Wendy Rattlebones' Scuff in the Park

    Wendy Rattlebones took her daily route to the library like she did every morning at eight o'clock. She waved at every passerby, rattling her rattlebones as she did. Of course, this would be the day the Mickey Stiffneck decided to wait for her at the park. Mickey couldn't stand Wendy's rattly rattlebones, and he chose to do something about it.

    As Wendy clicked and clacked through the park, Micky stomped and clomped over to her. He picked her up and carried her over to the trash can. Before he threw her in, though, Wiggly Rick slinked and skulked over to Mickey, then slid up right in his face between him and Wendy. He slapped Mickey across the face, causing him to drop Wendy, but Rick scooped one leg behind him and caught her before she and her rattly bones hit the ground.

    "Leave Wendy alone Mickey!" Rick said, and then gently let Wendy back on the ground. Mickey laid there stiff as usual, and refused to say a word.

    "Thank you Rick, you've always got my brittle back and rattly bones!"

    "Any time Wendy! Have a great time at the library!"

    "Thanks! You too. . ." Wendy laughed, "I mean have a good day!"

    Rick laughed back then went on his way to stop further injustice in the town. Wendy proceeded to the library, shaking her rattly rattlebones all the way in, earning her a good "SHHHH!" from the librarian.
