19. The Flight of the Goofy Glider

CHAPTER 19 THE FLIGHT OF THE GOOFY GLIDER Fluffy and Cheeseball had to admit that it was pretty cool flying over the city streets on a paper airplane. They didn't even seem to mind the fact that they were only about an inch tall each. But you can probably imagine the boys' concern when they started heading straight for a wood chipper.

"Oh, NO!" cried Fluffy. "We're gonna get, um... WOOD CHIPPERED to death!" Cheeseball couldn't look. He put his hands over his eyes and waited for the inevitable. But suddenly, SWOOOOSH! The paper airplane swerved sharply and missed the wood chipper altogether. "Hey!" cried Fluffy. "How did that happen?" "I don't know," said Cheeseball. "I'm not steering this thing!"

The boys had barely caught their breath when a small dog noticed the airplane and came running after them. "Oh, NO!" cried Cheeseball. "We're gonna get eaten by a WIENER DOG!" Fluffy covered his eyes this time.

But wouldn't you know it, the airplane swerved sharply upward and out of the range of the little dog altogether. "Are you doing that?" asked Cheeseball. "No," said Fluffy. "It must be the wind!"

Finally, the paper airplane landed in a wet, sticky pile of hot blacktop. "Yuck!" said Fluffy. "What could be worse than gettin' stuck in a pile of blacktop?" "Maybe getting crushed by a big steamroller thingy," said Cheeseball. "You sure have an active imagination," said Fluffy. "No, I don't," said Cheeseball, as he pointed upward. "Look!"

"Oh, NO!" screamed Fluffy. "We're gonna get STEAMROLLER THINGIED to death!"
