Mogey and Smush were meandering along when they happened to pass by Old Man Blabastereaux's run down old shack. Now Old Man Blabastereaux had the meanest pet in all the world. It was a Doga Constrictor: half dog, half boa constrictor. A Doga Constrictor named Lyle.
And lordy was Lyle ornery. Even other Doga Constrictors were put off by him, and ALL Doga Constrictors are ornery.
Well Mogey and Smush knew all this but as they walked by on this particular day, Smush happened to notice that Lyle had a shiny new chain to restrain him from biting the ears off neighborhood children. Smush took one look at that chain and knew what he had to do.
"Follow me, Mogey," he whispered, hopping Old Man Blabastereaux's fence and pulling out his axe. In less than 15 seconds Lyle was galloping full speed toward Mama Bacon's Nursery School and Smush had the shiny new length of chain in his hands.
"What'd you do that for, Smush?" Mogey asked. "Lyle's going to eat at least 8 of those kids."
"True," said Smush, "but this new belt is gonna look suh-weeeeet!"
