The Hungry Smurfs (Hero Stories)/Part 5

"HEY!" the human said to them, which made the smurfs jump in fear, "Who are you?" he asked, Papa walked up to him, "We're the smurfs!, are you the lord of this castle?" Papa asked the human. The human shook his head in agreement, "Yes, I'm Lord Poppery, alas, I'm a ruined lord! and since I have no more money, my friends, servents, everyone has abandoned me!" he said sadly.

"But then... you don't have anything to smurf!" Greedy said, Lord Poppery had a confused look on his face, "What are you saying?" he asked, Papa then turned and whispered to his little smurfs that humans don't understand smurf language, Papa turned back round to face Lord Poppery, "He's asking if you have anything left to eat!" he asked. Lord Poppery pointed to a door at the other end of the room, "Ah! Go see in there in the kitchens, I think there's a hunk of bread left!" he said.

"Thanks" Papa said, as the smurfs ran for the kitchens, running into each other as they went,"TO THE KITCHENS!" Greedy shouted, "I'm starving" Saviour said, Jokey was pushing Brainy, trying to make him go faster, "Don't push!" Brainy said. When they entered the kitchen they could see the hunk of bread up on the table, "Wait here fellow smurfs" Hero said, "This smurf will get the bread", so Hero flew as fast as he could towards the bread and he soon saw a mouse snatch it, "HEY!" Hero shouted, "The bread!" Hefty shouted, "After it" Wonder shouted.

The smurfs were soon all chasing the mouse and they seen run into a small hole in the wall, "Catch it!" Jokey said, "Get back here, you dirty smurf!" Hefty shouted, as they began running through the small passageway, "I'll get you" Hawkeye shouted. When they re-emerged at the other end, they all suddenly stopped running and stood there with their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open.

For there, right in front of them was a stash of treasure, "A TREASURE!" Nikolai, Smurfette and Vanity said together, "I HATE TREASURES!" Grouchy said, the smurfs soon opened a large sack and poured the contents all over the floor, "Gold!" Jokey said, "Silver!" Handy said, "Diamonds!" Smurfette said, "Rubies!" Wonder said, "The hunk of bread" Greedy said.

"Just smurf a little at this treasure" Jokey asked Greedy, "I don't smurf" Greedy said, as he ate the hunk of bread. Papa soon had a smile of his face, "We have to carry this to the lord!" he said, Hero shook his his agreement, "Yes!, let's go!" he said happily. The smurfs soon started to take each piece of treasure through the narrow passageway, "He'll be happy!" Papa said. Lord Poppery was busy sitting in his chair when he heard Papa Smurf call for him, "Hey Milord!" he shouted, Lord Poppery soon made his way to the kitchens and suddenly his eyes were wide open.

"We smurfed this treasure at the bottom of a mouse-hole!" Hero said, "Look! It's full of gold!" Jokey said, "And diamonds!" Smurfette said, "And there's a lot more!" Papa said cheerfully, "We'll go smurf it for you!" Hefty said. Lord Poppery soon had tears running down his face, as he picked up the treasure, "Saved! I'm saved!, how could I thank you?, Please take half of the treasure" he offered. Papa chuckled to the offer but diagreed, "Oh! No! we wouldn't know what to do with it! we only ask one thingof you: supplies for the winter! our's got burned!" he said.

"Supplies? of course! with this treasure, we can buy some good bread!" Lord Poppery said happily, "And some cakes?" Smurfette said, "And honey?" Brainy added, "And some sarsaparilla?" Greedy added, "As much as you like!" Lord Popper said happily. All the smurfs soon began cheering, "I HATE CHEERING!" Grocuhy said.

Several days later the smurfs were outside Lord Poppery's castle with many bags of supplies on sleds, "Farewell little smurfs!" Lord Poppery said,'' "Have a safe trip home". "Thanks, Lord Poppery" Papa answered cherrfully, "Ok my little smurfs let's get going"''. Soon the smurfs were soo on their journey back to the village, "This smurf will lead the way" Hero said, as he flew overhead, further back Saviour noticed Greedy was looking rather pale, "What's wrong with you uncle Greedy? are you sick?" she asked, "No! I smurfed too much cake, honey and sarsparilla these past few days!".
