Sparks flew out of Fangs’s mouth.

Only five boys dared try the drink. After one swallow, they dropped the cup and went leaping away as if gravity were out of style. The other boys hung back, looking at Melvin.

The champion calmly spat out his mouthful of ice. He wiped his hands on his towel and took the cup. He made his face as blank as a refrigerator door.

Then without changing expression he drained the cup.

“He isn’t human!” moaned Fangs.

“You’ve got the strongest jaws here,” said Encyclopedia. “Lock them together once you get the stuff down, and you’ll win.”

“Did you see something?” asked Fangs hopefully. “Did you see Melvin cheat?”

“Never mind,” said Encyclopedia. “Just keep your face still and hold the drink in.”

“Okay,” growled Fangs, lowering his head determinedly. “Keep my face still, hold the drink in—I’ll do it! I’ll make them forget Hoover Dam!”

He seized the cup and downed it in two gulps. Then his mighty jaws locked, though his eyes popped in and out and he swayed and bounced around like a rope bridge.

“That’s good enough to win,” said Encyclopedia. “Only Melvin did any better, and he’ll be ruled out of the contest after I speak to the judges!”
