Today was a really weird day.And I know weird. My best friend is a talking flute! I went down tothe river to think about life. And this boat comes up to me and says,"I need a captain for my trip across the sea. Will you suit therole?" And this was the boat speaking! Not a person on the boat. Isaid sure, that was not smart. And so I got in the boat. After tenminutes or so, I ask were we are going. Lightning strikes the boat,and the boat turns evil! These weird hand things grab me, I manage toget away, and I keep swimming til I get to shore! When I get toshore, I black out. A man with a weird southern accent asks me if I'mokay, I say yes and black out again. I wake up in a bed made of hay.I sit up and look around, it's a cave, nice. Freddy's not in mypocket. He is always in my pocket. I start looking around. I'mlooking on the desk when someone taps me on the shoulder. I turnaround and jump back. There's a giant salamander looking thingstaring me in the face! It turns out that he's the one who saved me."Hi! I'm H.R. Pufnstuf! The mayor of living island!" Then I say,still in terror, "Gosh! I've never met a mayor before!" " Ifthe witch was after you, you must have something she wants." Awitch? What witch? I say " I was kidnapped by a boat! Not a witch!"He says, "The boat belongs to the witch. Actually your flute mightbe what shes after. With his diamond skin condition and all."I fondFreddy, and I'm going to stay with Pufnstuf until he can get me home.I wonder if this has anything to do with mom. That's something fortomorrow.
