Chapter 35 - I've Flopped and I Can't Get Up
It was almost dinner time. Hobo and Mocha were relaxing aboard the Starship Bunnyprise. Hobo flopped over on his side. He didn’t move for a bit. Mocha went over to his best friend and asked, “Are you OK?”
Hobo quipped, “Yes. I’m fine. Just waiting for dinner!” Hobo loved dinner time. He loved breakfast, too. And treat time. Hobo liked to eat.
As he tried to flop himself back on his feet, he rolled over on his back instead. “Oops!” he said to Mocha, as he thrashed around, “I flopped and I can’t get up!” He thrashed around, trying to get his feet back on the ground, but it was no use. Mocha tried to help, but there wasn’t anything he could do.
Just then, Dad came in the room to deliver dinner. Mocha thought, “Dad! Hobo is stuck! Can you help him?” Dad looked at Hobo, who looked like a turtle stuck on his back. He exclaimed, “Hobo! Are you stuck?” Hobo thrashed around some more, trying to right himself.
“Do you need some help?” asked Dad. He grabbed Hobo by his ample waist and rolled him back on his feet. Hobo stood up, shook himself off, and tried to look as nonchalant as possible.
As he dug into the dinner tray, Hobo said to Mocha, “I gotta lose some weight! I don’t know how I get so fat just eating salad!” Mocha just shook his head and laughed to himself. He knew that wasn’t going to happen.
Poor Hobo needs some help...
