MUSTY ISLAND - Yes! Cha-Ching! My favourite holiday has arrived! Which holiday
could be better than the oh-so-popular Haiku Week!?! This article is a tribute
to the most popular holiday ever in history. Haiku Week dates back years and
years ago. Rorru the Kougra first came to Mystery Island by boat. Back then
the natives didn't speak at all. Rorru taught the natives how to talk and then
how to piece together haiku. Now all their chants are haiku that they make by
themselves but sometimes they go to Rorru for a bit of help. I spoke with some
kind natives and they taught me their Gadgadsbogen Chant. It goes like this:
"It's Gadgadsbogen,
Mumbo Pango bring new fruits,
Make them delicious!"
It took them two months to make up that cheer! But back to the story. A group
called the Anti-Haiku Clan didn't like the idea of haiku They believed that
Rorru was trying to trick the tribe in some way (don't ask me why, they aren't
the most expensive items in the Hidden Tower if you catch my drift.) Those natives
became the Anti-Haiku Clan. One day the Anti-Haiku Clan attacked the haiku-speaking
natives. The haiku-speaking natives were peaceful and didn't have any weapons.
Rorru came to the rescue with his trusty Black Frost Cannon. A couple of black
frost balls later Rorru had saved the natives so they dedicated not a day, but
a whole week to Rorru! Now every Haiku Week the natives protest in front of
Rorru's home in hopes some haiku-speaking natives will join them.
Don't take haiku lightly, a haiku is not easy to make. It's made of one line
of five syllables then one line of seven syllables then one more line of five
syllables. Rorru still works at the Haiku Generator today. He gives haiku out
each day, so don't expect to beat his record at the Poetry Contest! He has over
200 Poetry Contest trophies! Now since it's Haiku Week, all ten members of the
Anti-Haiku Clan protest with signs that have only pictures (they never learned
English from Rorru like the other natives) in front of Rorru's home. I decided
I might as well try an interview with their leader, Tarkolin.
TK: Hello, Tarkolin? I'm too_kule, from The Neopian Times. I heard that
your clan refused to learn to speak from Rorru. Is this true?
Tarkolin: ???
TK: Oh right...just nod your head for yes and shake it for no.
Tarkolin: ???
TK: I forgot, you have no clue what I'm saying! I might as well just
end this interview.
Coconuts who don't talk make kind of poor conversationalists. I decided it'd
be better if I interviewed Rorru instead.
TK: Hello! I am too_kule, a reporter from The Neopian Times. Anti-Haiku
Clan members protest in front of your home every Haiku Week. How does this make
you feel?
Rorru: *tears run down his face*
TK: Oh, I see. Why can't you talk?
Rorru: *signals with his paws that he lost his voice*
TK: On Haiku Week? That must be sad. This is your favourite holiday,
isn't it?
Rorru: *nods his head*
SMASH!
A spear got thrown through Rorru's window. A member of the Anti-Haiku Clan
ran in and was about to hurt Rorru when Rorru pulls out his faithful Black Frost
Cannon. Black frost got fired all around the room. The Tombola Man came out
to see what the racket was. At first I thought he was going to try to break
the fight up...until he started yelling and throwing bottles of sand everywhere!
It got a little too violent for me there so I left. It's a good thing, I was
about to be hit in the neck by a Poison Dart thrown by one of the members from
the Anti-Haiku Clan. Well this is too_kule reporting from Mystery Island. See
ya!
Note: I would like to thank Rorru and the Tarkolin (the Mystery Island native)
for agreeing to the interviews. I would also like to thank Neopets for creating
such an action packed holiday. It couldn't be any more exciting! Talk to ya
later. |
