Note: I usually wouldn't bother to post an Artikel that's so short, but seeing as tomorrow is Easter, I thought it might be fun to post the 200-word double-drabble I wrote on Easter last year. I hope you'll enjoy it, and if you've read it before, feel free to enjoy it again.
63.) April 4, 2010: "The Easter Egg"
"Eh, would Du mind telling me what kind of bird laid this fancy-looking egg?" Julien asked as he walked into the penguins' HQ, carrying a blue egg with green stripes and red polka dots. "Or have the sky spirits finally rewarded me with J.J. II?"
"Hey, that's mine," Skipper stated as he took the egg from Julien.
"Really?" Julien asked, puzzled. "I've always thought Du were a guy. But congratulations nonetheless."
"I am a guy, ring-tail!" Skipper corrected. "It's not mine, mine, and besides, this egg is made of plastic. But I did hide it."
"Hide it?" Julien asked. "But why?"
"Well, today's Easter," Skipper replied. "Haven't Du ever heard of an Easter egg hunt?"
"Oh, yes," Julien replied. "The silly humans hide eggs and have children find them. Sometimes the eggs are even filled with chocolate."
Julien then looked at the egg in Skipper's flippers and snatched it back.
"So, what's inside of this one?" he asked as he began to pull it open.
"You fool!" Skipper shouted. "That one's packed with C-4!"
"What?" Julien exclaimed as he tossed the egg back to Skipper.
"Chocolate is outdated," Skipper replied. "We penguins give each other real gifts for the holidays."
