Charlie Chocolate's Life Takes A Right Big Twist

Charlie Chocolate's Life Takes A Right Big Twist

Once upon a time in a huge metropolis called Danville, Va. there lived a man named Charley Chocolate. That was really his nick- name because he was so addicted to any kind of food which had some chocolate in it. His main problem was that he had a really major sweet-tooth. He had asked his dentist, named Dr. Teeth, to pull that dog-gone thing. The problem was all the insurance he could afford would only pay for certain dentists, and Dr. Teeth just happened to be a Muppet. Yet Charley was a begger which meant he couldn't be choosy. Another problem he had was being only 4 foot 8 which meant he was short. He was also really short in the moolah-department as well, and he hated not being tall liker like all of his fellow medical friends. He also loved shooting baskets. Since he was so much shorter then any of the other guys who went there to shoot, he got many cracks such as, "How's the weather down there?" "Have you caught any knees in the chin lately?" "The song goes, 'Don't ant no short people round here." "You'd better watch out for all those dachshund puppies who are German sausage dogs cause you might have one step over your head and you wouldn't even know it." Plus a lot of other durogatory remarks such as those which were always followed by a great deal of laughter geared towards him. He would always laugh with the bad-guys who were teasing him so bruitiilly, but inside he had a really huge heart, and it hurt when it got broken. He also had toes that felt a great deal of pain each time they got stepped on by those mean people's teasing him all the time. That would always make him break down sobbing bitterly once his mom would come to pick him up from school. She tried to comfort him by saying things such as, "You know they are just jealous of you because they can't do stuff like get under low-hanging things without them bending over. They're all just wishing they were shorter so that they could do stuff like that the way you can, honey, so just don't pay them any mind, and don't pay them any mind, and don't pay them any green-backs either if they offer you some grow-tall medicine."

That would make him smile, but the moment he left her, he would get upset all over again. There was nothing worse then being short. His daddy also showed him some old games on t v with players like Spud Webb and Mugzy Boag who were only a little bit over 5 feet-tall who'd done things like winning The Slam-Dunk Contest over some guys who were 7 feet tall. That really did inspire him quite a lot.

Finally he turned to the Lord since there was nowhere else to go. "Father," he prayed, "I know You've created me the way I am for a reason. Why, is beyond me, and I might never understand it till I get to Glory, but please, Lord, now please if You won't let me grow any taller, at least improve my playing ability. That would be ever so important to me. I thank You that it's done in Jesus's mighty Name."

When he woke up the next morning, he was upset that he was the same way he was when he prayed for his height to increase and since it was Saturday, he went out to begin his normal shoot-around in his driveway. The difference was when he ran in for a lay-up, he jumped up even with the goal, so he dunked the ball. Now, he'd never done that before, but it felt fantastic. He did it again and again, every time jumping up to the rim and then slam-dunked the ball. He didn't tell anybody about his ability, although he asked his high-school basketball coach to give him a chance. Naturally, he said, "No," but Charlie was so insistent, he finally gave in and let him play with the guys who were all at least 8 inches taller then he was. Yet when all of the greatest guys were guarded and the shot-clock was running down, he was open, of course. Only that time when the ball was thrown to him, he showed-off his jumping ability by getting up even with the net and slamming it through. The coach put him on the team as a center. The first game, all of the faculty were ready to fire him. Then they saw how high Charlie jumped so they each changed their minds. Later word got out to some N. B. A. coach who was starting a new team called The Danville Kangaroos. Everybody laughed at Charlie. Then they saw his amazing ability and changed their tune since they had been singing, "Take Me Out To The Ball Game," because it was then they saw what an awesome, "shooter" he was, and he didn't even own a gun. He also liked playing zone defense because he could stay around the other team's goal. Any time they would shoot the ball, he jumped up and grabbed it in the air. Even his free-throw shooting was spot-on, he remained perfect. One time he was feeling confident about his ability when he got to the line, he was showing off his great ball-handling skills by twirling it on his finger and then passing it between his legs and over his back. That made all the fans who were pulling for his team cheer, but the opposite team's players fussed, "Shoot the ball!" That's when Charlie said, "Alright! Bang!" then turned around and bounced it between his legs, and the ball went, "Swish," which is the most beautiful music any free-throw shooter could ever hope to hear.

Charlie went to play for The Denver Nuggets as center. He was the n. v. p. of the whole league that year. Since he was just 14 years-old, he was also the youngest player ever to play the game and broke the slam-dunk record his rookie year. Later he got fancy and was able to win every Horse game, playing with the top professionals in the game. Then to make the game last longer, they had to add on to it and make it become Caterpillar, and he still won every time. After that, he shattered Pistol-Pete Marivitch's, Michel Jordan's and Wilt-The-Stilt Chamberlain's records. He did all that while he was just 14 years-old. Needless to say, he had no trouble getting girls to go out with him. Later he met Miss Right, who turned out to be an author so she was really, "Miss, 'Write, ' " in every sense of the word. They dated a while then got married. On the following year they were blessed with a visit from the stork who brought them a pair of mixed-twins which meant they each had their own same-sex child to teach things to about life. Both of them grew up being really successful like their parents, as did their children, grandchildren and further generations. This story has been completed with a great twist, just like Chubby Checker's dance. So anyway, like the best-written children's stories of all-time will officially finish up with,
