Ch. 5: Gurgle in Pet Palace
In Buxotn, Maine; In a pet Store called Pet Palace, there was a Royal Gramma Fish relaxing in a clean tank.
"Gurgle, yu are living the life," said the fish, Gurgle, "A clean tank with no germ in sight. Which is ironic since they're so small you can't see them. But I digress; it's nice being in a clean tank.
Suddenly, the owner of Pet Palace, Warren, came out with a shipment tank.
"Looks like some poor sap has been bought out-of-range and is about to be put in that filthy shipment tank.
Warren came over to Gurgle's bowl with a fishing net.
"And it looks like that poor sap's me! Gurgle cried in panic.
Gurgle was taken out of his bowl, causing him to scream and wiggle in panic, annoying Warren.
"Yeesh, will you calm down?" said Warren in irritaiton, "It's like you're afraid of the littest germ."
He put Gurgle in the bowl and put the bowl in a package box.
A few days later, Gill, Deb, Bloat, and Bubbles looked concern as they saw Gurgle lying in the corner, chanting a rather creepy mantra.
"A clean life is a happy life," said Gurgle i nparanoia, "A clean life is a happy life."
"Let's give him, say, 3 days," said Gill, "Maybe he'll snap out of it."
Gill swam away and the others followed, leavign Gurgle to resume his trauma-induced chanting.
