=The Adventure=

Once, while I was in my study. . . studying, I heard a sharp knock on my door. I arrived and a man in white crammed an __envelope__ into my hands. I went back to my study and he hurried away. I opened it and found a letter from the __emperor__ requesting my service. I was to lead an __expidition__ to China. If I did so, I would recieve an unbelieveably large reward.

Shortly after arriving, I ran into the men that were said to be my assistants. Oddly, one was short, fat and dumb, the next tall, skinny and smart, and the last just had a mullet. We set of soon to recover the artifact which we were commanded. We soon found what appeared to be a large tomb. Once inside, we were shocked to see artifact out yonder in the open. Before we could retrive it, we were bombarded by a volley of MONKEYS! The beasts jumped left and right while throwing watermelons and bananas. The short assisstant caught the watermelons and bananas in his mouth. The next hid behind a large rock. The last looked in a mirror and told himself how handsome he was. I had a plan. I picked up the fat assisstant and held him up as a human shield. I ran protected while simply ate the enemies projectiles right out of the air. I snatched up the __emblem__ off of the alter and proceeded to run out of the cave. The the others followed. So did the monkeys. In order to lose them, we jumped into the river.

Once home, I reported to the emperor. "Did you get it?" he said. I handed him the artifact. "Now," he said solemnly, "about your reward. Chives!" I couldn't believe my eyes. What I saw was a //monkey// walk out into the open. "Chives? Meet your new owner." He turned to me. "I don't want him. Unfortuneately, the merchant I bought him from is a strong disbeliever in refunds. All this monkey does is throw fruit at me!" "Believe me," I said, "I know what you mean."
