SIGH’S MANY SHOPS : Episode 5

img_5516

S-s-sometimes a s-shop isnt a shop on the sur-surface. T-take a line at a p-p-pwize c-counter at an a-amusement p-park. Customers p-p-pay to p-pway the game. A-and if they w-w-win they g-ge-get exchange t-tickets f-f-for a pwize! So in a s-sense the pwize c-c-counter is m-much like a sh-shop. Le-lets see if an-anyone g-gets any c-c-cool pwizes.

img_5517

At a local theme park, we see a line of people at the prize counter. They’ve all won various amounts of tickets playing the games. They’re all hoping to have enough for the prize they desire. I wonder how many tickets everyone won?

img_5518

Woof: Come! Everyone! I’ve got prizes for everyone!! Do you have enough tickets to get your prize? We’ll see! Come on up!!!

img_5520

Snowcone: I hope we got enough tickets!

Kitsune: I hope so too! We played that game and I think we did well!!

Snowcone: We did! Im sure we got enough tickets!!!

I certainly hope these two managed to procure enough tickets for their desired prize! I was never very good at amusement park games. I could never get enough tickets. Needless to say, I never left with any prizes beyond the small trinkets that required a ticket or two to get. But, anyways, let’s see what else is going on here.

Caramel: I definitely didn’t get enough tickets. I wasn’t very good at that game. I hope I can at least get a decent prize still. I think I should have enough for that.

Caramel looks at the tiger in front of him. He was very good at the game, Caramel remembers.

Caramel: This guy ahead of me got a whole bunch of tickets. I can’t believe how good he was at that game! I bet he could get all of the prizes if he wanted. Oh dear…I hope he doesn’t want all of them! I still want to get a prize!! Oh dear!!

I certainly hope the everyone can get a prize! Would one person be selfish enough to take all of the prizes? I can’t imagine that anyone would be! But, let’s take a look for ourselves.

img_5522

Woof: Well hello there, my friend! Tell me, how many tickets have you got?

Tim Tim: RARRR!!! Tim Tim has lots of tickets!! RAR!!! Tim Tim has 150 tickets!!

Woof: Whoa!! 150? Nobody’s ever gotten that many!

Tim Tim: RAAAR!! Tim Tim really good at that game!

Woof: Ho ho!! Well then, which prize would you like today?\

Tim Tim: RARRAR!! Tim Tim wants the rhino! Rhino super fierce! Just like Tim Tim!!!

Woof: Here you go my little friend!

img_5523

Tim Tim: RAARR!! Tim Tim loves his rhino!!

And with that, we see that Tim Tim was not selfish at all! He just wanted his rhino. And he got it! How splendid! And now everyone else will have a chance to get a prize too. I hope they can all get what they want!

D-do you s-s-see how a p-pwize counter is s-si-simiwar to a sh-shop? You s-s-still twade s-some for of c-c-cuwwency for a p-pwoduct.

SIGH’S MANY SHOPS: Episode 3

img_5194

S-some shops s-s-sell things y-yike ant-tiques or o-old t-toys. Y-you can f-f-find just ab-bout anything a-at so-some shop o-or another.

B-but some s-s-shops sell th-things that c-ca-cant be f-found just anywhere. M-mysterious items th-that nobody knows ab-b-bout. T-t-today were g-g-going to v-visit one s-such shop. L-lets t-ta-take a look.

img_5195

A shop with guards at the door. Have you ever seen one like that? What could the possibly sell that requires guarding the door? Why don’t we take a look at what people are shopping for here?

img_5197

Trey is looking at a large key. What could this key unlock? Where would you even find a door big enough to fit it? I’ve never seen one.

Trey: What does this key unlock?

Cashier: Nobody knows. But whatever it is, someone wanted it kept secret. Otherwise, we would know more about it.

Trey: Hmm…very interesting.

That is interesting, Trey. I’m not too certain I would want to see what’s behind the door that key unlocks. Let’s continue our little field trip, shall we?

Frogheart: This xylophone is is pretty cool!

Cashier: I wouldn’t touch that. Word is the thing’s cursed.

Frogheart: C-cursed?

Cashier: That’s what I’ve heard. The guy who sold it to me couldn’t wait to get rid of it. He says whoever touches it will get cursed. He put it there when I bought it from him and I haven’t touched it since.

Frogheart backs away from the xylophone. I can’t blame him either. I wouldn’t take that chance either. A cursed xylophone, that’s spooky! I spook easy too. So, I definitely want to stay away from anything that could be cursed!! I think maybe we should skip the rest of the shop. What’s that? You want to keep going? If we must, but I still think we should leave. No? Oh well, just thought I’d try again. Let’s keep going.

img_5198

Dog Dog: How much for this bangle?

Cashier: It’s about $300. But I would really reconsider. This bangle is known to bring bad luck to everyone who’s ever worn it.

Zeb Zeb: I think you should listen to the cashier, Dog Dog.

Dog Dog: I’m not too concerned about a little bad luck. Besides, I won’t be wearing it all the time. Just for special occasions.

Zeb Zeb: Are you sure about this? Is it really worth taking the chance? You don’t exactly have the best luck in the first place.

Cashier: I would listen to your friend, pal.

Dog Dog: It’ll be fine. Stop worrying so much.

img_5200

Dog Dog pays for the bangle and he and Zeb Zeb leave. I’m not too sure he should have bought that. I wouldn’t want something the could bring me bad luck. But Dog Dog seems to think that nothing will happen. I hope he’s right.

Wait a minute. I think I hear something. Do you hear it too? It’s coming from outside. Let’s take a look. This place is giving me the creeps anyways.

Now let’s investigate that sound. I don’t see anything around the store. Maybe? Is that? What is that? In the distance, above the store. Look there!

img_5199

Is that a ghost? And a…giant owl? Wearing a witch’s hat? What the heck is going on here? Just what kind of shop is this? I’m getting out of here. This place is really creeping me out.

img_5201

Th-this shop s-s-sells some p-pwetty cweepy th-things. And y-yet it s-s-seems that they c-ca-can still s-sell their w-w-wares. I h-hope things will w-w-work out for D-d-dog Dog. And j-j-just wh-what was up w-wif the g-g-ghost and the o-owl? Th-they were p-p-pwetty cweepy. Its n-no wonder our n-na-nawwator wanted to w-weave as s-soon as p-possible! Y-you know, I d-d-didnt know th-that some s-shops were s-so spooky. M-maybe because I t-twy to keep a n-n-nice non s-spooky s-shop myself! I w-wonder what the n-ne-next shop we v-v-visit will b-be yike?

Sigh’s Many Shops Episode 2

OH!!! Thank you for coming back to my bwog for episode 2 of Sigh’s Many Shops!! We hope you enjoy this second story!!! Here we go!!!!!

SIGH’S MANY SHOPS: Episode 2

img_5154

The c-corner store, the m-m-mini m-mart, the c-co-convenience s-s-store. W-whatever you c-ca-call it, its a n-nice pwace to g-get just ab-bout anything. S-sure it m-ma-may cost a b-bit m-more, but its w-worth it to n-n-not have to g-go to the s-s-supermarket. But w-what h-h-happens if the c-corner store has an ex-excwu-excwusive item? And it-its the w-wast one? What d-d-do you d-do in the s-situation? W-well see j-j-just how some c-cu-customers handle th-that vewy s-scenawio.

img_5155

A local convenience store, Raja’s Mini Mart. A place to get just about anything you need, for a slightly higher price than the name brand stores, due to the convenience of it. But something seems wrong at this shop. Everything appears to be thrown about. What’s happened here? Let’s take a closer look.

img_5157

Zebra: Oh my. I can’t believe they’re acting like this. They’ve practically destroyed the place!

img_5158

Little Rabbit: What’s going on? Why is the store a mess? And what’s with them at the register?

Zeb Zeb: I think it’s something to do with that new ice cream drink that came out. There’s just one left and they all want it.

Little Rabbit: Really? Is that really worth tearing the place apart?

Zeb Zeb: It was really bad earlier. At least it’s calmed down some now.

Customers going crazy over a new product? Have you ever seen this happen? It seems like a crazy situation, to say the least. I can’t imagine throwing things around simply to be the one to get the last of a new product. Would you ever do something like this? I should hope not.

Madame Mammoth: I demand that you give the last ice cream drink to me!! \

Puppers: No!! I was here first, give it to me!!

Trey: You were not! I was here before either of you!! Give me that ice cream drink!!

Raja, the cashier, can’t get a single word in as the trio of irate customers continue to argue. She wishes she had never started carrying this new drink. She tries and tries to plead with the customers, but her words continue to fall on deaf ears.

After about thirty minutes of constant bickering, Raja decides that enough is enough. “You want this?” she growls at the three troublemakers, “Then go and get it!” She tosses the drink out the door and watches as they run out, each trying to get it. The rest of the customers clear out of the store afterwards. Raja looks around at her shop. It’s a complete mess.

img_5161

Raja: Oh dear…this will take me forever to clean up. I guess I’ll be getting home late tonight.

Raja sighs and starts to clean. But she soon gets a surprise as two customers come back inside. The two customers, who introduce themselves as Seymour and Zebra offer her apologies on behalf of the three troublemakers.

Seymour: We’re so sorry that they wrecked your store.

Zebra: Yea, we came back to help you clean up.

Raja: No, you don’t have to do that. It is my store, after all.

Zebra: Maybe so, but it’s not your mess.

Seymour: Besides, you’ll be here all night if you do this alone. Let us help you.

Raja smiles at the two and nods. The three of them start cleaning up.

img_5162

In what seems like no time at all, they get the shop back in order. The three collapse on the ground and start to talk. Raja soon realizes that she has a lot in common with Seymour and Zebra, and the three become fast friends. And though she decides to stop carrying the ice cream drink immediately, she is glad that she made new friends because of it.

A n-new d-dwink caused a h-hu-huge pwobwem for W-w-waja. Th-tha’s a b-bit mind b-bo-boggwing isnt i-it? B-but in the e-end she m-ma-made a couple of n-n-new fwiends. So it a-all worked out in th-the end. B-b-but if you w-w-wun a sh-shop of your o-own…j-j-jus be caref-ful of any n-new pwoducts you s-start to c-cawwy. F-f-for they could b-bw-bwing thare o-own p-pwobwems.
