Billy the Asparagus: An Epic Adventure!

So Billy was a vegetable who lived in one of those plastic bags they give you at grocery stores for produce with his brothers.  He took care of them when they were sick and helped them with their math homework.  He was a pretty helpful guy.  He always dreamed of getting out of Refrigerator Land, but being the oldest asparagus in the whole city, he had to stay with his brothers still, but inside, Billy knew he could never give them up for anything in the world.  One night, he lay awake in his cabbage bed, looking at the shelf above him.  He wondered what would happen if he left.  Would he be successful as an artist?  What would happen to his brothers if he wasn’t around?  He wished for the best, took a chance, packed his things, and left a note for his oldest brother, Jim, to take care while he was away, and thus began Billy’s great escape from Refrigerator Land.

Now, on his way out, a potato caught BIlly’s head.

“Please! I know you are escaping, let me come.  People wanna make me get off the banana couch!”

“PJ, I don’t think…” Billy paused.  He may need some assistance.  “Oh, alright, you can follow.”

“Thank you!” said PJ.

A few days later, PJ Potato was lying on the dog bed outside the house.  “Come one! We need to move! Ahh!” urged Billy as a huge brown dog started inching towards them.

“Noooo…..” PJ groaned, not seeing the rabid canine.

The dog crouched and lunged for the vegetables.  Billy rolled PJ out of the way.  Then the potato realized what was going on, hopped up and ran as fast as his fat, stubby legs could take him.

“You saved me!” PJ exclaimed.

The very next day, Billy got his side punctured by a fence.

“HELP!” Billy screamed.

“Geez, no.” PJ said. “I’m tired.”
