Another Egg-Citing Day/Part 2

"This one is amazed at what the Smurfs were able to accomplish in the manner of food preparations when missing certain key ingredients for the preparations, fellow Tapper," Polaris said.

"Aye, I would have to agree with you there, laddie," Duncan said. "But then you can't be too finicky when it comes to smurfing without certain foods in your diet."

"This smurf senses that you're still desiring to try haggis, even if other Smurfs are not too keen on how it's actually prepared, Duncan," Empath said.

"Nor are there many Smurfs who are willing to try it, knowing about all the ingredients that smurf in its preparation, my fellow Empath," Tapper said. "But I guess that I can't complain too much about it, because there are undoubtedly some other strange foods of the Smurf clans that other Smurfs may find offensive."

"It will be a culinary adventure nonetheless, Tapper," Empath said. "Anway, getting back to the story, Gargamel has prepared a magic egg, and Bigmouth the ogre has taken it from him. So what else happens?"

"Well, it was only fortunate for him that Bigmouth didn't smurf too far with his stolen find," Tapper said. And as he continued, Empath and Polaris saw the ogre lying down next to a tree, stretching and yawning as he was getting tired.

"Bigmouth take nap, then eat egg," he said to himself before he fell asleep.

Gargamel and Azrael were quietly creeping through the forest when they heard the ogre snoring nearby. "I can hear him, Azrael," he spoke very low as he put his hand to his ear to confirm what he was hearing. "Quickly now."

Making sure that the ogre would not be disturbed, Gargamel quietly drew near and snatched the sack that the magic egg was in. Bigmouth continued to sleep on, unaware of anything happening.

Gargamel laughed as he and Azrael headed back toward his house. "That big ogre is too stupid to notice. That will be the last time that he ever tries to..."

Suddenly an arm grabbed Gargamel by the back of the robe's collar. He soon found himself face to face with Bigmouth, who had just awakened. "WHY YOU TAKE MY EGG?" he demanded, shaking the evil wizard and scaring Azrael so that he climbed up a tree for safety.

"HELP! AZRAEL! STOP HIM!" Gargamel cried out. But Azrael just looked down from the branch he was on, too afraid to do anything.

Then Bigmouth whirled Gargamel around and around like a pinwheel, though in doing so, the egg dropped out of the sack and started rolling down a hill. "The egg!" Gargamel exclaimed, noticing what had happened.

"Bigmouth's egg getting away," the ogre said, now noticing it for himself. He threw Gargamel away and started chasing after it.

"Azrael, we must get that egg back before Bigmouth does," Gargamel said as he picked himself back up. Azrael climbed down from the tree and joined his master in the search.

Meanwhile, the team of five Smurfs were looking through the forest for eggs that they could use for their Smurf Day cake. "Oh my, oh my, I don't seem to smurf eggs anywhere," Smurfette said after a while of searching.

"But Papa Smurf says that we can't smurf a Smurf Day cake without eggs, Smurfette," Brainy said. "There must be one somewhere around. Papa Smurf says..."

"We'll find one, Smurfette, even if it smurfs us all day," Hefty said resolutely.

Then suddenly they could hear an object rolling down a nearby hill. "What is that?" Vanity asked.

"Oh, it's probably just an...," Hefty began to answer until he saw it was that was coming their way. "...egg?!?"

"Look out!" Brainy cried out, but the egg rolled right over them, knocking them down as it continued to roll until it stopped at the bottom of a tree.

"My, that is some egg," Vanity said, looking at the egg while he and his fellow Smurfs picked themselves back up. "Where did it smurf from?"

"It smurfs like it was made of gold," Smurfette said as he and the others got a closer look.

"Who cares what it's made of?" Hefty said. "We can make the smurfiest Smurf Day cake with this."

"It's certainly a beauty of an egg," Vanity said. "Let's smurf it back to the village right away."

"I would be careful with an egg like this, my fellow Smurfs," Brainy said. "I mean, who knows what kind of creature this egg has smurfed from, who is probably smurfing after this right now even as we smurf, and..."

"We're smurfing the egg, Brainy...no ifs, ands, or buts!" Hefty said threateningly. "Is that clear?"

"Uh...yes, very clear," Brainy replied as he gulped.

"I hate eggs," Grouchy said.
