The glass which was smashed
Ten years later Merry Poppis woke up to the balmy twitter of birds. The first sunbeams of the day stroked his ugly face and dazzled him.
"Wake up, cousin!" a merry voice said, "It's my birthday today!!!"
"Oh, hi! Congrats Fatty Boy", Merry jovially greeted Paddy Deutsch and put on his friendship necklace looking like a half heart (Paddy had the other half).
"Get yourself dressed so we can eat breakfast together!"
Merry dressed himself quickly, and took Paddy under the arm. Together they lollopped downstairs just to show how truly good friends they were.
Despite that they were the best of friends they still were very different by the looks. Paddy was fat as a beach ball, and loved everything that involved food. He also loved superheroes and wanted to be one himself (thereby the nickname Fatty Boy). He had platinum colored hair by nature, and that in combination with his D-cups made him look like a younger and fatter Pamela Anderson.
Merry was skinny due to many causes (he was very picky because he was a spoiled whipster, and he was also allergic to everything sweet). Furthermore Merry had a scar formed as a question mark in the forehead. Paddy did not have one. In contrast with his cousin Merry did not have any ambitions at all, and he did not look like a celebrity either, rather an ugly little boy with blue-black hair and lime green eyes hidden by a pair of round, big and above all geeky glasses.
Mr Deutsch hugged both of them (while Mrs Deutsch glared so sourly that the milk in the pancakes clabbered). "Jawohl und guten morgen on you, meine little sweethearts, and congratulations little Paddy!"
"I'm not small anymore!" Paddy said gladly, "I'm actually eleven now."
"OK, but sit down and eat so you grow more and while the pancakes are warm, so will you get the presents later."
Mrs Deutsch slapped down the breakfast and toddled away, viciously muttering.
After the breakfast (with sour pancakes) and the presents (Paddy shared five kilos of sweets with Merry which they devoured way too fast so that they whimpering fell to the ground – Merry got an allergic shock but it ceased), the whole family went to a zoo. Except Mrs Deutsch because she was a sourpuss.
Once there they goggled at animals, which one usually does at zoo. In the reptile house Merry sauntered to the most obese snake.
"Ha ha, what a fat snake", said Merry mockingly.
"You have not sssuch a sssuperb physssique yourssselfff", the snake hissed.
Merry, who was unused being offended, at the very least by a snake, started a heated discussion with the snake. Several minutes later said the snake something so intemperately insolent ("Pumpkinsss are disssgusssting!"), that Merry furiously smashed the glass with his fist and thereafter tried to choke the snake.
"Take it back! Damn reptile!"
"Fffuck you, I would give you the fffinger ifff I jussst had one", the snake hissed.
Paddy, alias Fatty Boy, came toddling to them. "What're you doing?"
"The snake insulted me!"
"What? How can a snake insult you?"
Merry froze to reflect. When he did not find any normal answer he gave up the fight with the snake, and lulled away with Paddy to find Mr Deutsch. It was not until they were on their way back from the reptile house when Merry discovered that the glass he had broken was whole again. Unfortunately the snake was on the outside of the glass.
"Niccce of you to releassse me, but I ssstill hate both you and pumpkinsss", the snake hissed. Merry settled for shaking his fist.
