The story of: How Chips Were Created

Have you ever looked at a potato and thought, 'How could such a dull being, make such beautiful creature such as chips? Well let me tell you this semi-amazing story.

It was a boring old sunny day, just like everyday in Veggieville. Mr. and Mrs. Patato's kids were hard at work planting their brothers and sisters. While next door the Karat family was watching their kids grow. It was a normal day, Or so they thought.

Gary patato got bored of planting and oulled out his carrot plane toy. While the airplane was zooming through the skies, Gary noticed something very odd. A small red dot in the sky that was slowly but surely getting bigger. He just brushed it off and went back to playing airplane. Then Fredrick Karat noticed, instead of informing his parents he scared his little sister with it. After Mr. Karat heard the screams from baby Karat, he rushed over and she told him everything. Mr. Karat then went around screaming bloody murder. Nobody knew what he was saying so they just went back to tending their crops. By now the small red dot was clearly visible and it was the size of an Orca (killer whale). One by one the whole village noticed it. There was screams, crying, and praying to the veggie god everywhere. No one knew how to stop it. Soon they all accepted it and the kids played outside all together in peace and harmony (for once). The adults joined eachother at the core of the town. Each of the couples took turns saying good bye. BAM! Right before the Patatos spoke the object hit.

(Hours later when everyone regained conciousness)

Everyone was safe! Or so they thought.

A head count was done. Previous population: 34, Current population: 33. OH NO! WHO COULD IT BE? The whole town looked around and finally they found where the red object crashed.

There was a gaping hole on the edge of the town. It led to darkness but they seen a little light all the way down. So Gary, being the wonderful potato he is, went to explore. Screams emitted from all the town as he fell.

(Human World)
NASA came on t.v. saying there was a meteor coming our way. We didn't scream, because how could we? We just froze with our eyes stuck to the television. NASA continued to say that it will hit something else first, what was that something else? They didn't say, so it will be slowed. Still stuck to the TV we still listened. The meteor was not to be worried about, it will hit on to the Destiny Park. Nobody will get hurt if everyone stays a good distance away. Sighs of relief can be heard from ten miles away (Hah, hyperbole). The fateful countdown began: 20 minutes. NASA started to quarantine the park. Kids started to cry because they couldn't play. Adults started taking seats (a safe distance away) to watch. The countdown continued: 10 minutes. A few stragglers in the park, trying to get as close as possible. NASA called police in to get them to safety. 5 minutes. Kids were taken home, it was deemed to dangerous for them, for the rock could shatter and injure the children. 1 minute. All of the sudden everybody had blast protection shields and popcorn. 30 seconds. Everybody was now counting down like the ball drop on New Year's Eve. 10 seconds. The kids some how found a way to sneak back in. 5 seconds. Suddenly everyone was stricken with fear. Paralyzed, they were stuck to their seats like gorilla glue was on their bottoms. It was now in sight and everyone watched in horror. Coming down faster than light (Lol gotta love hyperboles). The kids were facinated. Then before their eyes BOOM! Rocks shattered but hit the sheilds. All the popcorn spilled (WHY, WHY THE POPCORN?!). After a minute or two, they went to inspect it. The rock was still on sizzling hot. Above the dead silence from the still stunned crowd, they heard somthing. Pop crackle pop! The NASA workers picked up the rock and took it to the lab, a small pit of fire still left from the rock. The audience went to inspect. A small boy went over to the impact spot and noticed the potato. Half of it was raw, half was flattened and cooked. The little boy picked up the cooked part. He took a little bite. As he was slowly chewing, a huge smile creeped over his face. He skipped over to his parents and they took a bite. Excitedly, the parents went to see if there were more. They searched and searched endlessly until weirdly, a potato (Gary patato) splat into the fire pit. Immediately the adults pulled it out. OML it was the same thing. The adults gave it to the mayor to try and he chipped his tooth. (Yes he is very old) He had an idea! Mayor HomoSapien told them that this new food should be called a chip! The crowd that was still there whooped and hollered. People went home that night and sliced up potatoes (they figured it would make more) and baked them. Then company's started flavoring them and selling chips.

But poor little Gary and Mrs.Patato :"(
