!" "She may have been hungrier than you?" suggested Goatsworth "You need something more romantic than a chunk of bread in a pond!" said Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 May I be so bold as to suggest complimenting her on her soft downy feathers and immaculately coiffed turquoise tuft and whatever you do, don't forget to mention how elegantly she paddles. How could she fail to be impressed with that? said Goatworth winking with a knowing glint in his eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 "Anybody would have thought you'd dated a duck yourself before" snorted Ambrose "OK I'll try it and see if it works.
