In a swamp in the woods, there was a Platypus. But it was no ordinary platypus, because this platypus was a superhero platypus! He had super strength, psychic powers, and could make very good pizza. He also loved to make things, like shurikens.
One day, a crocodile entered the swamp without permission, and that crocodile became the Platypus’s archenemy. (That means it was his worst enemy.) The crocodile cornered a little platypus kid. The kid was very scared. When the crocodile was about to eat the kid, the super platypus came. He dived in front of the crocodile and was eaten instead.
The super platypus was stuck inside the crocodile. He tried to find a way to escape. But he was so worried about his platypus family that he could not think straight. He tried throwing shurikens at the crocodile’s tummy, but that did not work. He tried using his psychic powers to make the crocodile open its mouth, but the crocodile was way too stubborn. With all of these attempts, ten months passed and the platypus was still in the crocodile’s tummy. He survived off of the pizzas he made in there.
The platypus tried everything he could think of, but he kept thinking of the wrong things because of his worry. At the end of those ten months, he finally calmed down and started thinking straight. “Maybe I can use my super strength to open his mouth,” the super platypus thought. So, he tried to pry the Crocodile’s mouth open. It finally worked. The Platypus was out of the crocodile’s mouth. The super platypus was back! When the platypus people in the swamp saw him come out, they all cheered.
Then the crocodile roared, and the crowd was hushed. It was deadly quiet. The Crocodile and the platypus began to fight. If the crocodile won, he would eat the super platypus, and the swamp would be doomed. But, if the super platypus won, the crocodile would be forced out of the swamp. The stakes were high, and both fought very hard. In the end though, the Platypus won.
The super platypus and his platypus family were free. Once again, the super platypus saved the day. A platypus band began playing triumphant music. It seemed like the swamp would live happily ever after.
But deep in the forest, the crocodile was licking its wounds and swearing revenge. Then, out of the darkness, a voice echoed, “do you need some help?” Stepping into the light, it was a fox.
