Chapter 1

Is There a Second Smurf Village?

One morning, after breakfast, the smurf village was just like it was every morning. It was filled with the usual sounds of sounds of Greedy Smurf baking, the hammering of Handy Smurf hammering nails, Brainy Smurf reading "Quotations of Brainy Smurf," Hefty Smurf lifting barbells, Smurfette watering flowers, and Clumsy Smurf tripping. Papa Smurf walked out of his house and sniffed the air and said "Ahh, what a smurfy day, just as usual," then he was interrupted by the sound of Brainy calling repeatedly "Papa Smurf! Papa Smurf!" Then Papa asked "What is it Brainy?" "I have a very important question, I know that I know all the answers, but I came across one question that I don't have the answer to, it will be the first time, I swear!" Brainy said. "What is your question?" Papa asked. Brainy answered "Well, Vanity asked Clumsy to ask Hefty to ask Handy to ask" "What do you want to tell me?" Papa asked interrupting Brainy. "Well, I was wondering if there are other smurf villages? You know, besides this one." "I'm not sure Brainy" Papa replied. "There may be another smurf village out there, who knows?" Then he watched the curious little smurf as he ran out of his mushroom house.

About an hour later, Papa called a meeting and after a few minutes the smurfs being alerted by the sour notes of Harmony Smurf's horn, of all of the smurfs crowded around his mushroom pedestal. "I need 7 volunteers to go smurfberry picking, I can't go smurfberry picking because I have to go visit my good friend Homnibus" Papa said to his young smurfs who seemed anxious to hear who was going smurfberry picking, and not so eager to hear about where he's going. "I'll go Papa Smurf" Hefty Smurf said, "So will I" said Tracker Smurf. "Me too" said Handy Smurf, "I'll do anything for smurfberries" Greedy Smurf said looking hungry as he ate a smurfberry muffin that was left from breakfast. "I would love to go too so I can pick flowers" Smurfette replied. Then the smurfs where interrupted by a voice saying "Sorry we're late Pappy!" Then Papa looked to see a little Smurfette with her braided pigtails flying as she struggled to get there, then he saw three little smurflings behind her struggling to keep up with her. "Ahh, Nat, Snappy, Sassette! Glad you could make it." Papa Smurf, said as they approached the huddle of smurfs. For he knew that Slouchy Smurfling was probably on his way there "What is the announcement about?" Asked the voice of Nat Smurfling, who was accompanied by his butterfly named Flutterby and his caterpillar named Fuzzy. "Yeah! What's up with the announcement Papa Smurf?" Asked Snappy Smurfling. "Papa is sending some smurfs out smurfberry picking" said Hefty. "Smurfaroo! Can we go? Please Pappy!" Sassette begged. "Alright, I guess we can have 2 extra berry pickers." "Smurfaroo!" the smurflings cheered. "Let's go get ready!" Nat said while running back to the bunkhouse that all four of the smurflings share. Then they told Slouchy Smurfling that they got to go berry picking with the smurfs and Slouchy said "Great, let's get going" in his usual calm voice as he slowly took his time walking to the bunkhouse.
