3. Chapter 3

Mummipokey hummed to himself merrily as Toadette skipped over, wanting to get a special antique.

"Heya, Mr. Mummified Pokey!" Toadette giggled as she twirled around, innocently placing her hands behind her back. "Do you have anything special for a sweet little girl like me?"

Mummipokey nodded his head as he smiled. "As a matter of fact, I do..." He then took out a bright red umbrella, handing it over to Toadette. "This umbrella... is not ordinary. It belonged to a king."

Toadette gasped as her eyes widened. "A King!?" She exclaimed, shocked.

Mummipokey chuckled as he nodded his head. "That's right. He was a king of a long forgotten land where they worshiped umbrellas day and night. Umbrellas were top priority, and everyone who didn't have one were hanged..." He closed his eyes as he continued making up stories. "This umbrella saved the king from numerous attacks, and it's quite the collector's item!"

"I'll pay a thousand of my dollars for it!" Toadette exclaimed as she held a huge pile of green dollar bills, placing it on the counter as she took the red umbrella from Mummipokey, gleefully heading towards the eastern direction.

Mummipokey chuckled as he looked at the huge amount of money he made. "Heh... treating these antiques as something much more than trash really does pay off!"
