Yoshi is continuing to run down on the sandy path down the treacherous desert route. He squints as the sand blows into his face. Yoshi then trips on a rock, falling flat on the sand, face first. He gets up, shakes his head, and presumes running again.
As the green Yoshisaurus runs, he sees several piles of bones ahead of him. Yoshi then stops, and looks down to see himself sinking in the quicksand! Getting an idea, Yoshi flutters out of the quicksand and jumps onto the pile of bones, waiting a few seconds until he jumped onto another pile of bones. He then skipped onto the nearby pile of bones, but just as he was about to jump onto the fourth pile of bones, he tripped, and landed into the quicksand. Moving his body fast, Yoshi got up and started jumping, getting his body from the quickly shifting down sand. Yoshi then couldn't jump, for his legs were deep into the quicksand. Yoshi cautiously and slowly walked to the next pile of bones ahead of him, half of his body already sunken. He grabs the pile of bones, and climbs out of the quicksand.
Sighing of relief and wiping his forehead with his right hand, he looks at the quicksand, and then spots a orange, moving cactus. He winces, and can clearly see that the moving cactus isn't friendly. Taking out his small, red handbook, Yoshi flipped through the pages to see what the cactus creature really was - a Pokey, which can toss parts of its body at a foe. Just as the handibook said, the Pokey tossed a part of its body at Yoshi, knocking him back into the quicksand. Yoshi quickly climbed back onto the pile of bones, and placing his handibook away, he started pondering on how to get passed the Pokey.
BAM!!!! Another part of the Pokey hit Yoshi right in the nose. Holding his nose in pain, Yoshi cried, but he soon overcome the pain and growled angrily, wiping the cactus needles right off. As the Pokey tossed another part of its body at Yoshi, Yoshi grabbed the part with his tongue, and spat it out back at the Pokey.
FWACK!!!! The Pokey was knocked into the quicksand, slowly going down. Yoshi grinned, and after watching the dangerous cactus sink into the quicksand, Yoshi fluttered across where the Pokey used to be onto another pile of bones. It was then that Yoshi could spot a star ahead of him, resting in the middle of the deep pit of the quicksand.
Gulping, and sweating nervously, Yoshi took all of his courage and backed up a bit, right on the edge of the back of the pile of bones. Just as it looked like he was going to fall back into the quicksand, Yoshi ran off the front end of the pile of bones and fluttered as much as he could to the star. Gasping, Yoshi fell from the air, and landed on the quicksand, slowly sinking. He grabbed the star with his tongue, but thus, it wasn't enough to help Yoshi get out of the quicksand. And thus, Yoshi screamed as he sunk down into the deadly quicksand.
