  Once upon a time in Lick-alot-ofice-cream 

Ville, there was a poor man named Yoshi, who 

owned an unsucessful ice cream shop.   A 

woman came to his ice cream shop one day. 

She looked at the little, shabby ice cream shop 

and said,

  "I will make your buisiness great, but in 

return, I ask for one thing in return."

  Yoshi, eager to have a better shop 

exclaimed,       "Anything! Anything at all!"

  The woman smiled, and replied,

"All right. I will get four of your finest cones to 

give to my children."

  Excited, Yoshi agreed quickly.

  All of the ice cream cones in   Yoshi's store 

heard the news. Most of them were excited 

about getting eaten. But four, Missy, Lucas, 

Cocoa, and Paul weren't. They liked being able 

to talk. They liked staying with Yoshi. They 

weren't going to leave.

  "Hmmm...hmmm...hmmm..." Yoshi mused.

  He was thinking, "Who will I give to the 

woman's 4 kids?"

  Then, he saw Cocoa, Paul, Missy, and Lucas. 

He took them one by one by one and put them 

in a special storage room so they could wait for 

the woman to come. Then, he went to sleep.

  When Yoshi was gone, Missy woke up and 

stretched. The others wondered what she was 

doing.

  Missy jumped from desk to desk, from 

window to window.

  "Missy, what are you doing?" Cocoa asked.

  "I'm busting out of here!" Missy exclaimed.

  "Why?! Are you NUTS!?!" Cocoa yelped.

  "Noooo!! I wanna be FREE!!" Missy yelled.

  "You're really not smart. We should just hide 

in here, instead of running away!" Paul 

shouted.

  Missy didn't listen to Paul. She jumped up 

and... was so tired, she fell asleep.

  The next morning, Missy knew that she 

couldn't wait until night again! She had to go 

out NOW!!

  But when she went to suggest this to Cocoa, 

Lucas and Paul, Cocoa was crying, and Lucas 

looked gloomy.

  "Why is everyone so sad? And where is 

Paul?" Missy asked. 

  Cocoa didn't answer, but pointed to a glob of 

yellow, and an empty cone beside it.

  Missy realized quickly that Paul had melted!!

  "We must escape now. Paul is melted. We 

don't want that to happen to us, correct?" 

Missy suddenly felt determined.

  Lucas and Cocoa agreed. So off went the ice 

cream cones!
