An IncrediBull Guess
The world can be full of heroes, even in a peaceful paradise like Bermooda. Sometimes a hero is just a simple creature with a good heart. Sometimes a hero is just someone who shows up in the right place at the right time. And sometimes the hero has no idea who they are or what they are doing.
Chuck and Dakota Porter wouldn’t really call themselves heroes. Chuck was just a little calf with a big thirst for excitement. Dakota was just a hu’man boy who wanted a quiet life with his adopted new family. Together, they always seemed to find adventure on this tiny tropical island, no matter how calm things appeared to be on the surface. Today, however, Chuck and Dakota were sitting in one place on Bermooda that was not calm: Leatherneck’s Grill.
Leatherneck was a big hulk of a bull with a jolly voice, a gold ring in his nose, and a bold red shirt that was big enough to use as a blanket. His outdoor café sat at the edge of Bermooda Village, and it was always a popular place for calves to feast on grilled pineapple or slurp down fresh mango juice. But today his place was even busier than usual, with excited calves swarming around his bamboo counter like hungry ants on a drop of tropical cane sugar. Today, at exactly noon, Leatherneck would announce the winner of his IncrediBull Guessing Contest.
Leatherneck had started the contest to sell his new drink, the Avocadoberry Smoothie Punch. At the beginning of the month, he had filled a big jar with avocado seeds and placed it on the counter. Any time someone bought one of his new smoothies, they were allowed to guess how many seeds were in the jar by writing down their number on a big yellow ticket and putting it in a box. At the end of the month, whoever had the closest guess would win the chance to meet Norman Redmane—the creator of every calf’s favorite superhero, IncrediBull.
Chuck and Dakota Porter sat at the table closest to the guessing jar. Chuck was a huge fan of IncrediBull, and a chance to meet the artist would be like a dream come true. He had tried all kinds of ideas to find the closest guess. He had used math equations. He had weighed the jar. He had even surveyed other cows to see how many seeds they thought were in there. Today he was busily crumbling up leaves into little balls the same size as avocado seeds and dropping them into a wicker basket about the same size as the guessing jar. His tail twitched as he counted each ball, convinced this was one of his best ideas ever.
Do you know how many smoothie punches you’ve bought this month?
Dakota asked as he sipped on Chuck’s drink. Chuck wanted to put as many tickets as he could in the box, so he had bought Avocadoberry Smoothie Punches all month long.
Nope,
Chuck said without taking his eyes off his work. I lost count.
"Over six dozen!" Dakota said, answering his own question.
Chuck paid little attention to Dakota. Noon was coming fast, and he wasn’t finished counting all his fake avocado seeds yet.
Is it really worth all this effort?
Dakota asked between slurps.
Chuck’s tail stopped twitching. He froze mid-count and looked up. "Of course it’s worth it! he said.
Norman Redmane isn’t just any artist. He’s the creator of IncrediBull! He pointed to the picture behind Leatherneck’s guessing jar. It was a drawing of a red bull in a bright yellow superhero costume. He wore a masked hood with a long cape, and his chest sported a logo in the shape of a cow head with a lightning bolt in it. The fiery supercow was swinging a fisted hoof into the air, and from his mouth came a word bubble that read:
Leatherneck’s Smooooothies give me a PUNCH!"
Yeah, I know.
Dakota sighed. I just don’t see the big deal with IncrediBull. I mean, look at that ridiculous costume! It doesn’t exactly look like something you’d find on Bermooda.
Neither do you,
Chuck reminded Dakota. And his costume isn’t any more ridiculous than yours.
Dakota couldn’t help but agree. After all, he was the only hu’man to have ever been on Bermooda. The walking, talking animals that lived on the island all seemed to agree that hu’mans were legendary monsters that had died out years ago. When Chuck first found Dakota washed up on a sandbar, he’d disguised Dakota in cowmouflage—a cow costume stitched together from blankets, sponges, and coconut shells. To keep panic from gripping the island, Dakota had continued to wear the ugly disguise ever since.
All right, little partners!
Leatherneck’s cheerful voice boomed. Thirty seconds until noon! Twenty-nine! Twenty-eight!
Wait!
Chuck cried, quickly turning back to his basket. I’m not finished yet!
But in his hurry to finish counting, he accidentally knocked over the basket and scattered leaves everywhere.
Oh noooooo!
Chuck mooed. He got down on all fours and grabbed frantically at the wadded leaves, which were already starting to swirl away in
