1 The Agony of Da-feet

BLACK LAGOON ADVENTURES #6 THE FIELD DAY FROM THE BLACK LAGOON

CHAPTER 1 THE AGONY OF DA-FEET Coach Kong marches us into the gym and lines us up. He paces back and forth, holding his clipboard. "Next Friday, we're having a field day," he declares. He reads off some of the events from his list. I nervously start picking at the rubber on my sneakers. It sounds like the script for an action movie. "Parachute," says Coach Kong. Do we have to jump out of an airplane? GET THE LEAD OUT!

"Obstacle course," he continues. Do we have to run through fire, leap over lions, hop over hippos, skip through snakes, and tiptoe around tigers?

Then there's Charlie Over the Water. They fill a big tank with hungry sharks and throw us in. That gets you ready for the One- Legged Race. I don't think I field so good. I ask Coach Kong if everyone has to be at the field day. He just laughs and says, "It'll be a day you'll never forget."
