V IS FOR VITAMINS

"Gilligan, come on!" the Skipper called, and Gilligan finished marking the sign and hurried to catch up to his big buddy.

"I can't believe it didn't work! When I was a kid I made a twelve bucks selling lemonade for only a quarter," Gilligan grumbled, as he took a pole from the Skipper.

"Gilligan, there's only seven of us on the island," the Skipper said,

Gilligan shrugged. "Mr. Howell has lots of money," he offered.

"Yes… but anyway, how did you make that stuff? We don't have any sugar," the Skipper asked.

Gilligan winced. "That explains the girl's reactions," he muttered. "I put coconut milk in it to make it sweet," he said out loud, and the Skipper groaned.

"How did it taste?" he asked, and Gilligan shrugged. "Mary Ann and Ginger didn't tell me, they took a sip, dropped the cup and ran."

The Skipper laughed. "You're too much, little buddy!"

They got to the lagoon and cast their lines. Gilligan sat on a rock while he waited for a fish to bite.
