Springtime With the Wiggles

Mike has a Word With Sam

The Wiggles went back to the Buckets' house.

"Wiggles? You're home already?" said Charlie.

"Yeah. Sam cancelled easter" said Jeff.

"Oh! We're so sorry, dears. We know you were looking forward to your Easter egg hunt" said Mrs Bucket.

"It's not just us. Everyone's sad" said Murray.

"Yeah. But you seem to be taking it rather well" said Charlie.

"That's because Mike and us are gonna fix everything" said Greg.

"So now we're gonna get everyone together to practice doing easter stuff." said Anthony.

The Wiggles got busy while Mike headed back to have a word with Sam.

But he didn't know which word to have.

"I just gotta get this right for the Wiggles" said Mike.

He tripped and got covered with a sheet and a jack-o-lantern over his head.

Mike went into the Fudge Room like that.

Sam thought he was a ghost and fainted.

Mike took the pumpkin and sheet off and said "It's me! Mike!"

He saw Sam's scared face.

"Oh, gee, Pan-cakes. You look like you just saw a ghost. Maybe you better sit down" said Mike.

Sam came to her senses and said "Wait a minute! Mike! What on earth are you doing here?!"

"Well, you see, Sam... Well..." Mike stammered.

"What?!" said Sam.

"The Wiggles are really upset about what happened today" said Mike.

"I see. The Wiggles are upset. Well, what about me? Look at all this mess you've caused! On spring cleaning day no less" Sam shouted.

"I'm not talking about spring cleaning day. I'm talking about..." Mike began.

Sam stuffed a feather duster in his mouth and said "Mike Teavee, do NOT say it! Do not say that word in my Fudge Room" said Sam.

"What word?" said Mike.

"I refuse to say it"

"If you won't tell me what word I'm not supposed to say, then how am I gonna know not to say it?" said Mike.

He guessed different words.

"Is it... strawberries?"

"No"

"Mangoes"

"No!"

"Thingama-whatchama-higgity-jigs?"

"That's not even a word!"

"Onomatopoeia? And that is a word" 

"Why would you say that?"

"Why wouldn't you say it?" said Mike.

He broke into song.

Onomatopoeia, onomatopoeia

All I wanna be-a is an onomatopoeia 

"Easter! The word is easter!" Sam grunted.

"That was gonna be my next guess" said Mike.

"Oh, Mike, would you please just leave?" said Sam.

"Oh, come on, Sam. Aren't we never ever gonna have another eastery egg hunt again?" said Mike.

"No! Not never ever... NEVER AGAIN!" Sam yelled.

Mike gasped. "But you used to LOVE easter!" 

"Says who?" said Sam.

I beg your pardon, Sam. You did used to love easter.

"Yeah! Says him!" said Mike.

"Why... I don't believe you! I don't believe either of you" said Sam.

Don't you remember what happened back at chapter 3?

"Oh, yeah! That's right. Come on. I'll show you" said Mike.
