The Stuttering Chimp

by Alex, age 9

Bruce the Chimp was a small, weak chimp who stuttered. He stuttered on s words, n words, t words, h words, and d words. He lived in a town called Stutterville. One hot day a mouse named Frodo moved into Stutterville. Bruce watched curiously as Frodo moved into a huge, yellow house. After 10 minutes Frodo leaped out the door and landed in front of Bruce. Frodo was a little bit shorter than Bruce. "H-h-h-h Hello what is your n-n-n-n name?" whispered Bruce." You talk stupidly"! screamed Frodo. Frodo felt great after he yelled that out. Bruce felt like Frodo's anger got passed on to him! The next morning Bruce hurled himself out the door and found himself in a cage!!!!!!! His eye caught Frodo on top of a Mouse shaped Parade Float. There was a big banner that said Welcome To Stuttering is DumbVille. But suddenly Bruce broke the bars in the cage YES! He thought to himself he jumped on the parade float and picked Frodo up in the air!" You better apologize to me or I will kick you out of town!" But just at that moment Bruce shoved a Stutter pill in Frodo's Mouth! "I-i-i-i-i-I am s-s-s sorry f-for hurting your f-f-f-f feelings" whispered Frodo. "I accept the apology," replied Bruce, "but it is not over yet." Bruce glared at Frodo.
