The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume LXIII

"You know, Mogey," Smush said one day. "It's high time I showed you something I found in the woods last week."

"What is it?" Mogey asked.

"I call it The Magnificent Bump," Smush replied.

"The Magnificent Bump?" Mogey asked. "Is it a hill?"

"No," Smush said, as he led Mogey into the forest.

"A mountain?"

"No."

"A butte?"

"No."

"A ridge? A bluff? A hummock?"

"No, no, no," Smush replied. "It's just a bump. Look there, you can just see it in that clearing ahead." Mogey looked. Sure enough, all that was there was a little grass-covered bump. And yet, it was one of the most magnificent things Mogey had ever seen.

"Well I suppose there's only one thing to do," Mogey said. And he and Smush spent the rest of the day rolling down the side of the bump 'til they were too dizzy even to hang a teacup on a squirrel's head.
