A new Kipper series created by me and tate310, that continues the adventures of Kipper the Dog. This is the first episode called "Arnold's Thumb" Enjoy and comment.
"You know Arnold." said Pig, "it would be a lot easier if you sucked your thumb all the time.
Arnold took his thumb out in surprise, the placed it back in his mouth.
"We've tried everything to make Arnold stop." groaned Tiger.
"Yes, but he keeps on doing it. You know he's only little." Kipper reminded him.
Tiger nodded.
"I know. Now what are we supposed to do?"
Arnold looked at the cat, sucking his thumb. He placed his other hand out to pat him.
"I've got an idea." said Pig excitedly.
"What is it?" said Tiger and Kipper together.
"I'll give you two clues. One, it's something from the jumble sale that was in the park one day, and it's Arnold's favorite animal." explained Pig. "Look after Arnold for a few minutes. I'll be right back."
Arnold took his thumb out, knowing what the answer to the second clue was. But then he put his thumb back in again.
A few minutes later, Pig arrived back with a toy duck.
"Here Arnold." said Pig. "It's your favorite animal."
Arnold looked at the stuffed duck. He stared at it for some time before putting his thumb back in his mouth.
"It's no use." said Pig. "How are we ever going to get Arnold to stop sucking on his thumb?"
Nobody answered for some time.
"How about a pacifier?" said Kipper. "When I was little, I used to suck on one all the time."
Everyone thought that it was a great idea, except Tiger.
"Pacifiers won't help." said Tiger. "How about a different animal?"
Everyone stopped to think.
"A black cat!" exclaimed Tiger.
A few minutes later, Tiger came with the black cat.
"Arnold." asked Tiger, "do you remember what this is?"
"Duck!"he said, pointing to the cat before placing his thumb back in his mouth.
Everyone groaned.
"Why won't he stop sucking his thumb?" asked Pig.
"Maybe because he's just a toddler." replied Kipper.
Then Kipper had an idea.
"I know! I go and get Sock-Thing! Maybe that will do the trick!"
Kipper went to his house to get Sock-Thing.
When he returned, Arnold was still sucking his thumb.
"Here Arnold, this is Sock-Thing."
Arnold took the Sock-Thing, placed it on his ear, and then returned to sucking his thumb.
"That didn't work either!" said Tiger.
So Pig went to get the pacifer, and placed it in Arnold's mouth. This time it worked!
"Hooray for Arnold!" cheered the gang.
And Arnold was happy too. He had finally stopped sucking his thumb.
