Freddy! King of Flurb - Peter Hannan
Chapter 1
Freddy, King of Zilch
Why was Freddy first in line at Greasy King that Saturday morning? Why did he drink twenty-seven humungo-sized root beers for breakfast? It wasn’t because he wanted the twenty-seven cardboard Greasy King crowns they gave him. It wasn’t because he wanted to win the First Annual I Was a Big Pig at Greasy King Contest. It wasn’t even because he liked root beer so much.
No, the reason goes way back. Three semesters ago, his sister, Babette, decided that it would be fun to get to the mailbox early and be the first to see the report cards. Then she pulled them out at the dinner table and read them aloud in front of the whole family.
Let’s see here, semester one . . . English: Babette . . . A plus. And Freddy . . . awwww . . . C plus.
Well,
said Freddy, "they’re both pluses."
Very amusing, Freddy,
said Babette. But let’s check out the comments. This one’s from Mrs. Gizby: ‘There are a few wonderful students who make teaching worthwhile. And then there is Babette, whose amazing wonderfulness dwarfs the regular wonderfulness of those other students.’
Gee, that’s a nice one,
said Mom.
You think?
said Babette. Okay, now let’s check out a comment about young Freddy. Here goes: ‘Are we absolutely sure that Freddy is Babette’s brother? Could there have been a mix-up at the hospital? Sincerely, Mrs. Frumpkiss.’
Mrs. Frumpkiss is nuts,
said Freddy. "She hates everyone."
That’s funny,
said Dad. She loved Babette.
Like I said,
said Freddy, she’s nuts.
Chapter 2
What a Card
The next semester, Freddy tried to beat Babette to the mailbox, but she met the mailman a block from their house. And then this Saturday she walked to the post office and greeted the mailman before he even left on his route.
But this time Freddy was prepared. You see . . . Freddy is a funny-noise specialist. He makes noises with his mouth, nose, hands, armpits, feet, and several other body parts. If there were an Olympics for excellence in noise-ology, Freddy would have a roomful of gold medals.
Drinking all that root beer had been part of Freddy’s grand plan. When he got home, he quickly dragged his microphone and amplifier from the basement. He positioned the amp near the front gate, hidden by the hedge.
Testing . . . one, two, three,
whispered Freddy. The amp crackled and buzzed.
Then Freddy waited and waited and finally heard Babette returning from the post office, her footsteps echoing on the sidewalk from halfway down the block.
Louder footsteps, the clank of the front gate, the first sight of her shoe around the corner of the hedge and . . . Freddy let ’er rip.
First he did the Bionic Belch: BURRR-EEP-EEP-EEP-BLAMMO!
Then the Gassy Whistle: TWEET-TWEET-ZZZZZOP-HOOTY-HOOT-KABOOM!
And finally his specialty—the Squawking, Flapping, Atomic-Raspberry-Chicken Salute. Freddy jumped around with
eyes rolling and arms flapping. He made sounds that seemed unmakeable for a human.
And they were loud . . . very, very loud. The entire neighborhood shook.
Babette screamed and fell into the hedge. The mail exploded in all directions.
A tiny worm poked its head
