"The 5000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 dollar baby"

O
nce upon the time, there was a baby that cried every time that he did not get his allowance. If you thought that a baby should not get any allowance, you are wrong. So, as I was saying, the baby's name was curlyichous (curly-E-Shish). He loved to buy rubber bananas and potatoes. On Saturday, he gets daily allowance of 5000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 dollars. Imagine how many bananas and potatoes! But the store that he went to daily knew that curlyichous got 5000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 dollars. So when he came into the store, the storekeeper immediately charged a banana for 5000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Plus the 50% sales tax. So a banana for curlyichous would be about 6000,000,000,000,000,000,000 dollars. Kind of unfair rite, you would think that it was unfair but curlyichous didn't.

That process of getting 5000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 dollars every day and getting about 5 bananas took about 10 years until one day, his mom and dad who usually worked for a billionaire dollar salary got laid off. Disaster eh? Well, it was. Because that day, curlyichous really wanted bananas really badly. So when curlyichous heard about the laid off and his no bananas until his mom and dad could not give him 5000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 dollars, he got upset.

 

First, he started to throw tantrums, and then he went to the store and caught a glimpse of the ten-cent per banana. But it instantly changed into 5000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

He walked up to the storekeeper and said in a loud voice, "you changed the price the moment I came in!

The storekeeper said innocently, "No I didn't"!

Well things did not happen out that good because curlyichous sued the store and in the court curlyichous lost because he did not have any evidence. And he obviously couldn't talk that well because he was only a baby! (Timeout. I forgot to tell you that curlyichous was pretty smart but couldn't talk that well) time in! So, he went back home and thought about the sad lost that he earned and after 88 hours of thinking it over, he decided to bring a camera when he went into he store.

 

So the next day, he walked into the store and his camera out, ready to take a picture of a 50-cent banana sign. So, he walked in and saw the %o cent banana. So he immediately took a picture and went to longs drug to process it. When it came out, all he had to do was take a picture of the 500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000-dollar price. That was going to be easy, thought curlyichous.

So he walked into the store and saw the 500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 prices and immediately took a picture. Then he prepared for another sue. He programmed a robot and got the pictures ready and sued the storekeeper again. Imp the court; he sued the 50cent picture and the 5000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000-dollar banana. And at the end, he won and got back his 500000000000000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00,00,000,000,000,00,000,0000,00,000 that he wasted at the store.



The End
