Merry and Pippin go to school
Merry and Pippin in English:
Merry and Pippin were in the sixth-grade. In English they were reading Tuck Everlasting. Pippin just didn't understand why anyone would not want to stay young forever. "Think of all the years you could spend eating," he remarked.
"I don't think they'd want to spend very many, Pip," Merry whispered.
"That's not the point," the teacher told him, "You wouldn't have any friends, they would all die."
"Get them to drink the water, too."
"Then the world would get overpopulated."
"The more hobbits the better," Pippin replied, merrily.
The teacher retired to her desk in a huff. "I don't think she liked that," Merry told Pippin.
"No talking," yelled the teacher, "Work on your assignment."
"A devilish look appeared in Pippin's eyes. Across the room was a colorful pile. He motioned to Merry to follow and they crept over to the pile of markers. Merry pulled the top of a blue. "Ohhhh..Pippin it smells like blueberry," he whispered.
"I wonder if it's eatable," Pippin whispered back and he bit off the top, "It's good, but needs more flavor. Hand me another one."
It was ten minutes before the English teacher discovered the two hobbits, their faces covered in marks, still biting the tops off the smelly markers. "Don't eat those," she yelled, "They're markers. They might kill you."
Pippin gave a big belch. "I don't feel so well," he groaned.
He fainted. Merry started to check his friend and then he swayed and fainted too. The two hobbits were out for 30 seconds straight and then popped back up, perfectly fine. The rest of the students were amazed by their speedy recovery and decided that if 30 seconds out was the most it did to you, it was worth it to eat the markers.
Before the teacher could stop them, most of the sixth graders grabbed markers and ate them. Unfortunately, most of them didn't find them quite as eatable as Pippin. Quite a lot of them passed out or threw up right away, not having a hobbit's immunity.
The bell rang, as the teacher tried to stop the chaos and more students swooned or barfed. Pippin and Merry grabbed a few markers for lunch and ran off to band.
