bubbling over over the jungle flashed white You asked for it Red said That’s some thunder Everyone move in closer Jim Jake Jay and Stella moved fast accidentally knocking into Bubbles who was focused on sucking a caramel candy The bump was hard enough that his caramel flew out of his mouth and disappeared somewhere in the darkness Candy Candy Candy Bubbles started to scream Then another huge bang came much louder than the first Your piece of candy is gone now Red said trying to talk some sense into Bubbles The caramel had been Bubbles last piece of candy That had never happened before Bubbles always had some candy tucked away After all candy eating was Bubbles favorite hobby So it was no wonder he got so angry Like he always did a pig from the stars and other stories 7
bubbling over when he got mad he blew himself up into a huge ball Candy Bubbles demanded Candy now Calm down Bubbles Everything will be just fine Matilda said The rain had picked up and there were ominous rumblings which built into a huge explosion of sound It isn’t safe blowing up like that in weather like this Matilda explained patiently Candynowcandynowcandynow Bubbles screamed ignoring Matilda’s attempt to calm him down We found Bubbles candy Jim twittered excitedly It was stuck to Terence’s tail feathers Jake called out But we got it off Jay said Well now you don’t have any reason to puff up like that anymore Matilda said Candy Bubbles said in delight Mineminemine Minecandynow Chirp Blissfully Bubbles started sucking the half-eaten 8 a pig from the stars and other stories
bubbling over candy the brothers had pulled off of Terence’s tail Why are you still puffed up even though you have your candy back Jay asked Jim and Jake looked like they were interested too But Bubbles didn’t hear or wasn’t listening because he was so focused on his beloved candy It’s just like day Stella said looking in amazement at the sky all lit up by lightning Countless lightning strikes flashed at once making the sky look like a broken windshield Bubbles did you hear what Matilda said Red asked interrupting Bubbles looked at Red and then all of the other birds in turn Then he stared at one fixed point and focused But nothing changed he stayed blown up all the way Bubbles looked at the others again a little frantic now Chirp SOS Mayday he said Just then a fierce gust of wind grabbed Bubbles and a pig from the stars and other stories 9
