The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume VII

Mogey and Smush were walking along one delightful afternoon when they came upon a wise old owl sitting on the low-hanging branch of a hemlock tree. Always prepared for any situation, Mogey removed a tootsie pop from his breast pocket and offered it to the ancient avian creature.

The wise old owl snatched the lolly from Mogey's hand and stuffed it hurriedly into his beak. Mogey and Smush stood there awhile, admiring the majestic creature enjoying his candy, before Mogey took a running start and punched the owl square in the face.

A wrestling match ensued: feathers and hair were ripped out at the roots and flesh was pecked and scratched raw, but Mogey emerged victorious, holding his tootsie pop aloft in jubilation.

"What was that about?" Smush asked, as Mogey popped the prize into his mouth.

"Well I really don't like lollipops," Mogey replied, "but there is nothing better than a fresh batch of wise old owl spit."
