Crumpled Home

(walking back to the house)

RJ: Aaaarrrrrrrgggghh. Mozzies! I can’t stand mozzies!

Dad: I know, they’re terrible. What don’t you like about them?

RJ: After they bite me, I get so … aaaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhh… itchy!

Dad: I’ll see if we can get some cream on that after we get inside.

RJ: Thanks.

Dad: So, can you think of a way to stop getting bitten so much?

RJ: Umm… Yes! I wish I could turn into a mosquito, then I’d be safe!

LR: (concerned) Let’s not go to Africa.

Dad: Why not?

LR: Mosquitoes. They have a lot and some of them can make you really sick.

Dad: True. We could wear repellent to keep them away though.

RJ: (alarmed) We have to go to Africa! HAVE TO!

Dad & LR: Huh?

RJ: The Pappone fish are there waiting for us! They live in the jungle cities! We have to go and see them!
