Dragon Puncher and the Bob-omb
It's a beautiful day at the Mushroom Kingdom where I was relaxing on my bed when suddenly, I saw a black bomb who is walking at me. I looked at it and said, "Wow, that is the most impressive bomb I've ever seen and look, it even has a wind up key. Well, let's try it!"
So I wound him up and then, the fuse on the bomb is set. I smiled to it and said, "There, the bomb is ready and in just one minute, it will explode! I love this bomb."
Then, Mario came in and said to me, "Hey Dragon. What are you holding?"
"Oh, I was just playing with this bomb wind up toy." I replied, "And look, it even has a timer."
Mario looked at it and shouted, "Dragon, that is a Bob-omb! That thing will explode if you press the self-destruct button. Whatever you do, don't press the red button. It will start the one-minute timer!"
"You mean this one?" I asked as I was about to press the red button.
"No! Don't press it!" Mario warned but it was too late. I pressed it and the fuse started to burn. The timer has started.
Mario looked at it and said, "Oh, you pressed it and now, it will explode in less than a minute. Well, let's get rid of it before it goes off. That way, we'll be fine."
"Good call!" I replied as the fuse gets smaller.
So we ran to the living room and I said, "OK, the Bob-omb is placed on the center of the room and now, it is flashing red. That means the Bob-omb will explode in ten seconds! Quick Mario, cover your ears because here it comes…"
Mario agreed as he covered his ears. Then I covered my ears as the timer shows the final five seconds. The Bob-omb counted, "5, 4, 3, 2, 1..."
And then…
And then…
BOOOOOM!
The Bob-omb went off, revealing a surprise party for Dragon Puncher. The gang all came in and shouted, "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DRAGON PUNCHER!"
I was surprised! The Bob-omb gave me a surprise party on my birthday. I looked at the Bob-omb and said, "Thanks for setting off the biggest surprise birthday party, Bob-omb. You're so cool!"
"Anytime!" The Bob-omb replied, "That is why I set the timer for one minute to get you ready for the surprise party and when I explode, it released balloons, confetti, cake, and more! So, happy birthday buddy!"
"Thanks!" I smiled to him.
"Well, care to do the honors of playing Hot Bob-omb?"
"Let's go!" I replied as I pressed the button.
And so, I had a great birthday as the Bob-omb went off with one final bang…
BOOOOOOM!
