14. The Perilous Plot

CHAPTER 14 THE PERILOUS PLOT Professor Poopypants reached down and picked up the tiny school with his giant robotic hand. Everyone screamed in horror.

In no time at all, Eyewitness Newswoman Ingrid Ashley was on the scene. "What do you want from us?" shouted reporter Ashley. "I want... a pencil!" screamed Professor Poopypants. "A pencil?!!?" asked Reporter Ashley. "Here—take mine." She tossed a yellow #2 pencil toward the giant robot. Professor Poopypants reached down with his giant robot arm, picked up the Goosy-Grow 4000, and aimed it at the pencil.

GGGGLLUUZZZZZZZZRRRRRT! The pencil grew to the size of a tree trunk, and Professor Poopypants grabbed it. "Follow me," he said.

The giant robot led the news crew to the center of downtown Piqua. There, he found three large white billboards. He put down the Shrinky-Pig 2000 and the Goosy-Grow 4000, and began writing on the billboards with his giant pencil.
