#13 Weather It Out

It was a quaint little day that required nothing more than a slight shower forecast in the afternoon to make it interesting. Since days like that can be quite boring, we'll skip to the day after.

"Does it ever bother you Pit, that the weather forecast yesterday was off?" asked Bob.

"Yes, I do believe I was wrong to assume so," replied Pit.

"That's true. However, this is the first time Pupoojomaro was off," noted Bob.

Pit's face suddenly lit up. Bob saw a blind deer at the window and immediately knew what Pit was going to say.

"And I have no eye deer why...," said Pit much to Bob's suspicion.

"Are we still talking about the weather?" Bob asked.

"I don't know," replied Pit, "Whether it's the weather or whether it's leather we should make sure it lathers."

With a frown and a squint, Bob exclaimed, "We're not on the same page are we?"

"I'm on page thirty eight," Pit said, "But perhaps we're just not reading the same book at all. Grab your hat Bob! Let's go!"

The epiphany that Pit received was in fact, connected to the issue Bob brought up. And it was also connected with the fact that the day before yesterday, Pit had over heard Pupoojomaro telling Mr. Grocer that he was having quite a bad flu.

Bob and Pit arrived at Pupoojomaro's house. And quietly, with the stealth of an elephant, and the elegance of a panda, Pit broke in the house by throwing Bob at the window.

Pupoojomaro was sitting in the living room and saw the whole commotion with his own eyes. Jumped on his feet, and exclaimed, "What are you trying to do Pit...?"

Before Pupoojomaro could finish his sentence, Pit charged at him with a pillow and beat the living room daylights out of him.

"Bob! This is the reason why Pupoojomaro's forecast was off," shouted Pit, while bashing Pupoojomaro's head with the pillow, "it's a job hazard inherent in weather forecasters."

Bob, sprawled on the floor still dazed from crashing Windows, managed to murmur, "What happened? Everything turned blue..."

Pit who was almost out of breath, replied, "Bob! When a person has too much weather in his head, his judgement is clouded. That's why, there was no rain yesterday! It's all in Pupoojomaro's head! The clouds surrounded his judgement, and is now pouring inside his head! It isn't the flu, his nose is running like a tap because it's flooding in his head!"

*pop*

Out of Pupoojomaro's left ear, the cloud left him. And Pit finally stopped hitting Pupoojomaro. Pit's method of curing him was a draining process, not just for Pupoojomaro.

Pit helped Pupoojomaro to his bed and poured him a warm glass of water. With a weak voice, Pupoojomaro whispered a thank you to Pit. And soon Pit was on his way back home. Satisfied that he saved a friend from drowning in his thoughts. However, Pit couldn't help feeling that he forgot something.

"Well, as long as we helped someone today," said Pit, reassuring himself, "right Bob? Bob? ......BOB!!"

“It’s Bobana!” exclaimed Bob pointing to the bright object in the sky.
“Hello Bob, hello Pit, sorry I’m late,” shouted Bobana from on top of the flying saucer, “I asked my friend Pupoojomaro to come help.”

Suddenly a small little man jumped out of the flying saucer. He leaped around in a sort of happy manner. He did a few spins and took a bow.

“Hello dear friends,
I’m here to seek,
A cow named Tutti,
Who is very sick!”

With that, Pupoojomaro sprinkled rhyme powder on the rest of this story.

“Oh deary me,
This is dire,
What Tutti needs,
Is induced diarrhea.

Thankfully I brought my tools,
A Scottish bagpipe, filled with tunes.
Nay, you shan’t worry for you must stay cool,
For when I start playing, the needles will come loose.”

So Pupoojomaro with all his might,
Drew the biggest breadth he ever could.
He filled his lungs until they were so tight,
That even his goose who likes to bump, stood.

And he sang,

“Didalee doo, didalee foo,
Momma forgot to give me my food
Didalee la, dedalee ta,
So I called my friends up for a pizza!”

As Pupoo sang,
It was apparent,
That something strange,
Had happened.

Tutti groan a while more,
But suddenly got up on her feet.
The needles had melted at the sound of Pupoos song,
And now where part of her blood stream.

Feeling stronger than before,
Tutti knew the needles played a role.
For the iron from the needles reached her core,
She was now iron-reinforced.

So ended this very strange day,
Of its happenings none ever knew.
For this episode has dragged on too long,
So everyone repeated Pupoojomaro’s song.


“Didalee doo, didalee foo,
Momma forgot to give me my food
Didalee la, dedalee ta,
So I called my friends up for a pizza!”

“Maybe we should call Bobana since he is an expert on animals,” suggested Bob.

“Yes, that is wise. Let’s do,” answered Pit while punching in Bobana’s phone number on his mobile phone, “Bobana, please come quick! We have a professional-blem!”

Once done with the phone call, Pit took off the boxing gloves he used to punch in the phone numbers and passed the beaten up phone to Bob for safe keeping.

“Why do you bash your phone up like that Pit?” wondered Bob.

Pit grinned and sheepishly replied, “Oh, I give the phone a good wallop now and then to keep the battery going. Since the moblie phone is always battered, I don’t have to worry about the battery level falling to low.”

As Bob and Pit waited for Bobana’s arrival, there was a loud thud from a far away tree. Squinting their eyes, Bob and Pit saw two hairy objects on the ground. One was jumping in an erratic manner and the other was waving its hair.

Pit exclaimed, “I think those are the two weird monkeys…”

Before Pit could finish his sentence, Tunic used his super-sneezing power to propel himself within meters of Pit.

“CHIMP! CHIMP! I AM NOT MONKEY!” screamed Tunic, “I’m ashamed to share 99% of the same genetic composition with the likes of you humans who can’t tell a monkey from a chimp!!”

“I’m really sorry,” apologised Pit sincerely, “Have you any news from your space sheep?”

Just then, Sputnik reached where they were. Breathless after the extremely small distant that he covered by using his super power of speed tip-toeing, he managed to reply Pit, “No… The sheep in our spaceship sheepishly told us that he was out of wool…”

“So, wool is what is needed to save this cow?” asked Bob.

“No! Silly, this just means that the sheep’s master, dame and the little boy down the lane can’t have any black wool soup for the next few months,” replied Tunic in a rather irritated tone.

Suddenly, a groan was heard from Tutti.

“I can, see a light…” Tutti said with a very weak voice, “It’s as bright as the sun…”

Tunic gave Tutti a blank stare and said, “That IS the sun.”

“No, it’s not Tunic, look again,” said Sputnik.

Tunic looked again, and to his astonishment, he saw a bright light coming from the middle of a circular object far up in the sky. The object was descending slowly and the light grew brighter and brighter…
