Hairy Joe
Once upon a time there was a man who lived way up in the mountains named Hairy Joe. He lived by himself and had a dog that wasn’t so smart but he got the job done. Everyday Hairy Joe would go hunting for some birds. Hairy Joe had a perfect shot with his Javelin. Anyway he had to live through the winter which was cold but he survived. Anyway one day he was walking to his shed nearby his house and tripped over a rope, and his head landed on a hard rock and he was passed out for 3 hours.
He woke up 3 hours later and said “where am I?” A man walked in and said “you’re in the Temple of Wonders.” Hairy asked “well sir what’s your name?” The man said “my name is Raspberry Stuffed Potatoes, but you can just call me Big R.” Hairy said “ok Big R what do you need?” Well it seems you’re the only one who could help us. Big R said “someone robbed the temple of wonders!” Hairy said “quick question what is the Temple of Wonders?” Big R said “the Temple of Wonders is a beautiful place where people’s wonders are stored. For an example when someone wished they had 1,000,000 dollars it goes to the Temple of Wonders.”
“But the point is someone stole all the wishes and we don’t know who. So it’s up to you to find this robber.” Hairy said “Okay and what shall I get for a reward?” Big R said “I’ll give you your 2 wishes, you’ve always wanted. “Hairy said “exactly what are the wishes… I’ve seemed to forget.” Big R said “you’ll figure it out sooner or later let it be a surprise to you from me.” Hairy said “so how do I find this robber?” Big R said “remember this is a whole new world and things may look different.” Hairy said “how different?” Big R said “you’ll see just walk through this door.”
Hairy said “okay here I go.” Big R said “wait I forgot to tell you.” Hairy said “tell me what.” Big R said “well you only have 50 hours and then you’re stuck here forever.” Hairy said “what!” Big R said “just go, trust me I highly doubt it’s going to happen with someone like you.” Hairy said “thanks.” Big R said “ok go capture this thief”. Hairy said “okay here I go!” As Hairy was falling and screaming he landed perfectly on the ground it was almost like he was invincible. Anyway Hairy was off he searched for him for days. Hairy met this man in a town who told him he might know someone who could help him.
He told Hairy to search in a cave and he would find an old man who knew what happened. Hairy agreed and went to search. As hairy entered the cave in was dark and many spider webs were lurking down on Hairy. Hairy took out his pocket knife he always has had in his fur boots. But just then Hairy saw something he’s never seen before a spider the size of a bear. Hairy didn’t know how to kill it or attack It. Hairy took his pocket knife aimed and threw it and hit the spider’s eye it made strange crying noises and ran away.
As he got further in the cave he found skeletons. There were many other tunnels. Hairy just went with the tunnel that felt right. He found a door and knocked. Nothing, he open the door the old man was laying on the ground. Hairy checked his pulse, he’s alive! Hairy picked up the old man and ran as fast as he could to get out of there. He could see the door! All of a sudden the giant spider came down and bite his arm. He yelled at the top of his lungs in pain. He set down the old man. He ripped out the pocket knife he threw from before and stabbed the spider several times. The spider collapsed. Hairy could feel the poison rushing through his body. Hairy grabbed the old man and ran as fast he could he got him to a doctor. Hairy searched for hours he was wasting time.
He ran up to at least 14 people and asked them are you a doctor? Finally a man who could help. Hairy laid him upon a table and the doctor said he needs a lot of treatment. Hairy asked will he be okay!! The doctor said he’ll be fine but will you be? Hairy lifted his arm. The doctor said you should be fine first let me clean the wound. The poison didn’t get very far.
I looked at the time 5 hours were left and the old man woke up. He asked where am I. Hairy said “never mind that where is the robber.” He said “ah yes he’s hidden in the mountains of egg yolk.” Hairy asked where that is?? The old man said “walk down south and you’ll see 5 mountains and yolk of wisdom on them.” that’s why it’s called egg yolk. Anyway go get him!! Then hairy was off!! Hairy looked at the time 1 hour was left!! When he approached the mountains he could see a cave, which hairy thought that’s where he could possibly be!!
Hairy spotted the robber using some of the wishes. Hairy jumped out and said “give me back those wishes you thief!” The robber had a mask on! The robber ran around a rock. Hairy ran as fast as he could. But just then he dove and next thing you know hairy was on top of the robber. Hairy said “give me the wishes now I need to get home.” Hairy reached into the robbers pocket and grabbed a small bottle. Hairy said “is this some kind of joke.” The robber said “no those are all the wishes I swear.” Hairy took the wishes and the robber too. Hairy ripped the mask off of the robber it was the guy from the temple, Big R. Hairy said “what is this.” Big R said “congratulations you passed.” Hairy said “passed what.” Big R said “the test.” Hairy flew off back into his own world.
As hairy got back to his universe he felt something heavy in his pockets, the 2 wishes I’ve always wanted. Hairy opened the bottle his family and friends were at his house and there was a huge feast. Hairy sat with his family and had a great 20 years left with them.
