African Adventure by patv

 Hey Mon, you want a cool guide? |  I hope these two know where they\'re going! |  (The guides took their money and ran.) "Maybe these guys know where I am." "You fellas from around here?" |
 JLM tried to speak to the spotted fellas. They growled something in a language he did not understand. "Funny looking chaps " he thought, "they don\'t even speak Pignanese!" |  The farther into the jungle he went the stranger the beasts. He spots something on top of the hill. "Is that what I think it is?" A quick look through the binoculars and sure enough ... it\'s Mini Joe Young! |  Well, JLM continued through the jungle, admiring all the beautiful sights and sounds around him. Out of nowhere came flutters from the sky. "Look, flutterbyes everywhere!" |
 "Maybe I can catch a few in my net! Where did they all go?" "Oh, I think I see them coming!" |  (to the sound of "Jaws") da ... dum ... da ... dum ... da ... dum ... da ... dum ... da ... dumdadumdadum ... "Oh my gosh ... them\'s the biggest flutterbyes I ever saw!" "Wait a minute ... those aren\'t flutterbyes! They\'re Africanized Beetles ... HUNGRY Beetles!" |  "Now what am I going to do? They won\'t fit in my net! I\'m gonna be somebody\'s supper!!!" |
 "I know, I\'ll have to use my old trusty Winchester. It\'s my only chance" ** POW! POW!** Take that you monster!! |  Little JLM has wandered the jungles for two more days. He\'s tired and getting hungry. He\'s desperately looking for someone to help him find his way out. He runs across a couple of beasties. "Pardon me, do you know the way out of the jungle?" The two beasties look at each other and wonder what this strange looking guy has said. JLM ponders their growls for a minute and thinks "This is what they call the King of the Beasts?" |  In his frustration he cries out "Doesn\'t anyone around her speak plain Pignanese!" |
 He turns and walks away from the \'beasties\' feeling very low. Suddenly he looks up and a voice says "Hooooo Rrrrrrr Uuuuuu?" "I\'m just a lost piggy looking for a way out of the jungle. Hey, you speak Pignanese!" "Of course I doooooo, I am the wise old Owwwwlll!" |  "If you want to find your way out of the jungle you must find the Great White Rhino." "He knows the secret of the jungle." |  Oh Mister Rhino Sir, can you tell me the secret of the jungle so I can go home?" "Yes, I will tell you. Listen carefully and do everything I say." He whispers the secrets into JLM\'s ear. JLM listens carefully then suddenly thinks to himself "He wants me to do WHAT!" |
 "You have to kiss a Ruby Toad by the light of the full moon at midnight!" "That\'s gross" thought JLM! "How am I ever going to find a Ruby Toad anyway?" As night fell JLM was getting cold, so he built a fire to keep warm by. He could feel the strange creatures lurking about, and he was frightened. |  JLM couldn\'t sleep with the sounds of the night, so he decided to find himself a drink of water. As he was standing by the waterfall he had the feeling that something was watching him. |  Frightened by the feeling that he was being stalked JLM turned to run back to his camp. Suddenly out of nowhere is the weirdest looking thing he had ever seen. No hair, no ears and the most bizarre feet he had ever layed eyes upon. "I hear you\'re looking for me! Wanna smooch?" |
 As last we saw JLM he was pondering his fate. Did he really want to kiss this slimy, hairless creature with no ears? Did he want out of the jungle that bad? He thought about it ... and his stomach got queezy. |  The he realized that he had no choice. Maybe this ugly thing wasn\'t all that bad (he hoped). He jumped off his rock and took a deep breath .... |  As he spit out little pieces of slim he suddenly felt something strange in the air! What\'s HAPPENNNIIINNNNGGGG? |
 There before his eyes was a beautiful sight .... It was the Wish Fairy! Floating above him like a tiny angel! She spoke softly in very clear Pignanese "You shall be rewarded Little Man" "For your kindness to the Ruby Frog you will be given your way out of the jungle" "I must leave you with this thought: Sometimes even the most offensive creatures could turn out to be an angel in disguise" |  In a puff she was gone. But with a swish of her magic wand she granted his wish ... HE WAS GOING HOME! "But wait ... where did she go?" |  As JLM drove away he thought about his adventures. He started humming to himself ... "On the road again ...." "Hmmmm" he thought, " Maybe I could take up singing." But then ... that ... is another story! |
 Thank you, thank you, thank you (taking a bow). And now we would like to thank the entire cast of African Adventure. |  And of course who could forget Mr. Hollywood himself: Jin\'s Little Man |  JLM\'s clothes all came off of stuffed animals. The safari suit came from a stuffed rhino. He doesn\'t fit into his clothes as well as he did in January. He\'s now 5 months old and weighs 40 oz. He will probably top out to about 48 oz. when he\'s finished growing. All the pictures were taken when he was only 6 to 8 wks old! He\'s a pretty easy going guy, but lately he\'s made it known that "dressing up" just isn\'t his forte" .... He\'s gone on to bigger and better things. His full name is Jin\'s Little Man. |
 JLM has been a busy fella lately. He started his show career and is looking forward to finding the girl of his dreams. He\'s been courting a sweet young thing from the same background as his. He\'s just waiting for her to get old enough to "get serious". They make quite a dashing couple. | ||
