Thursday was interesting

Thursday was very interesting. Herbert decided to rebel! Underpants flew away and gathered at the teashop to discuss revenge against their tyrannical oppressors, the vindictive humans. They plotted hastily, then zoomed off to put humankind into their places.1

Gary Snail, an elephant trainer, was sitting under a giant parasol belonging to the underpants. The underpants-faithful parasol decided to launch itself into the Headquarters of the rebellious underpants leadership. Upon arriving he said, “Gary Sneail has arrived. And he is bringing the parasols, wrongfully subjected to harsh weather by him (a trainer of the elephants).” 2

Upon hearing this, the underpants leader chuckled happily; “Ho Hee Hee ha”, he laughed, rubbing his elastic hands together courteously but not endearingly. 3

“What?” asked the parasol curiously. “Are you actually insane? I’ve heard rumours, but I never believed them. Oh, apart from that, I’ve been hearing rumours that you’re plotting against me. Those rumours aren’t true, are they?” 4

The underpants leader looked guilty, “Maybe, or maybe not! It’s possibly true, or possibly not true.”5

“I am faithful to you, insofar as I want to be”, said the parasol innocently, but secretly churning with thoughts of betrayal.6

“You are dismissed”, said the underpants leader loftily.7

‘As of today, humans are toast’, vowed the parasol (who knew that the humans were prone to toasting). 8

Gary Snail was feeling burnt. He screamed. He wandered over to the teashop, where the underpants Headquarters was. Fortunately, the parasol’s plan didn’t work, and Gary now defeated his underpants. The parasol worried that it’s betrayal would be discovered, so plotted a safe way of framing Gary’s underpants. 9
