At the Library ....

Tomh&r decided to go to the library.  They didn't want to settle for a small town library, no way ... they went straight to the huge one downtown.  After enjoying a few trips up and down the escalators they finally decided it was time to find some good books. 

Alphonso went straight to the  Origami section to learn how to fold origami napkins.  He had one with him, as always, and started right in.  He fumbled it up a few times and ended up with a folded up gob of nothing until he finally figured out the knack and made a lovely origami swan.  Now he'll have to get a new napkin for dinner time so he doesn't mess up his art.

Lola headed for the joke book section.  She was looking for a "1001 fart jokes" book but didn't find any.  She settled for one called "Really Stinky fart Jokes" and thought it was hilarious.  She told the others jokes all day long.

Ted & Ed wanted to get a book on how to make a vortex or a black hole but it had to be a picture book because they don't know how to read.  Gustave spent the day teaching them.  Good thing they're fast learners.

Luigi looked up cookbooks.   Pierre was looking for instructions on how to build a meth lab to make a few extra bucks but couldn't find anything.  The security people were giving him funny looks so he gave it up.  

Ned chose some light reading like Pride & Prejudice and War & Peace.  He put them in his backpack and as soon as he put it on, he fell backwards from all the weight.  This happens to UpYours all the time so he gave Ned some tips on flipping back upright.  Ned was very grateful for the help.

Freddy was trying to find a book on how to kill flies (for his crumpets) without squishing them.

They looked all over for Jed, he seemed to have disappeared.  Finally they found him in a corner with a cappuccino  reading Cosmo. Oh dear.

They toured the whole library, from the bottom floor all the way up so that everyone got a chance to look for whatever interested them.  Al helped them out with the books on the top shelves by knocking them down for easier reach.

Finally it was time to go home.  Ned's backpack was full, but at least he mastered walking upright without falling on his back again.  UpYours has a very roomy shell and carried quite a few books in there.  Raoul had brought along his skateboard and carried the rest on it.

When they got home they discovered a new friend had arrived.  It was Guerrero.  He's a fluffy orange cat.  He's also a ninja, or thinks he's a ninja.  He wears a black mask and his fluff sticks out all around it.  Guerrero is Ed & Ted's idol, they keep badgering him to teach them ninja moves for Fight Club but he says they're not ready.
