Bonjour! My name is Melvin! I am an egg! My mother and father are those funny looking creatures up there. My guess is as good as yours when it comes to what they are. I was given birth to on July 7th 1987. There was a complication with my birth...could you guess? My shell became so strong that I cannot get out of it! This makes me very sad. But along in my life I have learned to live with my egginess. I at least have a protective shell for when it starts to rain gumdrops. Those things can kill you! No joke! My uncle died from having 7 concussions through raining gumdrops! It is a very sad truth...our family has had to deal with. But back to the story...my story! There was just one problem with my egginess....I had problems getting around...big problem huh? I had to stay on sloped ground all the time. So my parents would carry me around in their mouths...garlic breath...gross! So I got a permanent smell to me. This soon became a problem too. A toad sitting on a toadstool one day...as I was rolling about.......ate me! He must have thought I was a garlic clove or something! He carried me around for quite awhile. When he finally spit me out...my shell was moist...and not as strong. I tryed sticking my legs and arms out...and zooteloo! It worked! but the only problem was that now I got my hands and feet out...but the rest of me was still in. This was another problem. Do you remember the gumdrops? Well they started to fall just about the time I got my legs and arms out. Pound Pound..they would shake the ground. I had an idea! Lightbulb on top of my head! I ran to Misty Raccoon's house. Then I asked her where I could find Mother Nature! She told me to follow the red brick road...I did. I ended up at the end of the rainbow. There was no gold...it was a myth..U have all been lied to! ha Ha ha! anywayz...I ran up to a cabbage...a giant cabbage. I put my hand on the side of it..and it gave way...I went tumbling into the cabbage. There was a scary looking lady standing there looking down upon me! She introduced herself! She was Mother Nature! I told her about my whole dilemma and about my uncle. She looked sad. She insisted that that the rain was necessary...so she could make gumdrop pie...and not have to buy the gumdrops. I looked up at her with no eyes at all.......and replied......u witch! Right then I used my super strength and pulled a frying pan out of my pocket and hit her over then head. There was a buzzing in the air after that. She was lying dead on the floor. I went over to the rain machine and pulled the lever. The rain stopped and so did the dying. I was then crowned Eggy Nature! aka Melvin!
