The Tales of Huckleberry Hound: Season 1

22. Journey to Imagination Island

Have you ever been to a place where imagination can become reality? A place where your dreams came true? Well, that happened to Huckleberry Hound and his friends one day. You see, it all started when the gang was relaxing at Huck's house. Pixie, Dixie, Mr. Jinks, Yogi Bear, and Boo-Boo were just sitting in the yard and relaxing, while Huck was on his stage, with his top hat on, and his cane in his hand.

"You know, it's pretty quiet here," Dixie sighed. "I wish something exciting would happen."

"Well, we could do a show from home!" Huck said as he did a little dance on stage. "Even if we don't have any new pictures to film, we can always have fun."

"Sounds nice," Jinks said. "But what about an adventure? Something really, really fun?"

"Well, maybe we can make an adventure of our own," Huck suggested. "Let's head on over to the park and see what we can come up with."

"Oh boy, like as long as it's not that dumb pirate island game you made me play on the playground that day," Jinks grumbled. "All those people laughin' at us."

"I don't understand why they were laughin' to begin with," Huck replied. "We weren't doing anything funny."

The gang headed down to the park, and took a little walk along the path, which soon led them to the big bridge that ran over the stream.

"Maybe we can make some mud pies and pretend we're on a special delivery from the swamp bakery!" Pixie suggested.

"Nah, that sounds too yucky and boring," Dixie muttered.

Huck shrugged. "You got any ideas, Yogi?"

"What about..." Yogi paused. Then he let out a gasp of surprise. "Hey, hey, hey!" he cried. "What's that?"

Everyone looked to where Yogi was pointing, and they saw a message in a bottle drifting toward them in the stream! "WOAH!!" they cried.

Huck went over and pulled the bottle out of the water, then opened it. He took the message out and unfolded it. And when he saw what was on it, he was super surprised.

"Leapin' lizards!!" he shouted. "Fellers!! Look!!"

Everyone came up to see what Huck was looking at, and to their surprise, they saw that the message was actually a treasure map!

"It's a map!!" Pixie shouted.

"A treasure map!" Dixie added.

"That can only mean one thing!" Jinks screamed. "Adventure at last!! But... how are we gonna find the treasure?"

"Wait a minute, fellers!" Huck yelled. "There's some writing on the back! It says, 'The treasure is found on Imagination Island. Just use your imagination, and the carpet will take you there!'"

"Imagination Island?"

"Magic carpet?"

"How do we make that appear with our imaginations?" Boo-Boo asked.

"I think the key to it is closing our eyes," Huck replied. "So let's close our eyes, and imagine a magic carpet."

And that's just what they did. And then, just like that, a magic carpet train appeared out of nowhere! The front carpet had a lever that had to be pumped, and there was a caboose on the third carpet. And behind it were two small carpets, big enough for the meeces!

"WOW!!!" they chorused.

"This carpet is big enough for all six of us!" Huck cried. Then he got on the carpet at the very front. "All aboard the Magic Carpet Express!"

Yogi got on the carpet right behind him with Boo-Boo by his side. Jinks got in the caboose, and the meeces got on the small carpets in the very back.

"And away we go!" Huck shouted. Then he began pumping the lever, causing the carpet to soar through the air. And as they were flying, Huck started to sing.
