4 Be Like the Water

Chapter 4 Be Like the Water Sit here and tell me about the dreams. This is why you brought me into the woods?

I don't know. My dreams are really weird. I have a collection of dented Ping-Pong balls with faces. That's weird. Okay. I dream about doughnuts. Awesome! I love doughnuts. No. These doughnuts are alive like the Glo-Nuts. But they're bad. Like zombie eat-your-brains bad.

What do I do? First, hold Batty. His superpower is making you feel better. Second, when I get mad or upset, I sometimes breathe to calm myself down. TAKE A BREATH IN... SLOWLY. THEN... BREATHE OUT SLOWLY.

See that stream? It can't move that rock so it goes around it. Be like the water. Just flow. Just flow? Just flow. For example, pretend that I broke your favorite action figure. You broke the Booger Baron? It can fire booger bombs from both nostrils!

No. I didn't. But if I did, what would you do? I'd get really upset and break your Captain Cootie Command Center.

If you take some deep breaths, you won't be so upset. Be like the water. What does Batty think about the water stuff? He's a stuffed animal, dude. It's my turn to hold him. I'm never going to stop having these dreams. We will figure this out, Bot. That's what friends do. But try not to go to sleep for the next week.
