Chapter 1: Convincing

"It is spring Patrick. The time of The Annual Jellyfish Migration has come. It will be the 100th consecutive Jellyfish migration to Bikini Bottom. Before that they always went to Rock Bottom." Said Spongebob Squarepants. "Well I'm going to work. I will ask for a 5 day leave for the migration so that I could go jellyfishing." "What makes you think that you will get the leave?" " Oh I have accumulated much holiday time. I have asked for a copy of my holiday papers from the Fry Cook Committee. Once Mr Krabs shall see it he will be scared of the fine and give me the holiday." Suddenly the postman came with a letter for Spongebob. He tore it open and checked it. It were his holiday papers. He rushed of to work. He made 34 Krabby Patties, 367 Krabby Fries, 289 Kelp Fries, 03 Chocolate Double Dip Milkshake, 05 Vanilla Double Dip Milkshake and 01 Strawberry Double Dip Milkshake. After work he asked Eugene " Mr. Krabs can I... can I um... have a 5 day leave?" Mr. Krabs was suprised but said" NOOOOOOOOOO. You will not get a leave Spongebob okay. Ask me again and I will make you work 24 hours for 24 days." "Hm... I guess I have to tell the Fry Cook Committee that Mr. Krabs wants to pay the fine." "What, what fine? "Oh I just got a paper from the Fry Cook Committee telling me to take a holiday and if I don't take it you will have to pay a fine." " (gasps) Oh all right Spongebob you can take a leave, but it won't be a paid one."
