Ned Who Walks on Lemons

Once there was a guy named Ned.  Ned loved to walk on lemons,
because he liked his feet sour.  Well, one day he was walking on a
lemon and he realized it was an orange.

"This is not right!" Ned exclaimed.  "I want my money back."

So he set out to find the farmer responsible for planting the orange
tree.  Obviously the platypus who planted it planted it right in the
middle of the lemon field so no one would see the difference.

Away Ned started, from his house, accompanied by his mouse
named Mango.

On their way to the lemon field Mango saw a mysterious looking
orb in the sky and wanted to explore it.

"No," Ned said, "that's the sun."

Then Mango found a little seed bead on the ground and picked it
up and put it on her finger for a nice ring.  It looked stunning with
her coat that day.

Still on their journey they became bored and started singing the
national anthem of Peru.  Ned stopped when he noticed a rock
moving slowly to the side.  After he shut Mango up it stopped
moving.

So then they stood there singing their foreign song, watching the
boulder shift.  Behind it was a portal.

Mango and Ned entered but in the middle of it there was a frog.

"Only those with a magical bead may go through to the other
side," said the yellow amphibian.

"Well, let's go back," Ned said.

"No, I have a bead and it might be magical," Mango opposed.  
They tested it for magical elements and it failed.

"That's okay," said the frog.  "No one ever goes through here
anyway, and it gets really lonely here."

"Wait just there," said Mango.  She was gone for about 15 minutes.  
She returned with a blue frog.  A blue female frog.

"Wow," said the yellow frog.  "Now I have a playmate and when
we grow up we can have little green frogs!"

Ned and Mango exited the portal.

In front of them was a large field of vines with lemons on them.  
Mango and Ned searched all around, but found no oranges.

So they traveled back home.

"Ned?" said Mango.

"Yeah?" Ned responded.

"I was the one that put the orange into your lemon stash," Mango
confessed, "as a practical joke."

The End!
