Puffy Eats My Homework!
- They landed softly, staring around in awe at the dark purple cave they were trapped in- a cave that was actually inside Puffy's stomach!
"How gorgeous you look! Please let us through."

"S kippy, did you feed Puffy?" Trippy asked, running around the castle to find her little brother. Trippy and Skippy were the princess and prince of the Land of Sunshine, and they had access to a magical set of books that could take them to mystical lands.
Puffy was a baby dragon they had rescued during one of their magical adventures.
"I tried, but he wouldn't eat anything!" Skippy replied. Trippy looked at Puffy the Dragon suspiciously. He stared back at her with an innocent expression.
"With his appetite, I thought he'd have eaten our chairs by now. He's always hungry!" Trippy muttered.
Puffy blinked innocently. Crossing her arms over her chest, Trippy stared at the baby dragon, waiting for him to do something.
"Open your mouth," Trippy finally commanded.
The dragon shook his head.
"Puffy…" Trippy warned.
Pouting, Puffy reluctantly opened his mouth, and out fell rolls of paper drenched in saliva.
"Ew…" Skippy muttered, making a face.
"That's my homework!" Trippy cried. "I have to submit it in an hour!"
"You are so dead," Skippy joked, his eyes gleaming with humor.
"Shut up!" Trippy told him. "There has to be a way…"
Puffy turned around and left. He returned a few minutes later, pushing a heavy book toward them.
The Stomach of a Dragon
Trippy tried to step away, but Puffy opened the book with his claws, and both Trippy and Skippy were suddenly pulled inside the book, landing in Puffy's stomach, sliding down a slimy, sickeningly wet pipe.
"Ew, ew, ew," Skippy murmured, wiping his arms covered in some strange brown liquid.
They landed softly, staring around in awe at the dark purple cave they were trapped in- a cave that was actually inside Puffy's stomach!
The first thing they noticed was a jar of fireflies. Trippy lifted it, and sure enough, it gave enough light for them to see the whole stomach properly. Just as they felt a little better, a marble came hopping toward them. They barely managed to get out of its way in time.
"Phew," Skippy muttered. "Look, a giant sandwich!" Sure enough, a half-eaten sandwich lay there. As if by magic, the sandwich stood upright and began to sing!
"Welcome to my home! You are soooo welcome here," it sang in an ugly opera voice. "Don't mind the darkness, you'll get used to it. And be careful, the floor is slippery! As humble as it is, my abode it is."
"Your songs don't even rhyme!" Trippy said.
The sandwich glared at her before continuing, "Come through, my dear guests, come through!"
They walked past the singing sandwich to find a huge golden spoon and a huge golden fork.
"Hello!" the fork spoke in a hoarse voice. "To get through, you must bow to my wife, the magical scepter and queen of this place."
"She's not a scepter! She's a spoon!" Skippy said, rolling his eyes.
The fork prepared to launch itself at Skippy when Trippy suddenly bowed to the spoon.
"Oh, mighty Queen, how gorgeous you look. Please let us through."
The spoon glanced at Skippy, who rolled his eyes but bowed anyway. The fork stepped aside, and they were about to continue when a button came rolling down. Skippy hopped away, but it hit Trippy's arm, and she fell onto the floor, right into a pile of gooey digestive juices.
"Ew!" Trippy exclaimed.
Skippy laughed before helping her to her feet. They thought they were done, but then they spotted Skippy's toy gun!
"I've been looking everywhere for this!" Skippy cried.
The gun turned toward him, and to their surprise, it began shooting!
"Help!" Skippy shouted.
Trippy quickly pulled him out of the way, but the gun did not stop shooting. They ran with all their might, finally reaching Trippy's homework.
"Thank God!"
Trippy barely touched the papers when they were suddenly pushed out of the place and down a tunnel. They landed on a pile of Trippy's poop!
The baby dragon stared at them innocently.
"At least you got your homework!" Skippy pointed out.
