The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume CCCXI

One morning on their way to work at the snake hatchery, Mogey and Smush paused in front of a blue spruce to which clung the largest squid either of them had ever seen.

"What's going on here?" Mogey asked Smush as they stared up at the squid, who was waggling his tentacles in an impudent manner.

"It appears to be a squid in a tree," Smush replied.

"Huh," Mogey said thoughtfully. "How do you suppose he got up there?"

"I haven't the foggiest idea," Smush said. "All I know is that the problem of what we're eating for lunch today seems to have been solved for us. Now run back and get our stepladder, won't you, Mogey? I'll go tell Mr. Dawdlefooze we're going to be a few minutes late to work."
