"I just can't help it!" said Tickling Timmy.

Last sunny morning I woke up earlier than usual. Using one of my very long arms, I reached out for a cookie from my cookie jar which was on my dining table. After my snack, I quickly dressed up, and left my house to start my day.

Once out of my house, I hid behind a bush so that no one could see me. I waited for the postman to do his round. As usual, he would be carrying a sack full of letters.

Swiftly, I stretched my long arms and tickled his neck first, then, his back and legs until he laughed and dropped his letters all over the road. I gave a very big grin at my first victim.

Down the lane, I could see Fussy Felix hanging up his laundry in his front yard. I moved deftly behind the fence and tickled Felix until he dropped the laundry all over the floor. That was the second victim I tickled.

When I reached McDonalds for my lunch, I used my long arms to tickle the waitress until she dropped the food and created a commotion and a mess. Then, I tickled Sunshine Sally, Grumpy Gary, Strong Stephen, Stubborn Stephanie, Tiny Trinity and Bouncing Brian who were having their lunch there too. How they laughed! How they giggled! Nine people in all.

After lunch, I went to Toonsville supermarket and tickled the cashier until the people have to wait for a very long time for the cashier to stop laughing. Good Gracious! Ten people I have tickled today

Soon, I went to the bus stop and waited for the bus to come. I tickled an old lady who was sitting next to me and smoking a cigarette until she dropped it. That was the eleventh person I have tickled.

When the bus came, I entered and sat at the back. Sitting in front of me were Happy Harry, Giggling Gwen, Funny Fred, Neat Natasha, Bumping Bobby, Grumbling Gregory, Scary Scarlet and Magic Margaret.

Tickle Tickle Tickle I went. What a piece of good luck, nineteen people I have tickled today! By the time I got off the bus, it was already night time.

There was only one person I have to tickle for now. And when that person came to me, it was Shy Sophie. I went over to her and tickled her until she quivered and ran away sobbing. Great! I have tickled 20 people today.

When I went home, I sat on my armchair and laughed and laughed until I fell of my chair.
