The Blasted Rock The Blasted Rock
It was a dark and stormy night. The wind howled and the shutters shook. The lightning flashed and the thunder boomed. It had been a dull and boring summer and the pirate brother and the captain brother wanted some excitment.
"Let's go rowing!" said the pirate brother.
"In dis wever?" questioned the sea captain, Pete.
"Sure, it'le be fun."
"Oh, allze rights Martizes!" said Pete The sea captain's name was Marty.
They pulled on their heavy wool sweaters and stomped on their boots. Marty pushed open the door and a cold gust of wind, rain, and sleet flew in.
There was a steep rocky pass leading down to the ocean from Pete's house called Pink Hippo Crag. Pete and Marty were stumbling down it with the boat over their heads when Marty, who was in front, ran into something hard and sharp.
"OW!" he yelled over the wind,"I've struck something!" They both slamed down the canoe.
"Doze you tink it's gald?" said Pete thinking he might become rich. (He was dumb because he had never gone to school.)
It was a big boulder, right in the middle of Pink Hippo Crag.
"How are we gonna git ta the ocean now?" said Pete.
"We could push the boat over and do somersaults over it." said Marty
"But I don'tzes news how ta do zomerzaltze!" said Pete. "Maybe we could digze a tunzel throughze it, root's qwite soft y'know."
"No, Pete. It's not a root it's a rock." said Marty.
"No Mardeyzes rootzes grows rocks so weze can'ts dig onder it, we half to dig inze zit."
"Right," said Marty." Lets go back to get some shovels."
Well they went back to the house and got the shovels. Then when they got back Pete found he had his keys in his pocket. So he says, "I'll just puts theis keys on topsze oves thes rook fer safe keepsing cause I mwight loze thems if I takes them digigling with me."
"Right." said Marty.
In about an hour or so they had hardly gotten anywhere. "Let's take a little break." said Marty. Pete agreed.
Now right as they just had sat down on a blueberry patch a big lightning bolt came down from the sky and hit Pete's metal keys. We smart peoples all know that lightning is attracted to metal.
"Holy macaronies, mwi keys!" yelled Pete. He didn't relize that the whole rock was smashed to smithereens, and the pieces flew everywhere!
"Holy Macarel! The rock has smashed to smithereens!" yelled Marty.
So they happiely went on there way, the sun came out and they forgot all about their troubles with the rock. They tried to catch some fish, but they didn't sucseed.(All they caught was a little tadpole, they let it go.) So all together they had a pretty good day(because blasting the rock took all night and they forgot about the rock, so it wasn't as exiting as they thought, so that's the story of the story of the blasted rock! (the end)
