The Hungry Smurfs (Hero Stories)/Part 3

That night, both Papa and Hero were busy trying to come up with ways of helping the other smurfs,"Still, something must be smurfed!" Papa said to Hero, "This smurf understands Papa, that is why this smurf has an idea...but it's risky" Hero replied in a soft tone of voice, "Let's smurf it Hero, anything is better than smurfing nothing at all" Papa asked desperately.

"Well this smurf's idea is this... this smurf leaves the village in search of food, this smurf does not know how long it will take, it could take this smurf maybe a few hours, days, maybe even weeks to find food" Hero said, Papa didn't like the sound of the idea one bit, "That is risky Hero, let's go smurf it to the others" Papa said, they both walked out into the cold village, "Harmony, summon the smurfs" Papa said, Harmony blew his trumpet and soon all the smurfs were gathered around the announcement mushroom, shivering with the cold. "My dear little smurfs" Papa said, "Hero has smurfed up with an idea... but it's very risky".

"What is your idea Hero?" Smurfette asked, Hero sighed "This smurf's idea is that, this smurf leaves the village to search for food, this smurf does not know how long it will take, maybe a few hours, days or even weeks" he said, all the smurfs were shocked at what they heard, especially Saviour, who soon had tears running down her face, "Please don't smurf this Papa" she cried, "I love you, please don't smurf this". Hero dropped from the mushroom and gave his daughter a warm hug, "I have to Saviour" he said kindly, "It's for the good of all the smurfs".

Hero turned to face Smurfette, "Please help take care of Saviour for me, would you?" He asked her, Smurfette smiled and agreed to do so, Hero then took to the air and flew away. Every smurf wondered if Hero would be successful, and they went about their business. Greedy walked with Poet, he could not help, but talk about food, "And a big plate of sarsaparilla with..." Greedy said, "Thanks for inspiring me Greedy" Poet said happily, "Now I can write my great and Masterful work... 'An Ode to Hunger".

Vanity was looking at himself in the mirror while measuring himself, "Oh goodness smurfness, I'm wasting away to nothing" he said unhappily, Edward was walking slowly through the village, when he heard a voice call to him, "HEY! EDDIE! COME QUICK!" the voice said, Edward ran as fat as he could to where the voice was coming from, "I FOUND SOMETHING TO SMURF!!" the voice said again, "Can it be true?" Edward said eagerly, he soon found where the voice was coming from and it turned out to be Jokey, "No, not really! Ha! Ha! Ha! I got you, eh?" Jokey said as he laughed.

Jokey Smurf!" Edward said, he soon brought out a mallet and hut Jokey on the head and stormed away in rage. "Pff!, He has no sense of humor!" Jokey said. Meanwhile Papa Smurf was walking through the village trying endlessly to think of an idea, "Papa Smurf!, Papa Smurf!" Brainy shouted, as he ran towards him, "There's nothing left, not even the tiniest root" he said sadly.

"This can't go on!. There's only one thing left to do" Papa said unhappily, "Harmony summon the smurfs again", Harmony blew his trumpet again and the smurfs were soon gathered round the announcement mushroom for the second time. "My little smurfs! Faced with the famine that's threatening us, I've decided we must abandon the smurf village" he announced sadly, all the smurfs were in shock at what they heard, "Abandon the village?" Jokey said, "What will me smurf?" Nikolai added, "I HATE ABANDONING!" Grouchy added. All the smurfs were all talking at the same time, "Oh No! Papa Smurf" Smurfette said, "this is my home, I don't wanna smurf anywhere else" she cried.

Saviour didn't like this annoucement more than her father's one, "But Grandpa Smurf, Papa isn't even back yet" she cried. "I know he isn't Saviour, but what other choice can we smurf", "Then where will we go" Wonder added. "South, we're bound to find food to the south, now everone gather your things, but we must travel light so only bring the bare essentials" Papa said.

The next day all the smurfs were gathered outside Papa's lab, "Uh...we're all ready to go Papa Smurf" Clumsy said, "All right Clumsy" Papa said, as he opened his door, "Oh my smurf in heavens" he said in complete shock. He seen the smurfs had packed way too much: Vanity had all his mirrors, Greedy had all his cookery equipment, Handy had his entire collection of tools, Lzzy had his bed, Hefty had a set of dumbbells, Smurfette and Wonder had all their dresses, Saviour had her father's Power Stones and Jokey had his surprise boxes.

"Ok, let's move out" Papa said at last, as soon as they were about to leave the village, Saviour looked up and seen a golden glow in the sky, "Grandpa Smurf!, Grandpa Smurf!" she shouted, "There's something in the sky". All the smurfs looked up and seen the glow was getting bigger and bigger, and soon the figure came into view, "It's Hero!" Papa shouted, Hero soon landed and told Papa he could not find any trace of food anywhere, "It's ok Hero, we're going South to find food", Hero shook his head in agreement, and they continued on their journey south.
