Frugies Under Attack!

Adam Apple is back from his secret mission to Tanzania. He wanted to rest but a loud mockingbird is chirping through the night in the forest behind his home. It's keeping him up and driving him crazy. Last night Adam called me up, loaded a backpack and together we stomped into Frugie Forest in search of the bird. Ever seen an apple and a mushroom attacked by a mockingbird? As soon as we entered the forest the mockingbird AND SOME OF HIS FRIENDS circled overhead and began swooping towards us. Adam screams, "Fall back, fall back!" I don't know why he'd say that but it's Adam's army and you don't disobey an order. So I fall on my back and I'm laying there watching six birds zeroing in on me. No, they weren't birds. They were DIVE BOMBERS! I can hear Adam screaming into his phone, "Frugie down! We have a Frugie down!" The birds are coming in for another attack. I'm so scared now I couldn't get up if I wanted to! Suddenly the birds scatter and a helicopter is landing right beside me! A second later we're in the chopper and Adam's saying, "We have to re-think this mission! We'll try again some other time!" Forget it. Not me! I've had it! The only thing I'm re-thinking is my friendship with this crazy apple!
