Gary was in a hurry today. He wanted to go out and see his friend SpongeBob plant and work on his garden. SpongeBob was his best friend and the garden sounded like a great place for him to look around. He liked dirt. So Gary started his long trip outside of the pineapple house that he and SpongeBob shared.
This morning he woke up close to his friend's bed and watched as his friend laughed and got dressed for the day. SpongeBob moved so quickly Gary couldn't understand how he could be so happy. He missed so many things as he hurried through his day. But SpongeBob was his best friend and he jabbered to him as he watched SpongeBob head out the door with his friend Patrick.
The two friends were laughing and playing with some kind of stick with a long metal piece at the end of it. They called it a hoe. As he watched the two friends head out the door Gary made his move towards the outside of the home himself. As he inched along he saw a feather come from the bed where his friend SpongeBob had been sleeping. He watched as the feather went through the air and gently landed on the floor near him.
Gary was curious about the feather and went over to it. The feather didn't seem to have any odor and it was a little larger than he was. it was white and felt very silky . Gary thought that it was interesting, but he wanted to get outside and see what his friends Patrick and SpongeBob were doing.
As Garry turned away from the feather and began the journey to the front door he listened. He could hear a strange noise and SpongeBob and Patrick talking. They were laughing and the strange noise that he heard was the hoe digging into the dirt.
But, Gary had a lot of distractions and as he got to the side of the bed he found SpongeBob's slippers. He knew that they were the shoes that his friend wore when he was in bed or undressed for the night. They were large, huge to him. The shoes were almost four times as long as he was and three times as high. He looked at the checkerboard design on the slippers . From his point of view they looked like big widows. Gary laughed at the strange shoes that his friend had. They had a strange odor to them and although he wasn't fond of the odor it was still a part of his friend's clothing.
But it was a long way to the door and he could still hear SpongeBob and Patrick outside. Gary wanted to get outside and see his friends and what they were doing he needed to hurry. But a snail doesn't know how to hurry and just a few inches away Gary ran into an ant. This ant was busy carrying a crumb that SpongeBob had left on the counter. He was bringing the food to his home. Gary knew that SpongeBob didn't like ants and warned him to leave before SpongeBob got back . He watched as the ant scurried towards his home. Once again Gary was on his way to the door. He listened intently and could still hear the sounds of Patrick and SpongeBob they were laughing and he could hear the sound of the hoe.
The morning was coming to an end fast and Gary knew that he had to hurry. Soon they might either be done with their work or Patrick and SpongeBob could head out to the Krusty Krab either to eat or work. But, for now Gary wanted to see what they were doing.
Just then the clock on SpongeBob's table went off. It rang ten times and Gary knew that an hour had already passed. He looked at the clock and studied it for a moment. It was strange how sometimes it rang like that and then sometimes when SpongeBob was sleeping it would make another noise and SpongeBob would hit it after it woke him up. Gary giggled to himself as he thought of the many times that his friend had gone back to sleep and it had rung again. By the second time it rang the second time SpongeBob would get up.
Once again Gary scolded himself. He was not going to make it tot he outside before SpongeBob and Patrick left if he didn't hurry. So he stopped looking at the clock and listened once again for the voices of his friends. They were still outside of the pineapple working and Gary could hear their giggles. Satisfied that he wasn't too late yet Gary started towards the door once more.
But curiosity was something that Gary had and everything that he saw caught his interest. One of his biggest thrills of the day was going by the wastebasket. The basket was a strange place where SpongeBob would throw many things. This morning the newspaper had been thrown in there and he could see the words that were printed on it. Gary couldn't figure out what all of those things were. He studied and studied, but didn't know what the letters or words were. But, then he remembered that he was in a hurry.
Once again Gary listened for the sounds of his two friends. But this time it was a different and he couldn't hear the sounds of his two friends outside. He listened intently and then heard the front door open. SpongeBob and Patrick came in playing and laughing. When they saw Gary just standing there they smiled.
"Hey Gary you have a good time today?" SpongeBob asked his friend.
Gary knew that he was going to have to wait until tomorrow to follow his friends out to the garden and closed his eyes to take a nap. The trip had been exhausting.
