Chapter Two: The Explanation
2222
Once they arrived at Cranky's cabin, Wrinkly knocked on the door.
"Cranky!" she called out. "You have a visitor."
After a brief moment of waiting, the door opened, and the old ape everyone called Cranky came face-to-face with them.
"What do you want?" he asked her.
"Diddy here decided it would be hilarious to throw a barrel at me."
Cranky cackled. "Oh, I just loved throwing barrels at every moving thing when I was younger! Didn't I meet you that way?"
"Yes," Wrinkly replied, sounding annoyed. "The only difference is that you threw it at my father.
"And speaking of barrels… Cranky, I want you to tell him a very long story so he can summarize it. I suggest you tell him about Jumpman…"
Jumpman? Diddy thought. Who's that?
"Well, that's fine with me! Kids these days need to learn what life was like before they were born!"
Wrinkly chuckled and dropped the rowdy student to the ground. "I guess he's all yours, then. I'll see you tonight, Cranky!"
She waved Cranky and Diddy goodbye and left them so that she could clean up Kong Kollege in peace. When she couldn't be seen, Cranky looked at Diddy and said:
"Get off your behind and come in!"
Diddy grumbled and obeyed the cane walking elder. The very first thing he came across when he walked in was a big bowl of ripe bananas. He tried to grab one without having Cranky notice, but he whacked Diddy's hand away from the bowl with his cane.
"Ow! What did you do that for?" Diddy asked, rubbing his hand.
"Those are not for you!" Cranky replied as he took out a bowl full of burnt termites. "These are for you!"
"Uh… Thanks," Diddy said, taking one. He popped it into his mouth, chewed it, and started to choke; fresh termites were edible, but ones almost burned to a crisp weren't.
"Like it?"
Diddy swallowed what was left of the termite. "Uh… yeah!" he lied, "It was really good!"
Cranky's eyes widened. "Really? I only eat that nasty stuff because it's the only way I can eat them now!"
Diddy started to feel a little sick to his stomach. Not wanting to throw up in front of the older Kong, he tried to think of something else; he decided to ask Cranky about something that had been nagging him…
"Hey, Cranky! Who's Jumpman?"
"Jumpman?"
"Jumpman!" Diddy repeated. "Who's Jumpman?"
"Why are you asking?"
"I heard Wrinkly talk about it."
"You actually listened to something for once?" an incredulous Cranky asked.
"Yes… Tell me about him! I want you to tell me that story!"
"Okay, okay! I'll do it! Just let me sit down first!"
Cranky hopped onto a rocking chair and took a deep breath. "Are you sure you want me to tell you the story?"
Diddy nodded frantically.
"Alright, then… This is the tale of Jumpman, his lovely girlfriend, and Donkey Kong, Senior… me."
