On the way I pass suns and planets, many with strange
names on my maps, instead of the sensible ones we have where I come
from.
'After many months I see Bippo up ahead. Bippo is a funny looking sun
with purple stripes and round green spots. I search the area and there,
off to one side, is the planet Boppo. It's also funny looking: green
stripes and purple spots, just the opposite colors of its sun.
'So here I am at last, ready to land my Boomerang among a lot of
Boppoian Burpers near Bippo to do battle for a batch of baubles for my
Boomboomaranian King Boogie-woogie Boomer.'
'Now just a minute, Bingbang Babbaloo.' Stobey jumps up from where
she's sitting and shakes her finger at the Eye. 'Now just a minute,' she
repeats. 'I want to hear your story, and I'm sure my friends also want to
hear it, but I would appreciate it very much if you told the story without
using so many words that begin with B. It's confusing.'
'Well,' says Bingbang, 'all right, but that's the way we talk at home.
Anyhow, back to my story. I scout the planet of the Burpers from far
above, and see a castle on a hill.
