anyone about this back home when I was
in second grade every kid had to get up
in front of the class and tell a story I
knew I was good at telling stories so I
didn't stress but when I stood in front
of the class I froze I started to sweat
no matter how hard I tried I couldn't
make a sound I ended up throwing up on
the timeout rug you
nasty that's rough everyone expected me
to live up to my reputation I totally
choked I still say you should enter if
anyone so much as makes you feel queasy
they will answer to the wrath of
ignacius uana but if you do feel queasy

Allegra bandwagon you'll be living your
future in my lower intestine get it got
it moving on at storytelling who's the
best the Tiger in the coat and vest
hello
handsome tyranus what's your story it's
called goodbye King I wrote it myself it
goes something like
this in The Great Library room there was
a king who was a buffoon and there live
nearby a super rich Tycoon whose
ambition to rule made Alan's drool so
it's a fairy tale I TI it I'm not
finished goodbye Library goodbye King
hello tyrannicus you larest thing still
think your stories aren't good enough
well I don't know this breaking news
just in moments ago Z and Zed Zeppelin
struck the library and was punctured
mford what can you tell us well M the
big balloon thingy hit the pointy top of
the deal and it bued and
went well that's our mford okay it is
this reporter's sad duty to report that
Z Zed and their Zeppelin are Officially
Missing not if we can help
it and so when the Zeppelin hit the roof
it rattled the core a course po sh*t out
punctured the Zeppelin and sent Zed and
Z off to where a place none of us have
actually been before we've heard rumors
about it and most animalian believe it
exists you're not talking about Kee
don't be talking about I'm talking about
the land of over and Beyond
W all my tummy gurgled according to
their APD animalian positioning device
that's where Z and Zed landed what's
over on Beyond according to animalian
Folklore it's an everchanging land
populated by mythical creatures and
imaginary beings like unicorn hor s
trolls and Dragons oh my how do we get
there I haven't a
clue I'm afraid Z and Zed could be lost
[Music]
forever we have to get to the land of
over and Beyond but how Where Do We
Begin over here with the great big book
of animalian
folklore according to Legend the portal
that leads to over and Beyond MO moves
its location keeps changing it seems to
have a logic all its own if the portal
always moves how do we find it it
doesn't say check the index in the back
of the book maybe under missing zebra
zebra hold on a second let me look at
that book there's a pattern
here there's a pot or an N or something
a a hammer and a
scroll we need to find an n one with
this marking on it and Bust It Wide Open
to find a scroll
I've seen that marking before where
where
there my pot I found it years ago tucked
away behind some books in the fiction
section it seemed to need a home so I
put a plant in it and set it on my desk
yeah reie we need that ear by all means
it's yours and I suppose it's a good
idea Rufus is out growing it Rufus
that's my plant's name I raised him from
a teeny tiny Sprout isn't woofus the
cutie woest plant you ever seen yes reie
we'll replant Rufus later H we promise I
understand it's just that plants do grow
up so fast these days uh yeah now what
according to the pattern in the book we
need to smash the pot with a hammer and
it just so happens I have one why would
you have a hammer in your fur I've been
in that for trust me there are certain
things you do not want to know but it's
just that shh Let It Go it is the
mystery of the
[Music]
gaboo where reality ends imagination
begins that is where you'll find your
friends to search for the portal you
must take a look back in your mind to
your very first book my very first book
huh where's the picture book
section I remember these books me too
looking at pictures books is how I first
learned how to tell a story and there's
the first book I ever read which one
that
one it's called over and Beyond W I got
the chills anyone else got the chills
constantly of course I am coldblooded so
I'm all about the
chills
wa I think Zoey found the portal but now
how do we find
Zoey
hello look who dropped in where you
headed I have no idea then hang on
name's whim I fly wherever I feel like
and do whatever I feel like and since
you don't know where you're headed it's
time to fly off on a
win welcome to the land of over and
Beyond wo beautiful isn't it see that
stream that's the stream of
Consciousness over there that's the peak
of inspiration which leads to the
whirlpools of confusion I think I've
been there this is amazing gorgeous
isn't it have you seen any zebras around
here recently you mean zebras they
plowed their flying balloon into the
mountain of missing imagination sounds
about right I can drop you there
straight
away mountain of missing
imagination I'm starting to get a bad
feeling about this
[Music]
this is as far as I'll take you if you
ever need me just whistle you're sure
the zebras are in there you mean zebras
that's right and you won't go in there
with me not a chance why not dagm mon
lives in there dagm mon the dragon the
most feared creature in the land of over
and Beyond what can you tell me about
him nothing no one's seen him then why
is everyone afraid of him because no
one's ever seen
him but we've heard him loud and clear
take care love remember if you need me
just
whistle okay Zoe it's just a dark cave
with a fierce Dragon nothing to be
afraid of just keep walking and looking
for Z and
Z okay this is a little
scary
who goes there correction this is off
the meter scary Zoe's in there somewhere
we have to find a way in have no fear
Iggy will save
[Music]
her my lips have been smoed into
[Music]
unpleasantness hey what stink bug thank
my Lucky Stripes Zoe you've come for us
you are so special I'm sending you the
nicest thank you card that is a promise
shh pipe down you guys let me get you
out of here yeah let's get outle before
dadon gets
[Music]
back
what brings you here little girl little
I'm not a little girl my name is Zoe and
I'm taking my friends out of here oh
really interesting what gives you the
right to take them what gives you the
right to keep them I've never seen
anything like them before things I've
never seen before entertain me so you
keep them here because you're bored I'm
not bored they simply amuse me now tell
me little girl are you an appetizer or a
s dish quit calling me a little
girl do you realize that I'm a fire
breathing dragon and that one Blast from
my nose could turn you into little girl
flambe what do you say to that I say
call me little girl all you like but I
think it's sad that these zebras amuse
you they're so
boring I think I'm offended don't think
you'll get a headache this is probably
Zoe's plan to get us out of here
oh oh
sh I suppose you have something better
to offer I do and what can you possibly
offer me little girl a story if you like
it then you let the zebras Go free if
you don't you keep all of
[Music]
us is that our plan if anyone could tell
a story Zoe can I love a good
story oh I wish I had popcorn so tell me
a story if you dare once upon a time
there was a dragon a story about me D
tell D
tell this was a bored sad Dragon because
he had no friends he sat in his cave for
years upon years alone and pathetic so
far I don't like this story give me a
break I'm making this up as I go all
right
continue so one day something miraculous
happened a round rock rolled into his
cave this Little Rock was the first new
thing the dragon had seen since
forever the dragon was happy he had a
new pal they played together they ate
together they hung out
together then one morning when the
dragon woke up The Rock was
broken it was split into a bazillion
pieces what happened to the Rock let the
zebras go and I'll finish the story fine
but I'm not
pleased what a trip that was I'm just
glad to be back where's Zoe she's been
captured by a dragon a fire breathing
one all rats I was hoping for the
non-fire breathing variety we have to
find that portal
now per Zoe Gone Forever sadness
explodes from my nostrils with great
wetness and much oozing relax Iggy okay
good idea what do you want to bet the
next portal has something to do with
Dragons will you look at this I found a
Little Seedling that's not a Seedling
it's a corpore probably the one that hit
the Zeppelin and started this whole mess
quick find a place to plant it oh an
idea has att*cked my
melon got it you really ought to get a
crew in there and do a major C meaning
my
[Music]
friend it's a Venus fly trap to visit
over and Beyond you must send a small
creature that fits in my
lips but I barely even know you I am
falling in an unsafe
[Music]
speed gotcha where are you going I am in
search of a girl in a dragon righto then
hang
on so little girl continue your story
now stop calling me little girl and I'll
keep telling the story deal all right
continue The Rock was now broken into a
bazillion pieces the dragon was heart
sick he' lost his only friend his
friendship have been
broken and what happened next well the
Dragon heard a small peish squawk what
was it what was it the rock that the
dragon had found had not been a rock at
all it was actually an egg and inside
that egg was a tiny dragon the Tiny
Dragon looked up at the big dragon and
said are we still friends the big dragon
looked down at the baby dragon and
smiled we're still
[Music]
friends
that's why I took the zebras all I
really wanted was a
friend have you ever really tried to
make a friend no why not none of your
bees whes okay fine whatever so I told
you a story may I go now no tell me
another story about me little little
person and if I don't you're my
breakfast toast okay once upon a time
there was a dragon a mean one and ugly
one get to the good part about me or one
snorton I'll break out the jam to spread
on my toast one day this Dragon Came
Upon a creature even uglier and more
selfish than he
was relax it gets
better in the land of Animalia this
creature was known as
alra that is the worst sound I have ever
heard oh yeah so do you think you can do
better I couldn't do any
[Music]
worse hey that ain't half bad want to
try to do it
sure somehow their horrible voices
Blended together as one and made
beautiful
[Music]
music
and so they had found something in
common apart they made ugly useless
noise but together they made beautiful
music the
end I love that story I'm so glad so
I'll catch you later bye-bye no no tell
me another
story I once Babys sat for a 3- ton baby
hippo that was a ton less demanding than
you are I don't care tell me another one
or I'll I'll you'll turn me into a
fondue or something I get the point once
upon a time there was a dragon who
scared everyone all the
time why why did he do this because he
was just like you me get real everyone
in over him Beyond is terrified of you
but why because you're mean I'm not mean
I'm powerful no you're mean you held the
zebrra hostage you're holding me hostage
everyone in over and Beyond is a AF of
you and in my book that's mean but fear
is my only Power I do it very well I
might add but no one wants to hang
around with a meanie that's why you're
lonely I should know what do you mean
you should know well back home when I
was younger sometimes when I felt
threatened or angry I would say and do
mean things too why because it made me
feel powerful but these days I don't do
that so much what do you do instead did
when I get mad or frustrated I tell a
story about a mad or frustrated
character are you mad and frustrated now
yes I want out of here then continue
your story now if you say so but then
will you let me go it depends on how
good your story is great no
pressure once upon a time there was a
dragon he was only skilled at one thing
this Dragon could
scare he could scare a gorilla
he could scare a little
iguana I feel na good boo but there was
only one thing that the dragon couldn't
scare away it was a fear he held deep
down inside himself it was um it was
what his biggest fear was no don't say
it it was spiders no clowns no man no a
fire extinguisher
no my biggest fear is letting everyone
in over and Beyond see me I'm terrified
that I won't be as scary as they think I
am that's why I hide in this cave all
the time it's easy to live up to your
Legend if no one has ever seen you I
hear that back in Animalia everyone
wants me to enter the storytelling
contest because I'm supposed to be the
best Storyteller ever but I don't want
to enter it because I might let everyone
down but you won't you couldn't you're
an amazing Storyteller no you're just
saying that because you're holding me
c*ptive no I mean it and for the record
when you turn on the fierce thing you
are totally terrifying really absolutely
we have something in common I guess that
makes us
friends
friends so I can go back to Animalia now
as long as you promise to visit now and
again you got a deal back off big lizard
or I will be forced to use my amazing
ninja MO moves to destroy you relax Iggy
dagon's letting me go that's good
because I have no ninja moves whatsoever
except for this karate chop which I
enjoy quite a
bit ow ow that really hurt good luck
with being fierce but don't be afraid to
show your nice side either I won't and
good luck with your storytelling contest
thanks no thank
you
seems to be a lot of traffic in and out
of this cave these days where you headed
home to
[Music]
anamelia I had no idea I haunted that I
guess you learn something new about
yourself every day
[Music]
oh dear I didn't know it did that
[Music]
either and in the end the fierce Dragon
overcame his fears and came out of his
lair he Charmed and occasionally
frightened the creatures in the great
land of over and
Beyond well I guess we have our winner I
had no idea you had that story in you
neither did I
neither did
