Freddie

Once in a while there comes a time when you just have to explode, this was little Freddie's time.

Freddie was killing ants and other bugs by burning holes in them with a magnifying glass. He was having a jolly old time, when suddenly he saw this medium size bug. It was purplish in colour. Freddie had always been taught to fear the colour purple, due to an accident that his parents had when they were young and hairy. On his parents' honeymoon, there was a big purple cloud over their hotel. Everyone who went outside while the cloud was overhead was instantly turned into a Yorkshire Terrier. Even worse than that, the dogs weren't even cute. Needless to say, Freddie's parents had feared the colour purple ever since. As soon as they returned home they prepared daily "I fear purple" and "Purple is bad" lessons to teach their future children.

So when Freddie saw this bug he was terrified, in fact he actually screamed. That's how terrified he was. As Freddie screamed the bug got bigger, and bigger, until it was the size of his hand. Freddie was afraid that it was going to eat him, so he tried to plead with the bug's better instincts. He tried to play games with the bug, which he named Mr. Bigbug, such as Simon Says, Tic Tac Toe and even Hopscotch. Unfortunately for Freddie, Mr. Bigbug didn't like any of these games. Mr. Bigbug seemed to be getting more annoyed with Freddie as the day went on. Now, Freddie was starting to get really scared, in fact he was horrified, when all of a sudden he exploded.
