The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume XVI

Smush was outside peddling his tricycle about midmorning while Mogey watched from the atop a dense rhododendron bush and threw the snowball shaped flowers at his friend. After a while Smush stopped peddling and grew serious.

"Mogey?" he said. "I think I might be getting a little old for a trike. Mightn't it be time to get a two wheeler?"

"By golly I think you're right," said Mogey. And he hopped down from the bush and took out his hacksaw. Mogey almost always carried a hacksaw with him. He turned the tricycle on its side and proceeded to saw off one of the back legs. "There you are," he said when he was done.

The bike-formerly-trike never rode the same again, but you couldn't tell Smush that. He loved it like a mama cockatoo loves her first born son.
