Interlude

“Yep,” said Didi Dodo. “Our undercover operation is going so well, no one here has any idea who we really are!” “KOKO! DIDI!” someone yelled.

It was Penguini! We were standing right in front of his food stand.

A big sign said: EAT PENGUINI’S SPUG-ETTI CONES!

“Welcome my friends, KOKO and DIDI, to Penguini’s Humanland Food Stand.”

“Please, Penguini, don’t say our names,” whispered Didi. “We are undercover as a normal family. Pretend you do not know us.”

“AH! I understand,” said Penguini. “Then maybe you would like to eat some of my spug-etti cones? Normal families love them!”

“What are you telling me with the spug yeti?” I asked, looking around for Bigfoot.

“It’s spaghetti in a cone so you can eat it while you walk around the park!” said Penguini.

“Genius!” said the first baby chick.

“Brilliant!” said the second baby chick.

“Delizioso!” said the third baby chick, who can speak Italian.

“WE WUNT IT NOW!” yelled the baby zebra.

“But I’m all out of money!” I yelled back.

“They are free for you, my friends who I pretend I do not know,” said Penguini.

He served us six spug-etti cones. Each cone was filled with spaghetti, sauce, and meatballs.

“What do you say?” asked Didi in her motherly voice.

“Fank yoo,” said all the baby animals.

“It IS delizioso!” I said. “Penguini, you are truly a master chef!”

“Thank you so much, dodo I pretend I don’t know,” said Penguini. “But if I was a true master, I could figure out how to make Spaghetti-on-a-Stick! That would sell even better than spaghetti in a cone! But . . . it is not so easy!”

Penguini took us into his food stand’s kitchen, where there were boxes and boxes of corn dogs.

He picked up a corn dog and put spaghetti on it. The spaghetti slid off onto the floor.

“Have you tried wrapping the spaghetti around the corn dog?” asked Didi.

“Yes, but then the meatballs roll off,” said Penguini, sadly. Then he got happy again. “By the way, have you seen my giant meatball?”

Penguini waved a flipper at the giant ball of meat that loomed over his food stand.

“Amazing!” said Didi. “What keeps it from rolling away?”

“It’s propped up by a bronze statue of the famous Greek warrior Achilles.”

“Hmm,” I said. “To me that doesn’t seem like a very safe way to prop up a giant meatball!”
