Mogey and Smush were paddle-boat racing one foggy morning across a small pond. The only trouble was, neither of their paddle-boats could sail straight, so the race consisted of both competitors traveling in wobbly circles. Not only that, but a thick layer of lily pads carpeted the water, gumming up Mogey and Smush's paddling mechanisms, and causing general disarray.
It was in the midst of these shenanigans - just as Mogey and Smush began to hurl lily pads at one another, frisbee style - that a walrephant stuck his balding head out of the water.
"Knock that racket off, will you?" the walrephant bellowed. "Can't a walrephant enjoy some submarine grazing in peace?"
"Walrephant?" Mogey said, as both he and Smush stopped paddling. "What is that, a half walrus, half elephant?"
"Indeed," the walrephant replied.
"I see," Smush interjected, "and what's your name?"
"Demetri," the walrephant said. "I am Demetri the walrephant, son of Blebletri the walrephant."
"Yep," Mogey said with a sigh, taking aim at Smush with another lily pad, "you seem like the sort of creature we'd run into."
