Tails and the Beanstalk
Chapter 2: Gruesome Gulch
`"Things started to look pretty bad all over the place," Slinkman continued, "Everything was drying up. The fields of golden corn turned to dust and the babbling brook babbled no more, to think that this was once Happy Valley." "Now it's Gruesome Gulch," Edward concluded. "What happened to all the people?" Patsy asked Mr. Slinkman. "Well, suppose we look in on these humble peasants," Slinkman suggested, pointing towards a house behind a brown cow. "Is that a peasant?" Lazlo asked, pointing towards the cow. "That's a cow, stupid," Edward corrected. "She used to be a good milker," Slinkman pointed out, "but now…" "She's an utter failure." Edward finished. "She was the bosom buddy of three humble peasants," Slinkman corrected. "Well," Edward added, "They're certainly out of the high rent district."
Within the house, there were three farmers. One was a two tailed fox wearing baggy socks and tennis shoes named Tails. The other was a black duck named Daffy. The last was a rabbit in red overalls and a blue and yellow polka dotted bow tie named Roger. "There they are," Slinkman continued, "three miserable peasants, gripped by the pains of starvation sharing a pitiful crust of bread between them, sharing and staring, staring and sharing. But, are their spirits broken? Have they lost hope? Yes they are. Toons facing famine not left but beans." "Bean, you mean," Edward pointed out, seeing only one bean come out of the jar Tails was holding.
Slinkman turned to Daffy. "Look at that miserable creature, just a bag of bones and feathers. But, Daffy doesn't whimper. Daffy doesn't give up." "SHUT UP," Daffy hollers, "I can't stand it!" After saying this, he take two plates and a load of silverware, eating it like a sandwich. Tails and Roger knock the cutlery out of him. "I'll be all right," Daffy says, after calming down. Unfortunately, he then sees an axe hung on the wall. "He says he's all right," Slinkman continues, "In a pig's eye. He's suffered too much. What deranged scheme hatches in the brain of this poor demented duck?" Tails looks up in shock. "Daffy," Tails screams, "No, don't."
He says this because the axe on the wall is gone and Daffy is holding behind his back, approaching the cow. "Nice Bossy," Daffy says, in a deranged manner, "Nice old cowsie wowsie." Tails tries to stop and Daffy finally loses it. He tries to kill the cow, but Tails and Roger restrain him. "But guys," Daffy pleads, "I just gotta eat, I'm so hungry."
