Grapple, short for Green Apple, was the biggest fan of Shrek there could be. Shrek lived in a swamp, Grapple was found in a swamp! Shrek was green, Grapple was green too! That’s like as many things you can have the same as you can!
One day Grapple’s mummah took him on a walk to the park which was the best thing ever because he got to be with his mummah and see many pretty things and sometimes mummah got him a treat!
A vroom vroom was driving around slowly, playing one of Grapple’s favorite songs. It was the one that played on his friend in the box, classic tune.
“Hey Graps, you want a treat? It’s hot out and good boys need to stay cool.” His mummah asked him with a smile.
“Ams aways coow, mummah!”
His mummah giggled and ruffled his fluff. The pair walked up to the ice cream truck and Grapple immediately spotted his best friend ever (after mummah). “Mummah! Mummah! Ams Schwek!”
Mummah laughed and asked if he wanted his bestest friend to which Grapple obviously said yes to. Instead of his bestest bud mummah got two sticks covered in a wrapper.
“Whewe ams Schwek mummah? Did vroom vroom mistuh twicks yu?”
“Shrek is under these wrappers bud, but first we have to find a spot to sit down.”
“Oh. Otay!” Grapple followed his mummah to a park bench and scampered onto it, resting on his haunches.
Mummah tore off the wrapping and gave the stick to Grapple. It kind of looked like Shrek? If you squinted and were looking at it from really far away.
“Dis ams Schwek?” Grapple asked, confused.
“Haha, yeah they’re always a bit off but that’s a Shrek. Give it a lick!” Mummah did as she suggested and licked on her Shrek, “It’s tasty good!”
“Buh Schwek nuh ams nummies! Ams fwen!”
Mummah was straining not to laugh at the poor little guy, “it’s a special nummies Shrek, trust me.”
Grapple didn’t want to eat his best friend ever but mummah was even more his best friend and he didn’t want to make her sad. He gave Shrek a lick. It was so tasty! He kept licking, it was goodest nummies but his heart hurt.
