Where The Wind Carries You/Part 3

Tapper's story was interrupted this time by the appearance of Duncan McSmurf. "Greetings, my brother Smurfs and Psyche," he said. "That was quite a storm that we have smurfed through together."

"Salutations, fellow Duncan," Polaris said. "It appears that the village has survived the hurricane with only minimal damage within the premises."

"Oh, Duncan, thank the Almighty that you're still with us," Tapper said as he greeted Duncan with a heartfelt hug. "I wouldn't want to think of what I would do if I lost my dearest elder brother Smurf."

"You're the one that I was worrying about some years ago, laddie," Duncan said. "You would have been smurfed to a crisp if it weren't for Handy's whirlysmurfer invention."

"He designed it, yes, but it was our hands that smurfed it together, my fellow Duncan," Tapper said.

"This smurf would be curious to know what this 'whirlysmurfer' is that Handy invented while this smurf was still in Psychelia," Empath said.

"It was something that we smurfed together from salvaged parts of the windmill, my dear Empath," Tapper said. "It was such a blessed thing that Handy had the ingenuity to design in such a short time that we had to smurf it together in, that I could feel that the Almighty's hand was in this situation. Handy could better explain the principles of how it smurfs, but what mattered the most to us was whether it would smurf long enough for us to escape our predicament."

"Did I hear somebody mention my name?" Handy said as he was just passing by with some wooden planks that he was carrying from Carpenter's workshop.

"Aye, Handy, it was the story of how you, Tapper, and some of our friends escaped the volcano that we're telling those who haven't smurfed there to witness it," Duncan said.

"This one would like to know firsthand everything about your role in the escape of your fellow Smurfs, Handy," Polaris said.

"If you must know, Polaris, then I can smurf you some time to tell my part of the story, even though it's mostly from my perspective," Handy said. "Not that Tapper can't tell the story better, but this is how it happened..." - As Handy told his part of the story, Empath and Polaris saw in his recollections the Smurfs stranded on the ledge deep in the chasm of the volcano, who were now busy working on the invention that Tapper and Duncan had mentioned -- the "whirlysmurfer". Handy had sketched out the plans for building the whirlysmurfer on the wall, which Brainy was spending his time observing and critiquing.
