Eel Confronts Octopus


"Why, hello there." Boss Octopus welcomed me in a suave, sophistocated voice. "To what do I owe the pleasure of YOUR company?"

"Dis here is Constable Crab." hissed The Electrician from behind me. "He come down to da urchins place lookin' fer da POIL!"

"Ahhh--the pearl, you say? The great Plumbago Pearl?"

Boss Octopus rubbed his tentacles together. "Surely not, my dear colleague Eel!"

"I'm tellin' ya da Truth and nothin but!" Hissed The Electrician.

"But WHY would Mr. Crab come to ME for the Famous pearl, dear Eel"

"'Cause YOU'RE the one what's GOT it!" The Electrician
shouted.
