1021 Words3 Pages

When summer vacation arrived, Danny loved nothing more than spending all day playing with his toys. He played from early in the morning, until bedtime, never picking a single one up.
Every night, Master Cake would say, “Pick up your toys, don’t you run away.”
Giggling, Danny turned around and said, “I’ll pick them up soon, right before I go to bed.”
But every night, Danny fell asleep playing and forgot to clean up.
His room was such a mess, not even Copy could find her bed!
“Danny, when are you going to clean up?” Master Cake asked one afternoon, tired of cleaning up after Danny.
“Tomorrow, I promise.” Danny said, throwing the lit of his toy chest open and flinging toys over his shoulder.
One night, as Master Cake was getting ready for bed, …show more content…

With a squeak, the baboon flew backwards, right into a pile of stuffed animals.
Danny laughed and helped the baboon out of the toy pile, wondering, “Where am I?”
“Clutter Forest, where every day is play and fun!” shrieked the baboon, grabbing Danny by the arm and swinging from another tree branch.
Danny screamed, almost choking on a flying toy plain, getting a face full of stuffing from a plush dog and going head first into a waterfall of caramel.
The baboon stopped, sending Danny airborne. Danny crashed into an Ostrich with the longest neck he’d ever seen and fluffy feathers that looked like pillows.
“Hi there new friend!” the Ostrich greeted, hopping up in one leg and falling forwards, burying it’s beak in a whoopee cushion that let out a loud fart-like sound.
Danny laughed, watching the Ostrich struggle to get up.
With a big yank, the Ostrich broke free, flipping head over legs. It crashed, against a tree, its legs wiggling in the air.
“Ouch!” shouted a red frog as it fell from the tree. The frog looked as if it was made of gooie jelly and its eyes almost popped out of its head when it landed.

“Someone, make it stop!” Goopy shouted.
“I got you!” said Danny, leaping up into the air and catching Goopy. But as soon as he landed, he tripped on a wagon and fell head first into a box of toys.
There was so much clutter that he couldn’t take a step without tripping!
Goopy flew into the air again, smacked against a tree and slid down the trunk.
“Silly Goopy, enough fooling around, let’s play!” the baboon shrieked, hopping up and down. He grabbed a ball and tossed it to Danny, shouting, “Catch!”
“What?” Danny murmured, trying to shake the toys off him. The ball bounced off is head and smacked the Ostrich ’s feathery bottom, making it squawk and skip forwards.
The baboon giggled, thinking it was a game, he shouted, “That looks like fun!” He swung from a tree, but lost his grip. He fell down, landing on Goopy, who squeaked, its eyes bulging out of its head. The baboon got up, but when he tried to swing back up to the tree, he couldn’t move. He was stuck in place by a mountain of sticky sugary lollipops.
The Ostrich grabbed the baboon’s tail, while Danny grabbed his long arms. Together they pulled and yanked, till the baboon broke
