Kazoo NeededSo there's this astronaut horse named Kazoo Needed, and all the children love him because he teaches them complex mathematics formulas. One day, Kazoo Needed decided to go to visit a far off galaxy to help some school children with their studies and all the children of Earth decided to thank him for all of the help that he'd given them with their schoolwork. "What can we do to show our appreciation for this fine horse friend of ours?" They thought.
"I know," said Ricardo, "we can get him a giant pile of presents!"
"But we don't have that much money," said Matilda.
"That's okay," said Ricardo, "We can make him presents."
All of the children cheered. They would make Kazoo Needed a heap of presents. A mountain of presents. A mountain so big, so high, that Kazoo Needed could see it from space! Yeah!
The children got to work building and crafting toys and presents. Ricardo made a toy airplane out of some Styrofoam plates that his mother had bought in bulk. Matilda made a sock monkey. Johnny made a truck out of alphabet blocks that his older brother Ronald helped him put together with a hot glue gun. Nicole found some old stuffed animals that she thought Kazoo Needed might like. That rich kid, Thurston, had his butler go out and buy Kazoo Needed a model train set.
Soon there was a pile of toys and gifts taller than a house. And the children waited for Kazoo Needed's return to Earth. "Kazoo Needed, coming in for a landing," said the automated voice on the space ship.
The children cheered. "In 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...," said the voice.
But where was Kazoo Needed? He did not land in his normal spot. The children didn't even see him in the sky. Was something wrong? Was it a trick? Maybe Kazoo Needed decided not to come back... no, maybe something was terribly wrong! Days went by with no word from the Mighty Astronaut Horse and the children started to get distraught. Soon their sorrow turned to anger, "Why would he leave us? We need him. How can we have fun or do algebra without him?", said the children.
Many of the children took back their toys and lost the will to do math. It just wasn't worth it anymore...
