The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume CXVIII

One spring morning that couldn't be beat, Mogey and Smush were walking into town to buy some rhubarb seeds for their garden when they encountered the most unlikely creature.

"Psst," Mogey pssted. "Smush, is that a platypus?"

Sure enough, walking toward them on the old country road was a platypus wearing corduroys and a ball cap.

"Hi there, little fella," Smush said, petting the platypus's back. Platypi are known to enjoy being a nice back petting.

"Getoffa me!" the platypus screamed, fishhooking Smush in both nostrils and kicking Mogey in the shin for good measure.

Turns out...it wasn't a platypus at all. It was "Beaks" MacNamera, the short, hairy lead singer of the village choir, whose nose and chin were so flat and broad that in the right light, he appeared to have duck bill.
