| “Sure thing duck. We’ll get right on that. Hey Fred! Find out if the buzzards and vultures are in the mood for duck?” Dan quirked back. “Quite amusing sir. Very funny stuff indeed. Tell me, is the reason you are out here is because you still struggle with championing that whole … going to the bathroom without getting any down the leg, thing? You keep trying. I would suggest a book called, ‘Pooping for Dummies’. It will have you back inside the castle in no time.” “We’ll see how amusing YOU are, when the vultures and buzzards are through with you. Ha ah ah.” The big snow goose laughed. Ozzy took that to be a signal they could enter the castle so he wasted no time. “Move along duck!” Buzzy jumped into character and gave Dan a push. “You heard him bug-eater. Move along!” “What about the old lady and donkey?” The big goose asked. “What about them?” Buzzy replied. “Cleaning lady and her ride.” Then Buzzy let go a loud laugh. “Feed them to the vutures and buzzards too. The old lady looks tough but I bet the donkey still tastes good.” “You buzzards and vultures are a disgusting lot, but I suppose you’re necessary.” Said the goose. “If you are going to be disgusting then you must be necessary.” Dan smirked. “So what’s your excuse?” He said to the big goose. Buzzy shoved his prisoner forward before Dan’s mouth could get them into serious trouble. “I dated your mother before you were born.” Dan hollered over his shoulder. “Terrible way to treat your reluctive father. I regret ever sitting on your egg!” “Will you shut up?!!!” Ozzy scolded Dan. “The idea was to get past them, not to make them so angry they decide to personally escort you to the gallows.” “Good point. I’ll shut up.” Dan replied. next page |  |
