How Hide-and-Seek Was Made
by Jay, age 8, Vermont
Dear Story Pirates,
My name is Jay. I’m 8 years old and I was born in South Korea, but now I live in America. My story is called How Hide-and-Seek Was Made.And this is how it goes:
One thousand years ago, there were a brother and sister, named Ollie and Hollie. Hollie was good at finding things and Ollie was good at hiding. They lived on a farm with many animals and a ox.
One day, they were hiding so they could skip their chores. But then the ox broke the gate and all the animals got out and hid in the forest. Hollie and Ollie went searching for the animals and they had fun, and almost found them all of them, except the ox. Their mom finds out and cries ‘’Hollie! Ollie! The ox is free!”But just then ,they find the ox and so they don’t get in trouble. And that’s how hide-and-seek was made.
P.S.
I listen to your stories every night, they’re very good, thanks.
Love,
Jay

YAAAHHHHHHWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Good morning, myself. I think I’m going to go to CoffeeCoffee ShopShop for breakfast today. YAAAAAWWWHHWNNNWNWN.
Ok, let’s go change. I’m going to change into my snazzy clothes and my snazzy shoes and my snazzy hat and my snazzy glasses and my snazzy wig. I mean toupee. Hair! Just hair!
Then he walked downstairs into his SnazzySnazzy house. Ok lets go to my SnazzySnazzyToupeeCar. The car was an RV because he likes travelling a lot because he’s usually bored in the SnazzySnazzyHouse.
Let’s drive to the CoffeeCoffee ShopShop! OK, we’re here! Let’s go outside, open the door.
Ooh, this place looks very nice!
Ding ding!
Oh my goodness, there are so many people here. This place must be so good. Maybe it’s because people are so sleepy? Maybe everyone just woke up and needs lots of coffee.
“Hello, would you like to go to your table?”
“Obvviuosly…!”
“What would you like to order?”
“A decaf coffee and a hashbrown wrap”
“Ok!”
Part 2: The Next Day!
“Oh no, I have a flight today! I’m going to fly to New Zealand today! But first, I have to go to CoffeeCoffee ShopShop! I am so tired. Who cares if I miss my flight. It’s only for work. I don’t think that my government job is that important. I think going to CoffeeCoffee ShopShop is more important than being PRESIDENT!”
Inner voice: Just get the coffee! I don’t think your work trip is that important!
Outer voice: Oh yeah inner voice, you’re so right. So let’s go to my very very VERY SnazzyRV. And go get my very very VERRRYYYYY snazzy coffee from the very SNAZZY CoffeeCoffee ShopShop.
Drive drive drive drive drive…..
Drive drive drive drive drive…..

Drive drive drive drive drive…..
100 drives…
Oh that took one hour. Oh GPS you’re the worst! Oh look, I’m here!
“Hello, I’d like my usual please. Oh look, my boss is calling:”
“You missed your flight. You’re fired.”
“Come onnnnn, I thought it was a good idea!”
“No. You’re fired.”
THE END!

Person: I’ll pay 40,000,000!
Tvhb: sold!
Tvhb: our best company is hamster gum. You may be wondering, is it gum for hamsters? Is it gum made out of hamsters? It’s actually a company that makes machines that produce an infinite amount of cheese that a hamster farted on.

Tvhb: Sold!
Tvhb: Auqabus!

Mom of kid: that’s enough tv go do your chores.
Kid: ok

Kid: I’ll get it mom!

Kid: hey weren’t you the president of the Company Company?
Tvhb: by your use of ‘weren’t’ I assume you saw episode 118?
Kid: yep.
Tvhb: mind if I crash here for somewhere from 1 to 1,648 weeks?
