I can recall, when I was a little sponge, my mother would get up every morning and cook breakfast for my father and me. My mother would cook some pancakes, biscuits with fresh jelly jam, bacon, sausage and eggs. Those were the best days of my life. While she was cooking I would be outside rolling around on my skateboard. She would yell out the kitchen window when the food was ready. She was the best mother ever. Just as frequent as she would cook breakfast, she would say,"Now, SpongeBob, you be a good boy today and STAY AWAY from the skate park down town." I never really understood why she would tell me that every day. Me, being the good boy that I was, I never went to the skate park downtown.
It was time to go to school after breakfast and I saw the bus parked outside the house. I asked my mother if it was okay that I rode my skate board to school. Surprisingly she said, "Yes, SpongeBob. Be safe son."
I screamed out, "YOUR'E THE BEST MOM!".
Looking back on that morning I wish she would have told me, "No."
As I was skating to school I passed by Patrick's house. I saw him standing outside waiting for the bus. I yelled out, Pat, grab your skateboard! We are not taking the bus today." He grabbed his skateboard and we rolled out. I wondered if Sandy wanted to ride her skateboard with us. She lived down the street from Patrick. We stopped by her house and she was not outside. We continued to skate and a couple seconds later, Sandy flew by and said, "Come on punks! Last one to the skate park is a nematode!"
Without a second thought I raced her and Patrick to the skate park downtown. Once we got there we were skating like crazy. Patrick ended up being the nematode. I was doing flips and tricks off the railing and then I skated into the tunnel and never came out. It was dark and it felt eerie. I began to slow down and check out the tunnel. I saw a pair of eyes looking dead at me in the dark. I began to panic. In the next second, someone snatched me and threw me in a bag! I could not remember anything except when I arrived at a peculiar house. There was a weird smell. It kind of reminded me of the dump squidward was cleaning.
I was surprised to see Squilliam Fancyson, Squidwards, evil brother. I knew I was in trouble! This is why my mother told me not to come to the skate park downtown.
Squilliam pulled me out of the bag and sat me down. He felt my arms and my legs. "You're rather tough," he said. " I think you might be all I have for dinner. You won't taste bad boiled. I have prepared fresh herbs from my garden that would complement you."
I began to scream and holler for my mother. I even screamed for Patrick and Sandy. They could not hear me!
Squilliam tied me up and stuffed an apple in my mouth. I never been so terrified in the my life! All I wanted to do was skate and now I am dinner. He lowered me in the pot, turned the fire up and covered the pot. I noticed he left out the room and went down the hallway. I used my feet to kick the top off and I ran out of his house naked with an apple in my mouth!
Authors Note: I wrote this story based off of Mr. Miacca from the storybook English Fairy Tales. The original story was about a boy who did not listen to his mother. He was sometimes a good boy and sometimes a bad boy. He decided not to listen to his mother when she told him not to go in the street by himself or he might get caught by Mr. Miacca. Mr. Miacca is known for capturing kids. That is exactly what he did with him. In my story I made SpongeBob that little boy. I made a pre-story to the original story instead of re-writing it where it started. I felt like we were not introduced to the family setting in the story. We did not know the relationship between the little boy and his mother. I wanted to paint a picture of a family scene in my story. I did change the ending of the story. I was not impressed by the end of the original story because Mr. Miacca cut off Tommy's leg. I thought that was violent. I wanted a little more humor in my story. I also thought it was weird how he was able to get out the pot and run out of the place with one leg.
