The Rise of Pancake and Butter

This is Pancake and Butter. They were made by Crafty, but stolen by a random person and stored at the bottom of a pile of pancakes. Pancake and Butter felt so bad for the pancakes that were being eaten. They could hear every pancake loudly scream as they got brutally cut up and eaten by humans’ vicious teeth. Pancake and Butter were so nervous that their brains almost popped out of their heads! And when they were the last pancake left, and a cruel human was looming over them, they felt as small as a millionth of an atom. They were almost traumatized when the evil human reached out its stinky, horrifying, brain-squeezing, and strong hand with nails as sharp as machetes and as powerful as gamma ray and a black hole mixed together to create the ultimate weapon of pancake-eating. And the mouth was the worst. It could devour a pancake in one bite! Every time a pancake got eaten, Pancake and Butter shut their eyes! It seemed like a ghost nightmare come true! And Pancake and Butter were so lucky when they were the last pancake and butter on the plate and the humans patted their stomachs and went away to wash their hands.

“Did you see that, Pancake?” Butter whispered. “They’re full! Now we just have to escape this evil house of cruel humans!” Butter emphasized his words on “evil” and “cruel.”

Pancake couldn’t blame him. He felt so bad for the fallen pancakes, butter, syrup, and other foods. Pancake talked to Butter about it and they agreed that they were going to avenge them. Pancake hopped behind a plate and took Butter with him (since Butter is on top of Pancake).

Then, a few hours later, Pancake and Butter were asleep, and a human was looking for flies to zap with his super-strong bug zapper and found Pancake and Butter behind and called out, “Fred? Fred! Did you put this pancake behind a plate?”

“No, I don’t recall,” Fred replied.

The first human dumped Pancake and Butter into the compost bin.
