The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume 413

One sunny afternoon, Mogey and Smush swam out into the Bay of Squelch to ride some dolphins. Dolphin wrangling was the pals' favorite activity when they became stressed out, and they'd run out of doughnut batter that morning, so both Mogey and Smush were on edge.

"It feels good to out here," Smush declared, coming up for air. "The salt air in your lungs, a slimy dolphin flipper in your hands, what could be better?"

"I don't know..." Mogey replied. "But I'd really like to try riding one of those big dolphins with all the teeth."

"You mean a shark?" Smush asked.

"What? No!" Mogey answered, aghast. "Are you crazy? Who'd want to ride a lark?"

"I said 'shark,'" Smush corrected.

"Oh," said Mogey. The two of them stared at each other for several moments as they bobbed up and down in the Bay of Squelch. "So are we going to ride some sharks?" Mogey asked. "Or what?"
