Swinging from a Star
As Stobey and Slutter enter Super-Rock Playground they are greeted by
a Hooten-Nanny. The Hooten-Nannies are a family of jugglers, trapeze
artists and clowns who enjoy making people laugh. One job that they
really enjoy is to meet visitors at the Super-Rock gate and show them the
sights and rides. Stobey and Slutter are lucky; a Hooten-Nanny wants
to show them around the park.
Hi,' says the Hooten-Nanny as he twirls about, flips a double somersault,
a triple spin and a rollover. 'I'm Chug-a-lug the Hooten-Nanny from
over Europa way. Just call me Chug. I'm one of the fellows who work
here, and I like to show visitors around our park. May I join you?'
Stobey and Slutter look at Chug. They never met a real Hooten-Nanny,
but are not surprised at the way he looks. They've seen pictures of
Hooten-Nannies in storybooks, television, and on several Websites of
the Solar Wide Web (http://sww if you're interested).
Chug looks like a single length of very thin spaghetti, but stiff, like
before it's boiled. Chug's head is long and thin too, and his arms and
legs also look like strands of spaghetti.
