An "Udderly" Lunar Ordeal
By Riley McKinley
It was a dark and stormy night. Mighty Mouth was awakened by his alarm clock as it sang, "Here he comes to save the day! Mighty Mouth is on the way!" He ate a bowl of Lucky Charms and drank some orange juice for breakfast. While he was getting dressed, his beeper started buzzing.
He got the rest of the way dressed and bounded out of the closet. He climbed up the science drawers and zipped across the head string that stretched from wall to wall. Then he zoomed out of the hidden door behind the clock on his anti-gravity skateboard.
When he got to the police station, Chief Yahavtharitaremansilint came rushing toward Mighty Mouth. "What's the problem?" he said. Th-the evil D-d-dairy Queen is st-stealing all the ch-cheese in Washington!" stuttered The Chief. "I'm on it" Mighty Mouth said.
Mighty Mouth sped back home and looked in his giant closet of disguises. Then he found the perfect camouflage, a cow.
Mighty Mouth put on his cow suit and headed for the city deli. Sure enough, The Queen was there with a big, malodorous bag of Limburger cheese. She said to the cow, "Perfect! I can use you to make milk, turn the milk into cheese, and multiply it with my duplicator. Then I would have the greatest amount of cheese in the world! Mua-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
Quickly, Mighty Mouth came up with a plan. "Oh no, you do not want to drink my milk! I have mad cow disease. But I know where you can get some cheese.
So Mighty Mouth led the Queen to the middle of the park, where a deep well reflected the night sky. "Look inside" he said coaxingly. "If you eat this cheese you will become immortal. They call it the moo…" Before he could finish his sentence, she greedily leapt inside, trapping herself at the bottom of the well. "They call it the moooooon," he continued, laughing at his own joke. Mighty Mouth called the police and told them where he and the villain could be found.
When the police got to the well, they pulled out the Dairy Queen and made her return all the cheese she stole, except for the Limburger cheese. She was going to spend 5 years with the stinky cheese in prison where she belonged.
Satisfied by his victory, Mighty Mouth went to the classroom closet and took a nice, warm, bath. He went to bed, still smiling about his moooooon joke.
