Okay kids, I’ve told you this story an infinite number of times before, but here it goes again. It all started in a vending machine, she was Lily the Lemon Liquid. As you know I was also a Lemon Liquid, in other words a stylish can, named Lyle. A few giants with this long stuff on the top of their head, wearing bright pink, came towards the vending machine. They extended out a stick with 5 sausages and pressed the buttons 1 and 2. Lily and I tumbled out and bumped into each other. This caused us both to get dents on the top of our heads. The creatures took us to what seemed to be a giant, brown vending machine. The creatures forgot about us, so a 4-legged, tail wagging, nose sniffing creature played with us like a toy. It rolls us around until it gets wearisome and trots away. Since we were not feeling good we stayed still. Soon a creature with a black and white ball swept us outside into the cordial air. We thought it was going to drink us but what it did was a million, trillion times worse. He picked us up threw us in the air and kicked us up and down. Eventually he kicked us so hard we landed on a tan, sandy place that had a sign. The sign said, “Ft. Lauderdale Beach: be careful of crabs (they pilfer)”. Suddenly a small red object that appeared to be a crab crept slowly towards Lily. I tried to move but I was jammed. It was too late; the crab creature had pinched the lovely, Lily. She burst open like a fountain running over and over again. “No”, I shrieked! I was unexpectedly scooped up by a flying creature. I was taken higher and higher in the air until I plummeted towards the deep, cryptic ocean. “Ouch” I said as I hit a very old ship. I rolled onto the old, creaky wooden floors. I rolled into an open hole in a door that was hanging by a hinge. It was there where I found a large object that had the letters, C-A-T-A-P-U-L-T. I sounded the word out and learned it was a catapult. I remembered learning about these items in Pop Prepatory School. They were use! d in war ships, so they could fling items to demolish other ships. I got on by rolling up a thick piece of string. Then when I was in a little bowl that was where thing should be flung, I cut the string with a piece of my sharp, pop tab. It wretchedly didn’t work. “Just my luck”, I said to myself. As I slowly rolled out of the ship I caught my eye on a slimy, blue creature with a long tail and fins. I asked him if I could have a ride to the shore and he squeaked, “Yes”! I got on and lay peacefully on my back. I was thinking about if Lily would be okay. I drifted asleep thinking about my worries. A few minutes later I was on the sandy, beach. I turned around and saw my dear, Lily. She looked dreadful. I raced over and wrapped Lily up with seaweed to stop her from losing her Lemon Liquid. I made sure she was alive and she was! Then I took off my pop tab and asked her to marry me! She caught her breath, and said yes! Then I swept her off her feet and refilled her halfway with some of my Lemon Liquid. Kids, that’s how I met your mother. That’s also why you need to be careful in life so your glass stays half full. Also so people see you as a positive pop can.
