The coconut uprising
A chapter in the book The kittens conspiracy
The coconut uprising
by Iza Deleanu
The last thing Miss Pudding remembered was napping on a sun-warmed deck. The next thing she knew"SPLASH! She and her crew were flailing in the sea, bobbing like soggy muffins.
"Merde!" Coco yowled. "Ze boat! It is gone!"
"The boat?!" Mamaliga gasped, his Romanian accent thick with panic. "Forget the boat"where's the food?!"
They paddled desperately toward the nearest land, finally dragging themselves onto a sandy shore, coughing up salt water and pride.
"Where... are... we?" Mittens panted.
Miss Pudding flicked her tail. "A deserted island. Obviously."
"The boat?!" Mamaliga gasped, his Romanian accent thick with panic. "Forget the boat"where's the food?!"
They paddled desperately toward the nearest land, finally dragging themselves onto a sandy shore, coughing up salt water and pride.
"Where... are... we?" Mittens panted.
Miss Pudding flicked her tail. "A deserted island. Obviously."
"Wait." Whiskers narrowed his eyes. "Deserted... or cursed?"
Mamliga excited:"Man, we are like Robinson Crusoe. Can't wait to explore it!"
The wind howled. A coconut thumped onto the ground. Then another. And another.The cats froze. The coconuts... were rolling toward them.
"Coconuts don't move," Tuica muttered.
Mamaliga exclaimed: "Coco-what?"
"These do," said Misu.
The Coconut War Begins
The coconuts, possessed by unknown forces (or maybe just gravity), began their attack. One smacked Mittens on the head, and another sent Cocorolling into the bushes.
"We are under siege!" Coco wailed.
"FIGHT BACK!" Miss Pudding commanded.
Tuica grabbed a stick and swung wildly. THWACK! A coconut cracked in half. "Hah! Take that, demon nut!"
Misu hurled a shell like a discus. Mittens did a dramatic dodgeball. Miss Pudding, always the strategist, climbed a tree and started kicking coconuts down onto their enemies. But the coconuts... kept coming.
"We can't hold them off forever!" Whiskers cried.
"Then we need a miracle," Miss Pudding declared.
The Miracle Arrives
Just as the coconut army prepared for their final assault, a loud CHIRP echoed in the sky. A flock of sparrows swooped down like tiny feathered knights.
"Zut alors! Reinforcements!" Coco gasped.
The sparrows pecked and clawed, sending the coconuts tumbling back. The battle raged until the last coconut was finally defeated, rolling into the sea with a plop.The leader of the sparrows, Captain Pip, fluffed his feathers and nodded. "We saw your distress. We're flying back to Canada. Need a lift?"
The cats collapsed in relief. "YES."
And so, with paws gripping tiny bird feet, Miss Pudding and her crew soared away from Coconut Island, leaving behind a battlefield of broken shells and bruised egos.
As they flew toward home, Misu sighed. "I will never drink coconut water again."
"Or trust an island," Tuica muttered.
Miss Pudding smirked. "At least we know one thing for sure."
"What?" Whiskers asked.
She flicked her tail. "Coconuts can't swim."
