The Muppets Economical Tale

[LamangoNumber2]

It'd be funny, but some spelling mistakes, like mine...[Yes, I know I have some] take away from the humor. Other than that, some of the randomness is to...random. Bean randomly getting stepped on was out of the blue.

Chapter 6

Bunsen and Beaker were walking up a mountain.

"Meep meep meep meep meep?", asked Beaker.

"Oh, we need to get to the top of this mountain to see the whole area", said Bunsen, "A wide view might give us a good idea of where to look."

"Mee mee mee mee meee", said Beaker.

They got to the very top, but there just happened to be a boulder at the very top, obstructing their view.

"Come on, Beaker", said Bunsen, "We've got to push this thing out of the way."

"Mee mee mee...", said Beaker.

"No 'buts', Beaker", said Bunsen, "Now help me push."

Beaker sighed and reluctantly pushed the boulder, which then fell off the side.

At the very bottom of that area were Fozzie, Gonzo, Rizzo, and Pepe.

"Now, I will go that way, okay", said Pepe, "Ritzo, you go that way, Fozzie, you go..."

They all then noticed the falling boulder, which was right above them.

"Let's all run!", screamed Fozzie.

"I'm with you", said Rizzo.

Fozzie, Pepe, and Rizzo all ran. Gonzo stayed in his spot.

"Now come on", said Gonzo, "A little thing like this isn't so b..."

The boulder then fell right on top of Gonzo, scrunching him.

"Oh, Gonzo", said a concerned Rizzo, "Are you okay?"

The boulder then bounced up, Gonzo formed like a spring.

"That was soooooo cool!", said Gonzo.

AT another area, The Swedish Chef and Gladys were arguing over which way to go.

"Nerr, nerr, neer", said The Swedish Chef, pointing left, "We gy tht wuyy!"

"No, we should go this way!", said Gladys, pointing right.

"Nerr, nerr, tht wuyy!"

"Ohh...", said an annoyed Gladys, "I'll go this way, and you'll go that way!"

Gladys walked away, and the boulder then fell onto the Swedish Chef. Gladys walekd back.

"Hmm", thought Gladys, "Maybe you should come this way as well."

The boulder then bounced up again, and The Swedish Chef, like Gonzo, was shaped like a spring.

"Ohhh, yu miy bee rutgh", said the Swedish Chef.

And in yet another area, The Newsman was searching for the treasure.

"Hmm, maybe I should take a break", said The Newsman, "Since Muppet News isn't cut from next weeks show I should read my script."

The Newsman sat on a rock and looked at his script.

"Here is a Muppet News Flash! A giant boulder has been reported as falling from the sky!"

And inevitably, the boulder fell on The Newsman, and it once again bounced upward as The Newsman was flattened and spring-shapped.

The Newsman groaned and then continued reading, "And next week, I will repeat some of my past news reports..."

And the boulder fell on The Newsman again.

Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem found a long wooden bridge.

"Well, like, we should rully cross this bridge", said Janice.

"I agree, I agree", said Floyd.

"AGREE!", said Animal.

"That's the spirit, Animal", said Dr. Teeth.

"SPIR-IT! SPI-RIT!", shouted Animal.

"Uh, what spirit?", asked Zoot.

They walked across the bridge, but halfway there, Janice stepped on aplank, which broke, and Janice slipepd a bit, but she was able to hold onto the other parts of the bridge.

"Wow, that sure is dangeorus", said Janice.

"I'll help you up", said Floyd, who helped her up, but then the plank Floyd stepped on broke, and Floyd fell. As Floyd was holding onto Janice's hand, she was forced down as well, but her other hand grabbed on to the bridge tightly.

"That's some fine thinking", said Dr. Teeth, "I'll help you."

"HELP! HELP!", shouted Animal, who jumped off the bridge. Floyd was able to catch Animal's chain, leaving Animal hanging with them.

"Oh, no!", thought Dr. Teeth.

Zoot then zoned out and slipped off the bridge, over the rope handle.

"I'll save you!", said Dr. Teeth as he jumped over the rope to save Zoot. He grabbed onto Zoot's leg with oen hand, and onto Animal's leg with his other hand.

"Oh, no!", said Dr. Teeth.

"We're a rock band hanging from a bridge", said Floyd.

"Well, look on the bright side", said Janice, "Wouldn't this make an awesome album cover?"

"AL-BUM COV-ER!", shouted Animal.

Chapter 7

Miss Piggy and Dr. Strangepork went searching inside a dark cave. They both had flashlights with them.

"Oh, yuck", complained Piggy, "This cave is creepy and filthy!"

"I know", said Strangepork, "But the treasure is most likely burried inside here."

"Shouldn't we have brought our shovels?", asked Piggy.

"Of course we should have", said Strangepork, "But they are in the car. That's too far to walk, you know."

"Yeah, tell me about it", remarked Piggy, "This place must be a sbig as Walt Disney World."

Several bats then flew past them.

"Aaaah!", screamed Piggy.

"Caves are full of bats, you know", said Dr. Strangepork.

A couple of alligators then ran past them.

"I suppose caves are full of alligators too", said Piggy.

A group of penguins then surfed by in the mud.

"Now this is getting a bit too veird", said Strangepork.

They then heard some noise.

"Well, it's getting weirder now", said Piggy.

"What is zat?", asked Strangepork.

"It's the parade of unneccessary cameos", said Miss Piggy.

And in the parade marched P.J. and Kai-Lee from the Play-Along Videos, Boo, Tug, and Molly from Little Muppet Monsters, the aliens from the Jonathan Winters episode, The Extremes, Mr. Poodlepants, the Muppets Tonight band, Bill the Bubble Guy, Spamela Hamderson, David Hogsohog, Captain Pighead, and Gary Chuenga.

"That was certainly unneccessary",s aid Dr. Strangepork.

And then, Johnny Fiama and Sal fell on top of Miss Piggy and Dr. Strangepork.

"Oh, we should have watched where we were going", said Sal.

"We should have brought our flashlights, Sal!", said Johnny.

"Will you two get off of me!", complained Piggy.

"Oh, wow", said Sal, "You see, we were on the top floor, without flashlights, and we fell."

"Yeah, I could guess zat", said Dr. Strangepork.

"What were you two running from?", asked Piggy.

"I don't know", said Sal.

"I think it was a big rolling boulder", said Johnny.

And then the boulder fell on them, and then rolled off them.

Sweetums made it to the bridge.

"Oh, a long bridge", said Sweetums, "And it seems kind of hight... But I think I can get past there."

The Electric Mayhem was still hanging.

"I think somebody is walking on the brigdge", said Janice, "I hope that whoever it is doesn't step on my hand, fer sure!"

"Maybe we should yell something at 'em!", said Floyd.

"SOMETHING AT THEM!", yelled Animal.

"I thought I heard something", thought Sweetums, looking around. Sweetums then accidently stepped on Janice's hand. This caused her hand to slip off, but Sweetums quickly jumped down and caught her hand, while Sweetums had his foot between two boards.

"I find it hard to believe that with this many of us hanging that none of us are even touching the ground", said Dr. Teeth.

Chapter 8

Kermit, Rowlf, and Clifford had finaly arrived at the High Granzo Mountains.

"Okay, everybody", said Kermit, "Remember where we parked, and we have only two hours to find everyone or else we'll get a ticket."

"Right", said Rowlf and Clifford.

"Do you think all of the Muppets might have gone looking for treasure?", asked Rowlf.

"Oh, I'm pretty sure that they have", said Kermit.

Back at the theater, Scooter was locked in the prop room.

"Hey, will somebody let me out of here!", shouted Scooter, struggling to open the door, "I'm going to have to tell my uncle who owns the theater that I need my own set of keys."

Back at the mountains...

"Well, we've been walking here for five minutes, and we've still got no sign of them", said Clifford.

"I guess it's good that we didn't get a five minute sign then", laughed Rowlf.

Kermit and Clifford looked blankly at Rowlf.

"I guess it was too bad a pun", said Rowlf.

And then the parade of unneccessary cameos walked by in front of them.

"I can't believe that there is actually a parade at the mountains", said Clifford.

"Well, this place hasn't been declared a national historical landmark", said Rowlf.

"Don't you think it's weird that marching band music is playing, yet none of them are playing instruments?", asked Kermit.

"Let's just le tthe fans nitpick about that", said Rowlf.

"Oh, hi, Clifford", said Bill the Bubble Guy, "Remember me? Bubble scome from my head!"

Bill blew bubbles out of his head.

"Yes, Bill, I remember", said Clifford.

"Hey, keep walking!", said the Muppets Tonight drummer, "You're slowing us down!"

The band marched past them.

"Well, that was certainly unneccessary", said Clifford.

"You know, that was also a missed opportunity", said Rowlf.

"What do you mean?", asked Kermit.

"We could have asked them if they've seen any of our friends", said Rowlf.

Kermit then flipped out.

In the caves...

"Okay, where do we dig?", asked Johnny.

"We'll dig when we find the X", said Dr. Strangepork.

"What if it's not burried under an X?", asked Sal, "It could be burried under an S."

"Will you all just shut up and find the treasure?", said an annoyed Miss Piggy.

Miss Piggy's flashlight batteries then ran out.

"Oh, no", said Miss Piggy, "Strtangepork, I hope your batteries can last long."

"Oh, I'm sure they vill", said Strangepork, "They are energizer!"

But then his flashlight stopped.

"Uh-oh!", said Strangepork.

They all then kept bumping into each other.

"Watch it, Strangepork!", yelled Piggy.

"I'm Johnny Fiama", said Johnny.

"Oh", said Piggy.

"Actually, that was me who bumped into you", said Sal, "And piggy bumped into me."

They all then walked into a "wall".

"Who was zat?", asked Strangepork.

"Do you think the fans are really big fans of dark jokes?", asked Sal.

"Well, maybe dark humor", said Johnny.

They all then suddenly fell into a hole.

"Ow!", said Miss Piggy.

"I wonder where we are", said Johnny.

Suddenly, Dr. Strangepork's flashlight came back on.

"Well, what do you know", said Strangepork, "The batteries must have been in a coma."

"Well, let's get out of here", said Johny, "I'm too talented to die."

Several rocks then fell down, blocking them from getting out.

"Vell, looks like we're trapped in a cave-in", said Strangepork.

"I'll take care of this", said Piggy, who karate chopped the rocks that were in the way, but that nly caused minor splitting.

"Hmm, didn't work", said Johnny.

Miss Piggy then karate-chopped Johnny.

"Ouch!", said Johnny, "This sure hurts. Hey, let's jus tcut away to a scene with The Electric Mayhem."

At the bridge, the mayhem and Sweetums were still hanging.

"Hey, I've got an idea", said Dr. Teeth, "Zoot, wake up!"

"Wha... what?", asked Zoot.

"Zoot, see if you can climb up us", said Dr. Teeth.

"Oh, oh", said Zoot, who started climbing up Dr. Teeth, then Animal, then Floyd.

"He's doing it", said Dr. Teeth.

"Yeah, man", said Floyd, "We should be out of..."

But then Floyd slipped. He grabbed onto Zoot's leg, while Zoot grabbed onto Janice's leg.

"OH", said Zoot, "So that's what it looks like under your skirt!"

"Like, why don't you just zone out, Zoot?", asked Janice.

 

[minor muppetz]

Chapter 9

Kermit, Clifford, and Rowlf soon found The Swedish Chef and Gladys.

"Oh, there you two are", said Kermit, "Have either of you seen any of the others?"

"Nuh nuh nuh", siad the Swedish Chef, shaking his head.

"We haven't found the treasure, either", said Gladys.

"There is no treasure!", said Kermit, "That info came from a rumors book!"

"Yeah", said Gladys, "But a very good rumors book!"

"Oh, good grief", said Kermit.

"Hey, did ya ever get the feeling that we were shrinking?", asked Kermit.

"You know", said Kermit, "Suddenly I do."

"Und I thyntg I nooooo weyyy", said The Swedish Chef, who then pointed down, revealing that they were sinking in quick sand.

"Oh, no...", said Rowlf.

"QUICK SAND!", shouted them all.

Meanwhile, Miss Piggy and her group were tring to pick rocks out from the cave-in, with hardly any luck.

"Man, these rocks are heavy", said Miss Piggy.

"But not as heavy as Miss Piggy", whispered Sal to Johnny. The two made a brief chuckle.

"I estimate zat it'll take us hours to get all these rocks out of here", said Dr. Strangepork, "Assuming that there's room in this part of the hole for all the rocks."

"Man, this must be the most depressing scene in the whole fan fic", said Johnny.

"Even that scene where you had to go shopping at the dollar store due to the economy?", asked Sal.

"Shh, Sal", said Johnny, "That scene was cut so I wouldn't be embarrassed, remember?"

"Oh, yeah", said Sal.

"Vell", since Dr. Strangepork, "Since this scene seems to be going nowhere and wasn't deleted..."

"Unlike Johnny's dollar store scene", said Sal, "Which, I should add, had very crucial plot points..."

"Let's not finish either sentence", said Miss Piggy.

"Vell, I was going to say that since this scene is going nowhere, with no good pay-off, let's cut to a scene with Fozzie and the gang", said Dr. Strangepork.

Fozzie, Gonzo, Rizzo, and Pepe were all digging small holes.

"Well, there's no treasure here", said Pepe, after digging only three feet deep, "I'll dig another hole."

"Me, too", said Fozzie.

"I've just got to find that treasure", said Rizzo, "I've got to support a starving family."

"Yeah, right, okay", said Pepe, "You betrayed your family for a cheese sandwhich."

"Yuck!", said Fozzie, "Not while I'm thinking about eating."

"Oh, then I'll have it", said Gonzo.

Just then, they all heard something rolling.

"Hey, does everybody hear that?", asked Gonzo.

"Of course we do", said Rizzo, "The only ones not hearing it are the deaf and our readers."

It came closer. it was the boulder, rolling down their area.

"Duck, everybody!", yelled Fozzie.

Everybody ducked into their holes, and the boulder rolled by, missing them. "Hmm", thought Pepe, "I wonder if that boulder might know where the treasure is, okay!"

"Let's follow it!", said Gonzo.

They all went in the direction the boulder went.

The boulder went out through the cave opening, and onto the bridge.

"Like, uh-oh!", said Janice, "I think I hear somethign coming!"

"I hope it doesn't run over me", said Sweetums.

"It sounds like it's coming closer", said Floyd.

"Oh, what do we do?", asked Janice.

"We could SING!", shouted Animal.

"Not now, Animal!", shouted Dr. Teeth.

But then the boudler stoped rolling. Fozzie and his group walked to the bridge, only to see it in the way.

"So, can you tell us how to get to the treasure, okay?", asked Pepe.

They waited a few seconds.

"It's not answering, okay!", said Pepe.

"You know, Mr. Rock", said Gonzo, "You are in our way!"

Bunsen and Beaker entered the other end of the bridge.

"Well, look, Beaker", said Bunsen, "There's that boulder that we pushed off the mountain earlier."

"Meep meep meep", said Beaker.

"So what if our recapping is beating a dead horse?", asked Bunsen.

Beaker sighed.

The boulder then fell throuhg the boards it was on, and hit the ground.

"Wow", said Dr. Teeth, "That was a pretty gruesome fall!"

Everybody on (and hanging from) the bridge then saw a small plane flying towards them in the distance.

"Hey, look", said Fozzie, "A plane."

"Yeah, we know", said Rizzo.

Lips was flying the plane, and he flew the plane underneath the bridge.

"Grab on!", shouted Lips.

Dr. Teeth grabbed ontoo the back of the plane, and the rest of the band went flying onto it. As Sweetums had his leg stuck on the bridge, the bridge was pulled off with the band and the plane. Everybody on the bridge quickly held onto their ends.


"Oh, wow!", said Gonzo, "This is SO COOL!"

"I think I'm going to be sick", said Rizzo.

"See, guys", said Janice, "Accidently leaving Lips behind wasn't a total loss, fer sure!''

"Mee meee meep me meep mee!", shouted Beaker.

"Oh, I hope he lands the plane soon", said Fozzie.

"How soon?", asked Gonzo.

"Oh, just plain soon", said Fozzie, "Get it? Plane soon? Wocka wocka!"

Chapter 10

Kermit, Rowlf, Clifford, Gladys, and The Swedish Chef were sinking deeper into the quicksand.

"We really need to think of a way out of here", said Kermit.

"This quicksand doesn't really go very quick", said Rowlf.

Then they started sinking a bit faster.

"You had to say something, didn't you?", asked Clifford.

"Oh, my good apron is ruined!", said Gladys.

"Gude aprym my hawtzzx", said The Swedish Chef.

The Newsman then go near them.

"Hey, I see the Newsman!", said Rowlf, "Hey, Newsman! Over here!"

"Oh, have you found the treasure?", asked The Newsman.

"There is no treasure!", shouted an annoyed Kermit, "We are sinking in quicksand."

The Newsman stopped walking.

"Oh, I don't want to get trapped in quicksand", said The Newsman.

"Well, can you help us out?", asked Gladys.

"We already are out", laughed The Newsman, "But I have a long rope that I can help you all with."

"Oh, good", said Kermit.

The Newsman got out his long rope, but then a thought crossed his mind.

"Hmmm... So I guess you need me in order to get out of there!"

"Yes, we do!", said Kermit, "Now help us!"

"First, I want you to promise to give me a raise!", said The Newsman.

"I can't afford it!", said Kermit.

"It's either that or we sink", said Clifford.

"Not neccessarily", said Gladys, "Why don't you let all of us out for free, and then let the frog out if he promises..."

"GLADYS!", shouted an annoyed Kermit.

"Look, I've got a contract and a pen on me", said The Newsman, tossing them to Kermit, "Just sign it!"

"You just happened to have these with you?", asked The Newsman.

"Yeah, I learn from MacGuyver", said The Newsman, "Who, I might add, should be a guest star."

"Well, he would be useful for this story", said Rowlf.

"I'll tell you what", said Kermit as he sunk deeper, "I'll give you a raise whent eh economy gets a lot better."

"Deal", said The Newsman.

Then the rest of the gang (minus those trapped in the cave-in) showed up.

"Hey, did we miss anything?", asked Fozzie.

"Did anyone find the treasure, okay", said Pepe.

"We're sinking!", shouted Kermit, "Get us out of here!"

"Oh, okay", said Sweetums, gettign out a long pole.

"But wait", said The Newsman, "You don't underst..."

Sweetums accidently knocked over the Newsman and moved the pole towards the others. Kermit grabbed onto the pole, and the others grabbed onto Kermit and each other, and they got out.

"We're sabed!", said Rowlf.

"How about that?", said Floyd.

"You ruined it for me", said The Newsman, "I was this close to getting a raise!"

"You should have said something, okay!", said Pepe, "We all could have gotten raises!"

 

[minor muppetz]

Chapter 11

Kermit looked at the group.

"Well, I don't see Miss Piggy", said Kermit, "and I know she said she was going looking for treasure. I think we should at least look for her."

Everyone groaned.

"We'll split up", said Kermit.

"Oh, yeah!", said Pepe, "Some of us can look for Piggy, and the others can look for the treasure, okay!"

Kermit snapped.

"THERE IS NO TREASURE!", yelled Kermit.

"But the book said...", said Fozzie.

"That was a rumor book. A RUMOR book", said Kermit, "And Mr. Scribbler himself admitted that the treasure is not real!"

"And besides", said Clifford, "The book said that there may or may not be a treasure here, it didn't say that there is one."

"Oh", said Fozzie in shame, taking off his hat and putting his face in it.

"Well, we can split up to look for the porker!", laughed Floyd.

Everyone else chuckled along.

"I'll go with whatever group The Electric Mayhem goes with", said Rowlf.

"Me too!", said Clifford.

"I'll go with you, Kermit", said Gonzo.

"Me, too", said Fozzie.

"Me, three!", said Rizzo.

"Me four, okay!", said Pepe.

"me five", said Gladys.

"Me, six!", said Sweetums.

"Enough! Enough!", shouted Kermit, "There's no need to drag down this gag or beat a dead horse!"

"I'll say there's no need to beat a dead horse", said a severly beaten horse, soundign very... Horse.

 

[minor muppetz]

Chapter 12

Down in the cave-in...

"Well, let's face it", said Johnny Fiama, "We're going to starve down here."

"No, we can't!", said Sal, "I CAN'T starve!"

"I feel like I'm weakening", said Miss Piggy, "And we haven't even found the treasure!"

One of the groups was looking for Piggy on the outside.

"Piggy! Piggy!", shouted Dr. Teeth.

"It shouldnb't be this hard to find miss porker", laughed Floyd, "She's so large that if she's around,w e caan't possibly missed it!"

The others laughed.

"Fer sure!", said Janice.

"Well, Beaker, doo you have any ideas?", asked Bunsen.

"Meep meep meep meep", said Beaker.

"Hmm", said Bunsen, "Maybe you're right."

Kermit's group had decided to go inside a cave to look for Piggy.

"This is such a nice cave", said Gonzo.

"Maybe there is some food in here", said Rizzo.

"So, do you think it's true that the book was wrong?", asked Fozzie.

Kermit was getting annoyed.

"For the twelth time, Fozzie, it's JUST A RUMOR BOOK!", shouted Kermit.

"Oh, just checking", said Fozzie.

"And I suppose you'll check again in 12 minutes", said Kermit.

Dr. Phil van Neuter then popped up from out of nowhere.

"A-E-I-O-U!", shouted Phil, "Scarred ya, didn't I?"

"Uh, yesh you did", said Kermit, startled.

Mulch then popped up and told Dr. Phil something.

"Oh, you're right!", said Dr. Phil van Neuter.

"You know, I didn't know you were here", said Gonzo.

"Well, I decided to look for..."

"The treasure?", asked Kermit, "Because it's just a rumor."

"Really?", asked Fozzie.

"Hey, that was supposed to be my line!", shouted Phil, banging his fist on a rock.

Mulch laughed.

"Well, you might as well help us find Miss Piggy", said Sweetums.

"Yeah, that hog weighs more than the treasure, okay", said Pepe.
"Okay!", said Seymour, popping up suddenly.

"Aaah!", shouted a startled Pepe, "Another unneccessary cameo, okay?"

"Oh, I thouhgt I'd see what you were doing", said Seymour.

"I think I'm going to have a heart attack, okay", said Pepe.

"Well, I think you'd need to have a heart first, Pepe", said Kermit.

 

[minor muppetz]

CHapter 13

The outside group was exxploring.

"Hmm, it's a shame that the treasure doesn't really exist", said Floyd, "It's also a shame that Miss Piggy is lost... I don't enjoy loking for the hog!"

"Rully", said Janice.

"Come on, Beaker", said Bunsen, "Watch your step!"

"Mee mee meep meep", said Beaker.

"Hun-GRY!", growled Animal.

"Chill up, Animal", said Clifford, "Why don't you have yourself a rock?"

Animal took a rock and then ate it.

"Ew, gross", observed The Newsman, "I'm glad that I already had my lunch."

Meanwhile, Kermit's group had searched far into the cave.

"PIGGY! PIGGY!", shouted Kermit, his loud call causing small rocks to fall.

"I think you should stop yelling, okay", said Pepe.

"Well, I think you should stop stating the obvious", said Fozzie, "Wocka wocka!"

But then Kermit stepped into a pile of rocks on a ditch... and suddenly Kermit fell through the rocks, into the cave-in.

"Kermie!", shouted Miss Piggy, "Vous have rescued moi!"

"Yeah, I rescued you",s aid Kermit.

"Let's get out of here", said Sal.

"Oh, you can say that again", said Johnny.

"Okay", said Sal, "Let's get out of here."

And with the rocks out of the way, they all climbed out.

"Vell, back to safety!", said Dr. Strangepork.

"Now we can find the treasure!", said Johnny Fiama.

Everybody started getting excited.

"Wait, hold it, STOP!", yelled Kermit, "Ther eis no treasure! It was all just a rumor. It was all just a myth, a myth! And please don't say 'yeth'! It's all a fairy tale, a greek myth, a tabloid scam..."

"Whoa, chill out", said Miss Piggy, "I think this treasur eis making you overreact."

"Well, it's either that", said Gonzo, "Or the fact that the treasur eis not real."

Everybody agreed, and they all left.

"Let's just find the other group and go home", sighed Rizzo.

However, behidn the cave wall behind them was a cave room filled with the treasur ethat they had all heard about. Statler and Waldorf were in that room as well.

"Well, we found the legendary treasure!", said Statler, ""We're rich!"

"Yayyyyy!", yelled Waldorf, "But.. Uh, do you think we should use this treasure for good?"

"How so?"", asked Statler.

"Well, we could help the Muppets out of their financia economic problems."

They thought for a few seconds, and then...

"Nah!"

"We'll just keep this a secret", said Statler, "And take it to the grave with us."

"That shouldn't be long", laughed Waldorf.

 

[minor muppetz]

Chapter 14

The gang was back at the theater, in time for a new show.

"Well", sighed Kermit, "We may not have a big budget, but we are able to put on a show."

"Hmm", said Sam "One worthy of the first season."

"Vell, I'm glad that Pigs in Space is not in any danger", said Dr. Strangepork.

"Yeah, I can't wait to go on", said Link, who wasn't paying attention and ran into a wall.

"Hey, Kermit!", said Scooter, "You'll never beleive this, but I was going through the ticket sales, and we've actually made more money than we have in the last five months!"

"That's great!", said Kermit, "We can use the money to keep everybody employed at a steady rate, put on a big Jim Henson Hour tribute, book guest stars again..."

"And you can thank me, okay", siad Ppee.

"Why?", asked Kermit.

"Because I put up advertisements that I would be performing a live opera concert, and added 20 dollars to the ticket price, okay!"

"But that's dishonest", said Kermit, "I'll have to go out and explain to the audience."

"But...", said Pepe, who couldn't get any more out of his mouth.

"I'm sorry, folks", said Kermit, "But we have amisunderstanding. Pepe will not be performing a full opera concert tonight...."

"WHAT?", said an outraged member of the audience.

"I payed 20 dollars extra to see Pepe sing opera, and now he's not doing it?"

"I hope there's a refund policy!"

Audience members strated throwing thigns at Kermit and booing him off-stage, and many left the theater.

"Uh, Pepe...", said Kermit, "I think I'll let you be the patient in Vets Hospital."

"Why not just give me a full concert, okay?", asked Kermit.

"Because we sold all the opera costumes and set pieces", said Kermit.

Meanwhile, a mysterious man dresssed in a trench coat, sunglasses, and a fedora hat came to the lobby.

"Who are you?", asked Pops.

"I am an anonymous donor", said the man, "And I would like to donate this bag of money to the theater."

"Oh, thanks",s aid Pops, who took the money and ran upstairs. As Pops left, the mysterious man faded away.

"Hey, Kermit!", said Pops, "An anonymous donor has donated a big bag of money to the theater!"

"Oh, great!", said Kermit, who took the bag and looked in it, "There must be a lot of money... Maybe even too much for me to count."

Kermit started to leave the theater.

"Where are vous going?", asked Piggy.

"To get it counted", said Kermit, "There's only one person I know who' be willing to count this much money. Pepe, you can have an operatic concert right now."

"Yes, okay!", said Pepe, who ran on-stage.

"But...", said Miss Piggy, "That means moi's number is canceled, as well as Vets Hospital and Pigs in Space... That frog sure is going to get it when he comes back!"

Kermit came back after it was all counted.

"I've got good n---"

Miss Piggy quickly karate-chopped Kermit, sending him flying towards the wall.

"--ews..."

Kermit got up, almost everybody got near Kermit.

"Well, we've been donated seventy-five trillion and two dollars!", said Kermit, "The theater is saved!"

"YaaaaaayyyyyY!", shouted everybody.

"Everything will get back to normal", said Kermit.
