Ted and Jake Go to Yellowstone

Ted and his friend Jake have been writing chapters of Magic Tree House books back and forth.  Here is Ted's newest chapter.  I think he'll be a good writer someday!  I plan on having him start out with my hanger articles next week.   

Ted and Jake Go to Yellowstone

Ted and Jake went into the Frog Creek Woods in Pennsylvania and they climbed up into the Magic Tree House.  They found a book that said "Yellowstone" on it.  They said, "We wish we could go there."  The wind started to blow, the tree house started to spin.  It went faster and faster and then everything was still.  Absolutely still.

They looked out the window and saw a bunch o' bison tooting into a gyser.  One bison was actually sitting on a gyser and it shot him all the way to outer space!  A gyser is a hole in the ground.  It does stink like a toot for real!  It is full of steam and hot water.  It blows out of the hole and stinks even worse than before.  

Jake was like, "Wow! It really does stink for real!"  He had never seen a gyser before.  Ted said, "Let's go sit on one like the bison!"  They started down the ladder.  They went to sit on the gyser like they wanted to.  Jake said, "Are you sure about this Ted?"  Ted said, "Of course, Jake.  This is a great choice for travelling.  It will be much faster than walking. It might send us right where the thing is that we need for our mission."

They sit on Old Faithful and wait for the stinkin' explosion.  They peed in the gyser to increase the pressure.  "It worked!" said Jake as they shot all the way to Pluto.  Luckily, there was a big trampoline there that bounced them all the way back to Yellowstone.  Ted said, "That was fun!"

They landed at the top of a huge waterfall that looked like a river dumping off a cliff.  It was so loud that they couldn't hear each other's toots.  They threw some rocks in the big white water.  Then they saw a crazy chipmunk making nuts fall out of his mouth across the waterfall.  "It's gonna kill us by blasting nuts out of its mouth!" Ted screamed.  They tried to run, but it was too late.  The chipmunk already blasted a bomb nut into the air.  It opened up and missles shot out.  He shot even more nuts with missles!  

They stopped dead in their tracks when they saw a wolf howling right in their face.  Jake said, "Way-yah! Toot blasters to the rescue!" as he drop kicked the crazy howling tooting wolf into the humongous waterfall where it was drowned.  "Thank you, my friend." said Ted lovingly to his friend Jake.  

A moose walked by, so Jake hopped on it.  "Are you crazy?" said Ted.  "Come on Ted, he's nice, I can tell."  So, Ted hopped on.  They couldn't believe that a moose was almost as tall as the ceiling in their living room!  "Giddee Up Yah Yah!" said Jake.  "Where are we going?" Ted yelled to Jake.  "I don't know!" said Jake.  

They rode it all the way to the top of the mountain only stopping for the moose to eat lily pads.  They named it "Fred".  fred had some stinky toots, some horrible ones, from the stinkin' yucky lily pads, which Fred didn't really like, but he needed to leave a scent trail to find his way home.  Jake was nice and said, "It's okay Fred. It's not nice to smell your toots, my friend, but we know you have to find your way home. Right Fred?"

Fred took them to the top of the mountain in the cold snow.  Ted and Jake said, "Good-bye Fred."  They looked around and spotted a cave with a big hairy stinky bear hibernating in it.  "Shhhh." said Ted.  "I see a golden collar around its neck."  "There's also a medallion on it." said Jake.  "It must have come from a human that died from the hairy stinkin' bear having dinner." said Ted.  "And the bear thought that the golden collar was pretty and wanted to wear it forever!" said Jake.  "Our mission must be to get that collar!" said Ted.  

Jake just ran up and ripped it off of the bear's neck.  He didn't realize it, but he actually ripped the bear's head off trying to get the collar!  "Ooopsie." said Jake.  "MINE!"  Then Ted said, "No fair!"  "Let's just leave the head.  The slobber makes it too slippery to hold." said Jake.  

They rode an eagle almost all the way back to the tree house.  They jumped down and landed on an elk and killed it.  Then they noticed that there were a lot more animals under the elk and they killed them too.  "Let's get out of here before we kill something else!" said Jake.  So they went back in the tree house, found a book about the Frog Creek Woods and wished that they could go back there.  

The wind started to blow, the tree house started to spin faster and faster until everything was still.  Absolutely still.  They heard their Mom's yelling for them to come get some prickly pear stew.  Stacy and Ms. Jen were putting on the final finishing touches.  A cherry on top and a strawberry on top of that and they added a few drops of sugar.
