SHABLUEY

The Only Chapter

There once was a prince named Shabluey. One day, he was riding his loyal donkey, Shabluey Jr., in the courtyard of the castle. He had a tooth pick on his belt and a plunger on his back, so he was ready to face the mighty dragon Dragon the Dragon.

Now, just so you know, when most people say the word "shabluey", they mean that something is stupid or dumb. The King did not know what "shabluey" meant, but he thought it sounded cool and named his son that. It was the perfect fit for Shabluey, because Shabluey was, well, shabluey.

Now that that's done, let's continue on with the story.

Dragon the Dragon lived on the highest mountain, Mt. Mountain. It took thirty minutes to get there from the castle. Dragon the Dragon guarded the most beautiful treasure of all: The Mighty Feast.

Legend says that whomever defeats Dragon the Dragon and eats the feast will be the most shabluey of them all. Prince Shabluey misunderstood this. He thought that no one could be more Shabluey than him, because he was Shabluey.

Dragon the Dragon was not very dragon-like. He didn't breathe fire. His breath was made of wind. It wasn't strong wind, either. It could barely move a leaf. His wings were so small, he couldn't lift himself. He truly was the mightiest dragon.

Shabluey and Shabluey Jr. set off on their very dangerous quest. When they were ten minutes away from the castle, they came upon a troll that was guarding an ancient bridge over an ancient river. The bridge was called Ancient Bridge, and the river was called Ancient River. The troll was named Troll That Guards Ancient Bridge Over Ancient River.

Troll That Guards Ancient Bridge Over Ancient River saw Shabluey and decided to ask him a question. It was a question that he asked all the knights that crossed Ancient River on Ancient Bridge, and Troll That Guards Ancient Bridge Over Ancient River had no idea why they always got it right.

"What is the colour of my shirt?" Troll That Guards Ancient Bridge Over Ancient River asked. To him, it was the hardest question in the world.

"Green," Shabluey declared confidently.

Troll That Guards Ancient Bridge Over Ancient River was ecstatic. He was so ecstatic that he started crying.

"You may not cross Ancient Bridge!" he cried out in joy. Shabluey had gotten the question wrong!

"Why?" Shabluey whined.

"Because you got the question wrong, that's why." Troll That Guards Ancient Bridge Over Ancient River stuck out his tongue.

"Aww," Shabluey said. "Can I have another try?"

Troll That Guards Ancient Bridge Over Ancient River huffed. "I suppose you can." Troll That Guards Ancient Bridge Over Ancient River always gave people another try, not that anyone needed it. "What is my name."

Everybody knew Troll That Guards Ancient Bridge Over Ancient River's name. Even Shabluey wasn't that shabluey.

"Troll That Guards Ancient Bridge Over Ancient River."

Troll That Guards Ancient Bridge Over Ancient River gasped. "How do you know that?! That is the hardest question ever know to man, except for what colour my shirt is!"

"I'm just the smartest man in the world," Shabluey said, shrugging.

"Yes, you indeed are! You may now cross Ancient Bridge!"

Shabluey crossed the bridge, and twenty minutes later he arrived at Mt. Mountain.

"Dragon the Dragon! I have come to defeat you and eat The Mighty Feast and become the most shabluey there is!"

Dragon the Dragon sighed. "All I want is a friend," he pouted. "I've been stuck in Mt. Mountain for five hundred million years and I can't eat The Mighty Feast or go out hunting in case someone comes to eat The Mighty Feast."

Shabluey thought for a moment. "You can have my mighty sword and bow. They can be your friends."

Dragon the Dragon considered it. "Alright. Your mighty sword and bow can be my friends and you can be the most shabluey there is."

They shook hands (or claws, if you're a dragon.) and Shabluey gave Dragon the Dragon his toothpick and plunger. Shabluey started eating The Mighty Feast.

Seconds later, Shabluey left being the most shabluey of them all.

The end
