Gumdrops, Sugar Candy and Chocolate Bonbons

Once, in a far away village in a small part of the land of gnomes and elves and goblins, also called Zephrak, lived, Marty Bart, the Mayor of Penciltown, where witches, warlocks and wizards lived. Marty Bart was a plump man with light blue eyes and a small nose. He was always cheerful and happy and liked to drink chocolate milk shake. Now, the Zephrakians thought this a real threat towards them as they only ate gumdrops and sugar candy and thus, their teeth were all black. So, they thought of playing a nasty trick on the Mayor of Penciltown.

One day, as Marty was putting on his Bermudas and a blue T-shirt with Jadish fruits all over it, the Zephrakians sneaked to the front door, put a banana peel in front of it and poured two buckets of muddy water in the driveway. The Mayor, not knowing this, got dressed, stepped out of his house, slipped on the banana peel and fell straight in the muddy water. The Zephrakians were watching from behind Yula bushes which gave them nice protection and were laughing so loudly that Marty heard them. And so, he hurriedly got up, took out his wand and cast a spell at them to make them do summersaults over and over again…

He reached Town Triangle in Penciltown where The Law of Magic Association was situated. He ran up the stairs and reached his office just in time for his important meeting with the Chief of Woojuloosaz, Zulu Ku Rasa. He was a tall man with round spectacles and no hair who wore orangish-pinkish-brownish robes with the Woojuloosaz’s flag’s picture-a sphinx standing on the moon with phoenix-shaped clouds behind. He and Marty were about to discuss the strange case of gumdrops and sugar candy falling from the heavens.

They went into the meeting room where they spoke about important matters and slowly about the raining of gumdrops and sugar candy. They came to the conclusion that when people are making up bedtime stories, gumdrops and sugar candy are showered all over the citizens. They finished their meeting and were heading out of the meeting room. At that moment, Barty Mart, Marty Bart’s assistant, came up to them and said with an enthusiastic voice, ‘Sir, the spaceship, Victory, is almost complete. We will be off to space in a couple of days. Is it not great news?’ To this, Marty replied contently, ‘Oh! That is, of course, glorious news.’

Marty was impatient. He wanted to take-off as soon as possible. So, on Thursday, they took-off in the spaceship, Victory. They went on and on and on for miles and miles to reach the planet of Ozox. They passed billions and trillions of stars, including the sun and all the five planets, Waterhook, Prottyfad, Staplefaw, Knawz and Oeutribaffles to reach Ozox. They got off the spaceship and walked for three kilometers, Marty sitting down on the green sand every few minutes. At last, they reached the Toffee Facility where they were taken by two violet-coloured aliens to the chief of the Facility. The chief was a thin, orange-coloured man with three pimples on his left cheek and two on his right cheek and freckles on his face. He asked Marty the reason for his arrival. Marty said that he had come to request them to also shower upon them chocolate bonbons. The chief thought about this and said that he will gladly take up the job. After saying this, Marty and Barty took their absence and headed for the ship. They got in and were off to Dewhue, the planet where they lived.

The very next day, Marty woke up and went straight to the window, only to find that the street was covered with not only gumdrops and sugar candy but also chocolate bonbons. He ran out quickly, collected some of the chocolate bonbons, went back to his house and made chocolate milk shake. The Zephrakians were spying on him and saw that he was drinking chocolate milkshake. At seeing this, Higgle, a gnome, said, ‘We will get him next time!’ and they slowly walked away.
