Ernie the Elephant woke up one morning with a tickle in his nose. Uh ah, at you. Ernie sneezed and his trunk blasted his blankets off his bed and across the room. Don't feel so good, mumbled Ernie. He wiped his trunk and trudged to the kitchen to make himself some morning tea. Ernie opened the tin where he kept his tea leaves. Oh, sniffled Ernie. He tipped the tin upside down. Not a single tea leaf came out. Okay, well, how about the hot water with levetead honey. Ernie was trying to be positive, like he always was. He opened his honey jar on the counter and saw one drop left. That would be enough. I guess I have to go to the store. Ernie dragged himself out the door and headed into town. On the sidewalk, Ernie smelled the blooming flowers. The pollen tickled his already ticklish nose. Uh ah, show the flower petals blasted off their stems and flew through the air. Oh there, muttered to Ernie. He added flowers to his list of items to buy at the store. His nose began to feel stuffy and runny. As he reached downtown, Ernie the elephant passed by busy shops on the busy streets on his way to the grocery store. He sniffled and held his trunk up, trying not to dribble on anyone else passing by. Gross, Can you imagine having elephant boogers? Dribbled on you no way, not for me. Ernie's friends Easton and Everson were outside the grocery store and saw him walking their way. Oh, by, Ernie doesn't look so good, said Easton. Everson nodded in agreement. Yes, he looks like he has a cold or something. Whoy Ernie Everson waved to the elephant. Ernie saw his friends up ahead, but before he could wave back or say hi, his friend Robbie, the robin fluttered down onto his trunk. Oh hello, Ernie, Oh oh, you look terrible today, Robbie commented. Robbie fluttered his feathers and Ernie shuddered at the way they tickled his trunk. Robbie, please, my trunk is so tickle itch. But Robbie didn't hear him. What are you doing in town today? Do you want to go to the park, asked Robbie. A breeze blue and ruffled robin feathers again, making them tickle Ernie's trunk even more. Hebby bees the tickles. Ernie sniffled, what's that, Eddie, Your nose has a tickle hare. Let me get that for you. Robbie began to scratch Ernie's trunk with his feathers. No ah ah, Ernie tried his best to hold in his sneeze, but it was no use. It was just growing larger and more powerful the longer he tried shap, ernie stuffy nose blasted out the most powerful, sticky sneeze anyone had ever seen. It sprayed all over the sidewalk. Oh, the nearby trees, the storefronts, and oh my covered his friends Easton and Everson, who were still standing up ahead on the sidewalk. Oh. No, Ernie fretted, looking around at the sticky, goopy mess his sneeze had caused. Robbie flew back down from the tree he had been launched into. It's okay, Ernie, I'll go get help and off his bird friend flew to get the rescue team. As Easton and Everson waited for the rescue team, they tried to move. Ugh. Look, this stuff is like hot glue. I'm stuck, Easton said, trying to pull his feet free from the snotty mess. Ugh he too, said Everson. Then he looked at Ernie, whose ears were dropping in embarrassment. Head's okay, Ernie, nothing bath can fix, Everson said, trying to make him feel better. He looked up at the trees, where the leaves looked like they were oh dear frozen. Halfway through a powerful wind gust. The siren of a fire truck grew louder as it came into view. The people stuck to the sidewalk cheered in response. Okay, everyone, hold on tight, announced the fire crew. Some were holding hoses while others loosened the fire hydrants. Water sprayed from all around, washing away the goopiness that was trapping their feet, the tree branches, and the store front doors. After a few minutes, everyone was soaked, but they were free and happy. Ernie apologized and hurried off home without getting his tea. He didn't want to accidentally sneeze on everyone again. Later that afternoon, a knock sounded on Ernie's door. He answered it and was surprised to see Easton and Everson standing there holding a big box. It's a good will package, explained Easton. We help you feel better, added Everson. Ernie opened it and saw a new box of his face for a tea, a jar of honey, lemons, and tissues. He smiled and then began to sniffle again, itching his nose. Oh well, we'll see you later, kid, will soon, Easton shouted as the two of them ran away from the splash zone. Eh a hey cut egg. Yeah, Ernie released another giant sneeze just as his friends disappeared down the street and out of the splash zone. Wow. That is such a great story to hear about some really great friends. I love hearing that Easton and Everson. They were there for their friend Ernie, even though it was kind of gross when he sneezed everywhere. They still chose to be good friends and got him tea, honey, lemons, and tissues, all things that would help Ernie feel better. That's what it means to be a good friend is helping even when it's hard. So even though this is the end of our story, I want you to think about a friend that you could maybe help even if it's hard. And I hope Ernie gets better soon the end. Great job, you listened all the way to the end, and you know what time it is, It's time for could shout out. So I want to say hey to Sarah from Ontario, Forrest and Eloise from Michigan, Tamoya from Japan, Troy from Virginia, and Lee love from California. I'm so glad that you're all on the Kitchen Stories family. We could not have this much fun with imagination without you, my friends. Well, you have a super or duper day and I'll see you on our next adventure. Bye.
