STORY EXTRAORDINAIRE
The llama was definitely dead.
"What are we going to tell Uncle Bif?" Daisy prodded the stiff animal with her toe, hoping the slightest twitch from the llama would prove them wrong.
Nothing.
Daisy's older brother Gaff shrugged and squatted by the llama's head. "It's a week's worth of meat."
"But he's a vegetarian," Daisy whined.
ReplyDelete"Llama's a vegetable."
"No it's not."
Her brother was an idiot. Worse than that, Uncle Bif liked the llama more than either of them. It was in the will, and now that it was dead, she and her brother would be out on their butts.

"Oh yeah Killer pepper strikes again.' Daisy lets his lids snap back into place. "Think you can see straight enough to get the darn jacket off the goat."
ReplyDelete"Think you can see straight enough not do that again?"
"Just get the jacket. Oh, and the shoes too!"
She smiled. Gaff would fit the disguise perfectly. His webbed feet might be a little hard to conceal... but he was the same size as the llama. They'd often shared fashion tips.
ReplyDelete"Now, where can I find some SuperGlue?"
It would take a lot to cover up his pesky feathers.
"You used it up when you glued these dumb feathers onto me," Gaff said, giving her a death glare.
ReplyDeleteDaisy scratched her ear. "It was necessary to get you through security at Duck Palace. But that's irrelevant now that the great Dali Llama is dead. Our quest to bring him
