Chapter 4: The Tweedle Brothers


Peaches was following the path to the Late Sloth's house when suddenly she hears a rustling in the bushes.

"Hello?" Peaches called out.

Then she hears another rustling in another bush as she then said

"OK whoever is out there, Please don't scare me, I'm not in the mood for tricks"

The noise then ceases as Peaches looks around for a moment then shrugs as she continues to wander along the path.

Suddenly two possums appeared in front of Peaches as they were hanging upside down from a tree.

"Ah!" Peaches exclaimed in fright.

She then took a closer look at the possums as they resembled Crash and Eddie, only they were wearing yellow and red stripe shirts.

"You two remind me of my Uncle Crash and Uncle Eddie" said Peaches.

"Beg your pardon?" The possums asked at the same time.

"Oh I'm sorry, I guess you don't know what I'm talking about" Peaches replied.

"How do you do? I'm Tweedle Dee" said Tweedle Dee.

"And I'm Tweedle Dum" said Tweedle Dum.

"And together, We're the Tweedle Brothers" They both said as they brofist each other.

"I see, Well it's nice to meet you but I'm in a hurry so...see ya" said Peaches.

She was about to continue her journey to the Late Sloth's house when she halted by the Tweedle twins who jumped on each of her tusks.

"Hey wait a minute lady" said Tweedle Dum.

"Didn't you parents ever taught you manners?" said Tweedle Dee.

"If you think we're wax-works, you ought to pay, you know!" said Tweedle Dum

"Contrariwise, if you think we're alive you ought to speak to us!" said Tweedle Dee.

"That's logic!" They both said as he high five each other.

"Well, it's been nice meeting you, Really it has been but I must be going. Goodbye!" Peaches replied as she puts the two possums down to the ground.

"Ah, ah, ah! You're beginning backwards!" Tweedle Dum halted the female mammoth.

He and Tweedle Dee went to a log as Tweedle Dee added

"Now the first thing in a visit is to say"

Then they both sing "How do you do and shake hands, shake hands, shake hands. How do you do and shake hands and state your name and business"

They then brofist each other again as they both replied

"That's manners!"

"Really? Well my parents said to never be rude to those who are greeting me...Well, my name is Peaches and I'm sorry to do this but I really must be going" said Peaches.

"But you can't go yet!" Tweedle Dum objected.

"Yeah, the visit has just started!" Tweedle Dee added

"I'm very sorry but please I-!" Peaches started

"Do you like to play hide-and-seek?" Tweedle Dee asked.

"Or button-button, who's got the button?" Tweedle Dum added

"Thanks but no thanks" Peaches kindly refused.

"If you stay long enough we might have a battle! Just me and my brother here" said Tweedle Dum.

"That's very kind of you, but I must be going" Peaches replied.

"And where exactly are you going that is so important?" Tweedle Dee asked.

"I'm following my uncle" said Peaches.

"Why?" Tweedle Dee asked.

"Because I want to know why he's here in this place" Peaches replied.

"Why?" Tweedle Dum asked.

"Because I'm curious" Peaches replied.

"Oh you're curious! Hear that brother, She's curious" Tweedle Dee said as he pats his brother's back.

"Ah! Like the White Knight who slayed the Jabberwocky" Tweedle Dum replied.

"Jabber-what?" Peaches asked in confusion.

"The Jabberwocky!" The Tweedle Brothers replied.

"What's a Jabberwocky?" Peaches asked.

"You wouldn't be interested to hear about it" Tweedle Dum replied.

"But I am, Please tell me all about this Jabberwocky" Peaches asked.

"You sure?" Tweedle Dee asked.

"Yes please" Peaches replied.

"Alright!" The Tweedle Brothers cheered.

Soon they head to a rocky wall where the sunlight shines on them like a spotlight as Peaches sits on the ground and watches the possums.

"The Jabberwocky" The Tweedles Brothers said together.

"'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves, Did gyre and gimble in the wabe" Tweedle Dum started.

"All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe" Tweedle Dee said.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!" Tweedle Dum said

Tweedle Dum soon makes a shadow of the Jabberwocky that resembles Rudy.

"Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" said Tweedle Dee

"He took his vorpal sword in hand, Long time the manxome foe he sought" Tweedle Dum continued.

Tweedle Dees makes a shadow of the White Knight who resembles Louis as Tweedle Dum said

"So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought,

And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame"

"Came wiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through,The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!" said Tweedle Dee

Then the Tweedle Brother both said

"He left it dead, and with its head, He went galumphing back.

And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves, Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe"

The Tweedles Brothers bowed together as Peaches taps her foot as though she was clapping for them.

"Bravo! What a interesting story" said Peaches.

"It's more than a story, it's a myth" Tweedle Dum replied.

"So it's real?" Peaches asked.

"No one knows, We just hear a lot of rumours about it" Tweedle Dee replied.

"I see" Peaches slowly nodded.

"Now for our next act, The recitation of Father William" said Tweedle Dum.

"Oh no thanks, I really must be-!" Peaches started.

"You are old father William, the young man said and your hair has become very white. And yet you incessantly stand on your head, do you think at your age it is right, is right, do you think at your age it is right? Well, in me youth, father William replied to his son, I'd do it again and again and again and I'd done it again and again and again..." The Tweedle Brothers quoted.

As they continued to quote the recitation of Father William, Peaches snuck away from them and continues on her way to the house of Late Sloth, leaving the Tweedles unaware of her leaving.

"Well they're nice possums but I really must be on my way and find my uncle, Well I hope it IS Uncle Sid" said Peaches.


So the Tweedle Brothers (Crash and Eddie) have met Peaches

Now she's off to find the Late Sloth at his house.

What happens next?

Stay tune to find out!
