Joshua and the Shimbly travel many leagues to help clear up some confusion.

1. Joshua and the Shimbly
and the Deep Question
by AJ Hunter

2. One day, Joshua and the Shimbly decided to
enjoy a relaxing drift along the ocean currents.
"Yo-ho! Yo-ho! A
pirate's life for me..."

3. Suddenly, something bumped them from
beneath their raft. Joshua and the Shimbly
were both knocked into the ocean!
"My wife
pwesewvew!"

4. Once under water Joshua saw what had knocked
them off the raft. It was a Bubble Fish, the
biggest Bubble Fish Joshua had ever seen!
"Sorry for the bump" it bubbled. "But I
need you for something important..."

5. The Shimbly propelled itself towards
Joshua and the Bubble Fish. "I'm here!
I had to replace my petal again..."
"Aaargh!"
A soon as the Shimbly arrived
it watched the Bubble Fish
swallow Joshua whole!

6. What the Shimbly didn't know was that the
Bubble Fish was actually helping Joshua! By
creating a bubble around him, Joshua could
remain under water for a long time.
"That was
traumatizing!"

7. The Bubble Fish led them down to the ocean floor
where some objects from dry land had fallen.
Nobody from the ocean knew what they were.

8. Once at the ocean floor,
Joshua and the Shimbly
met a pair of Seedweas.
"Check out what we got!"
waved the first Seedwea.

9. "I think it's a giant crocheting kit"
swayed Seedwea One.
"No...they are ancient
gladiator weapons!"
wafted Seedwea Two.

10. Joshua couldn't believe how fast the
Seedweas got upset with each other. Soon
they weren't even fighting about the items.
"...oh yeah? Well
you snore!"
"You've got
bad breath!"

11. The Bubble Fish showed
Joshua the manual that
came with the items.
Nobody from the ocean
could read it.
"Oh! Nice shot!"

12. It was a volleyball net! Once the Seedweas calmed
down Joshua taught them how to set it up. The
Bubble Fish was even able to make a volleybubble!
"Maybe the Seedweas won't fight as much now they
have a game to play" blurped the Bubble Fish.

13. The end.
"Think fast!"
"Oof!"
