THE BIG PROBLEM

BY TEAGHAN, age 9

Once there was a penguin named Bubbles. He loved bubble gum, but what he loved to do is blow bubbles with bubble gum. Bubbles has a best friend named Josh and he never minded Bubble’s problem until this day. That day, Bubbles went to school and was chewing gum. He blew a huge bubble and it got all over his friend Josh. Josh said, “Why did you do that, Bubbles?” “I’m so sorry,” said Bubbles. The next day, Josh took him to the doctor to get rid of his bubble problem. As they felt the warm breeze when they walked in the office, Bubbles had tears going down his face because he was scared. Josh told him, “It will be fine.” He conquered his fear and they entered the room. “Hello” said Dr. Penguin. “You must be Bubbles.” “Yes, that’s me,” he said. “Well,  your friend Josh told me about your problem and if you take this Bubble Gum flavored medicine every day you’ll be sure to be better with it,” he said. “Yummy,” said Bubbles. “I’ll take it!” Every single day Bubbles took the medicine. After a while, Bubbles wanted to blow bubbles MORE! He ran to Josh’s house. “JOSH! JOSH! JOSH!” Bubbles yelled. “What?” he exclaimed. “I don’t think the medicine is working.” “Why not?” asked Josh. “I feel like I want to blow even more bubbles than usual.” “OH, great,” said Josh. “Well I guess I’ll have to bring you to see Dr. Penguin again.” So Josh took Bubbles to see Dr. Penguin. “Well, Bubbles, I bet the problem is the flavor,” said Dr. Penguin. “What flavor?” asked Bubbles. “The bubble gum flavor. I guess I will have to give you grape,” said Dr. Penguin. “Either that or sour lemon.” “I’ll take the grape,” Bubbles aid. Bubbles took a dose and it tasted HORRIBLE, but the feeling of chewing bubble gum was gone! He didn’t want to blow any more bubbles either.  Bubbles was so happy! He was glad that he didn’t have to blow bubbles any more. When Bubbles came home, Mamma and Papa Penguin were so proud of him.
