Old Story I Wrote

I was looking through my old stories I wrote when I found this:

Imagine this. A boy standing in front of a fast food restaurant, drooling for chicken. Now, imagine this boy not having any money. Imagine this boy realizing this. Imagine him crying. Now imagine the owner of that KFC says, “You’ll have to do this for the chicken.” Imagine the boy’s happiness. Imagine. Imagine this boy’s name is Jiro.

Before I tell you this story about Jiro, I must tell you, this is based on real life. Jiro is a real boy, he does love KFC but I doubt this ever happened. If you are wondering, you can ask Jiro. I don’t suggest it, he’ll probably get upset since he doesn’t have chicken. It’s because he loves KFC, so please don’t be surprised. Now, I’m not sure how much Jiro loves KFC, but it is possible he’ll do this. Let’s get on with the story, shall we?

Now, Jiro is standing in front of the owner of KFC. Imagine it. This is just in your mind but your mind is a powerful thing. Imagine Jiro leaning over the counter sticking his ear next to the owner’s mouth. I am just thinking of what Jiro would do in this situation. Imagine a hungry boy wanting his favourite food. I forgot one tiny, miniscule, detail. Jiro means chicken in chinese. Don’t be surprised, it’s true. Except you would add an u at the end to make it perfect.

Back to our story, the KFC owner thought this would be the perfect chance to get whatever he wanted. Jiro would possibly do anything for KFC. I say possibly because, I haven’t checked this information with Jiro. I will later. If I can get a hold of him that is. That boy is always running around, hungry for KFC.

The KFC owner had always wanted a Big Mac. However, he was not allowed to get one because he was the owner of KFC. So, he whispered into Jiro’s ear, “Get me a Big Mac.” Now, you can imagine Jiro’s disappointment. Do you know what Jiro wanted to do? Of course you don’t, I haven’t told you yet. Jiro wanted to go to a quest. He wanted to save the world from destruction. He could’ve completed that task but not a simple one like getting a Big Mac. As I already mentioned, Jiro does not have any money.

Howling, Jiro runs out of the KFC store. I didn’t see this with my own eyes, I doubt anyone did but he was definitely a strange sight to see. That is because this story is not real. If it was real then this would be non-fiction. This book is fiction. Fiction is better than non-fiction. Take my word for it.

Now, Jiro must get a job. Suddenly, Jiro has an idea. Imagine a lightbulb appearing on top of his head. A lit up lightbulb. Not a dead one. Got it? This was Jiro’s idea. Jiro wanted to find someone who would want him to go on a magical quest. Maybe Jiro would find gold or even diamonds. Then he could’ve got a Big Mac. Just then, Jiro’s lightbulb went out. If he got gold or diamonds, he could just buy KFC.

Jiro is angry. Imagine you just realized you had been tricked by someone. Jiro storms into the KFC shop and goes to see the owner. I’m not going to write exactly what Jiro said because little kids that are reading this do not need to learn how to be angry. Yes, yes, always be kind and nice to others. Don’t worry, it’s for the best.

After Jiro said that, the owner of KFC, let’s call him Bob, was surprised. Bob said, “Oh, did I say Big Mac? I meant big tic-tac.” Then Bob stretched out his arms to show Jiro how big. He didn’t stretch them as far as a meter. No, no, way farther. Wider than the room you’re in. As wide as one kilometer. Jiro looked to his left. To his right. He couldn’t see the ends of Bob’s arms. Yes, Bob is magical. However, Jiro didn’t seem to realize it. I’m not saying Jiro’s dumb, normal people cannot see magic.

Jiro, if you are reading this, I am not insulting you. I am saying you are not magical, but neither am I. Magic could be happening right in front of me, right now, but I would not be able to see it. Got it? Okay.

Even though Jiro could not see the ends of Bob’s arms, Jiro knew that he had to find a tic-tac one kilometer long. Yes, that’s a big tic-tac, I know. But would you get one to get your favourite food? Okay, you might not, but Jiro would. Jiro would definitely do that. Possibly. As I told you before, this is not a true story.

Sadly, disappointed, Jiro headed outside. Jiro dug a hole, he was searching for a portal. Thinking the bottom of the hole might be a portal in disguise. He jumped in. As you can probably guess, he got stuck. Now, Jiro cried and cried and cried. But, he knew he was going to find that giant tic-tac. Jiro might’ve done this in this story to send a message to young readers. Follow your dreams. Jiro’s dream was to get KFC.

Jiro’s tears collected at the bottom of the hole. Suddenly, the tears turned red. A shimmering, beautiful red. I haven’t mentioned this yet, but, Jiro loves red. Jiro fell in love with his own tears and kissed them. He fell through the tears into a different land. Now, Jiro’s quest had just begun.

Jiro ended up in a strange blocky world. Do you know Minecraft? Jiro does, he ended up in the Minecraft world. Jiro knew he wouldn’t find a tic-tac here. So, you know what Jiro did? He made a portal. Out of obsidian. You need lava to make obsidian. I would tell the whole story, but that would take too long. So let’s just say it took Jiro many days and many deaths to make a portal.

When Jiro finally stepped through it, he saw snow. Jiro was disappointed. Even though Jiro liked snow, at least I think he did, Jiro was sad. He wanted tic-tac’s not snow. Then, Jiro realized that the “snow” was actually tic-tacs.

As you can imagine, Jiro was now very hungry. I mean, he hasn’t eaten in forever! So, you probably guessed it, Jiro ate some tic-tacs. The tic-tacs weren’t exactly healthy so Jiro felt slightly sick, but it’s okay, he’s alive. You can probably find him eating right now. Don’t worry, he’s absolutely fine.

Suddenly, Jiro felt something hit his head. Jiro immediately smacked his head, then realizing, he had hurt himself. You might be wondering why. Well, it’s my job to answer your questions. Jiro hardly has any hair. Yep, that’s right, nearly no hair. Jiro realized that it was raining tic-tacs.

Jiro looked up, which was a good idea, and saw the biggest tic-tac ever. One kilometer wide. Jiro realized that was exactly what he needed to give to Bob. Jiro looked around and saw the highest, tic-tac mountain you ever did see. Not that you’ve seen any. They’re not real, sorry to crush your dreams. Jiro climbed, it wasn’t easy, but he made it to the top. You know what Jiro did? He grabbed the tic-tac.

Jiro went back through the obsidian portal, back through the red portal and back to KFC. He handed Bob the giant tic-tac and Bob ate it right away. I told you, Bob was magical. Bob kept his promise and handed Jiro some chicken. One chicken nugget. You can imagine Jiro was upset. Okay, angry. Furious. I’m not going to say what happened next, because, well, you just don’t need to know.

The End
