The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume CCLXII

One day Mogey and Smush decided to paper the walls of the humble house they shared. They'd finally had enough of the their current wall covering, which consisted of hair stolen from the local barbershop's floor. Smush went out for a bit and came back with three long roles of beautiful paper that was patterned with pictures of cattails swaying in a breeze.

For several long hours they worked, first with barber's shears, then with paste and paper, until their entire house was covered with the lovely cattail print. When they had finished, Mogey and Smush stood in the foyer, admiring their work.

"Those cattails really are fantastic, Smush," Mogey said. "They remind me of an absolutely super summer day spent swimming and chasing tadpoles in Bigman Pond. What do they make you think of?"

"Hot dogs on a stick," Smush muttered wistfully.
