11. Chapter 11

Mummipokey was busy selling useless knick knacks, when Vivian came up to his stand.

"Excuse me, Mr. Mummified Cactus," Vivian asked as she held her hands together, innocently smiling as she giggled briefly. "Do you have any yummy sweets here?"

Mummipokey chuckled as he move side to side. "Well, not really, but I have just the thing to make you get them easier!" As he was about to get a useless knick knack, he noticed Chief Chilly staring at him from across the stand.

"Don't con the customers." Chief Chilly stated as he moved away from the base.

Mummipokey chuckled nervously, moving slower. "Ehehehe... of course..." He then pulled out a worn out cardboard box, handing it to Vivian. "This box has had many uses, but it would make the best out of containing sweets!"

Vivian gawked as she held the cardboard box, murmuring as she glanced back up at Mummipokey. "But... it's completely worn out. And it smells funny."

"That's because it was used in many wars and adventures, my girl." Mummipokey lied as he managed to convince Vivian that it was true. "Don't judge a book by its cover, or in this case, the box. It's extremely handy."

Vivian giggled as she gladly paid Mummipokey, humming merrily as she headed towards the west, with Mummipokey chuckling to himself as he made a sucker out of another gullible customer, being well meaning of course.
