The clicking of his chain clacked as Pierre, a Frenchman, rode into the holy land of Bermuda. He collapsed from his bike.
"And who do we have here?" E.B. pierred over his shoulder.
"I dunno," Pierre shrugged in the voice of Beefy Bert.
"I shall therefore name you 7b6!" Meggie chimed in.
E.B. whipped a page from her notebook and scribbled on it. "Please attend your naming ceremony. Here are the details."
"Can I give you a hand?" E.B. asked the French stranger holding out her own hand.
The sight they saw shocked them. 7b6 had lost both his arms!
E.B. gasped, Meggie fainted.
E.B. grabbed 7b6 and threw him over her shoulder like a rag doll.
"I know just what to do!" and E.B. strode away, leaving Meggie unconscious on the floor.
*******
7 hours later (and a few more hours)
E.B. had worked all through the night, chopping and gluing and now was the big reveal.
7b6 entered her house, beaming. He had 2 fully functioning baguettes on his arms, miniature baguettes for fingers and even smaller ones for fingernails.
Meggie beamed at 7b6. "You look very handsome... a little like Deonardo Licaprio!" She was smitten.
"No you goose! You mean Lēônàrdó Dícâprîó!" E.B. was a fluent french speaker.
"Oh! Of course!" Meggie said, flustered. She was embarrassed.
"Thank you Mrs Husford." 7b6 said to Meggie.
"You're welcome!" both Meggie and E.B. said simultaneously.
They all looked at each other and laughed.
And a new friendship was born.
THE END!
———————————————————————————
1. There is a small possibility that at some point we will translate this story into French
2. At some point we shall also attach a video of how Lēônàrdó Dícâprîó is pronounced (but then again we possibly won't)
3. We also wrote a longer story for an update, BUT IT WAS STOLEN! :0 so when we get it back that will be up as well
