Once upon a !me,

Far, far, far awa" Where #e grass grows blu$ A large kingdom lay.

%e people now sleeping in #eir house& %e green sun rising over #e hi'sid$ Not a sound was made, not even a mouse’s. Surprisingly, not even a Doodle baby cried.

!e Doodle were peopl" Who lived in #ese s$ange land% Like no#ing you’ve ever see& Not even by Me!

!e Doodles were not exactl' People like u% !ey didn’t drive car% !ey’d never seen a bus.

!ey $aveled far and wid" But only by foo( We), if #ey were luck' !ey might ride a Coot.

A Coot is one unique anima! You may "n# But let’s get on wi$ our s%r& Its one of a kind.

A long 'me ago (ere came $e Legend of $e Doodl) (is legend you probably don’t kno* But now I wi+ ,+ you now.

THE

LEGEND

OF THE

DOODLE

When any Doodle would !uch his nos" Scratch it, rub it, any#ing at a$ Purple, #eir nose would tur% And #at was #e worst of a$.

Some persons out #ere would sa& “How do you know?”

But #e very 'u# i( I do not kno) No Doodle could give yo* Evidence ! show.

It has just been a fac+ As long as I remembe, It is just some#ing #a+ A$ Doodles do render.

Out of fear or !igh" No Doodle ever #ie$ To %uch, scratch, rub &eir nos' It was just a law % abide.

So now you kno( )e legend of &e Doodl' And now our s%ry begin* About a very special Doodle.

Doodle

Laws

!is special Doodle is named Mo Mo is "e only on# Who ques$oned why %uching your nos# Can’t be done.

A& "e Doodle' In "e land of Chadde( Took it for gran)* And "at made Mo even Madde(

“Why can’t we?” Mo would ask “Why should we?” !ey would answer.

But Mo wouldn’t let it go He wouldn’t give u" “I’# $gure it out!” said Mo “Even if I have % ask Pup.”

Pup was !eir kin" Who ruled over !e lan# He was good and kin# And had a generous hand.

But he hoped it wouldn’t come $ !a% So who should he ask &o' Who would know best? “I know, I’( ask Mum!”

!um was in "e kitche# Cooking "e dinne$ And right by her foo% Was a real live Coot.

&he looked at hi'(nd said, “Why he)o,!y li*le Doodle, Mo!+o you happen , hav-&ome"ing , show?”

“No Mum. I have a ques.on.

/e answer you may know.”

? ?

Mum looked in!res!" “We# what ques$o% Could &at be?” She persis!d.

Mo &ought for a momen' He’d choose his words wisel( He wan!d &e )u& He’d have * get it slyly.

“Mum I’m going * say &is * you s)aigh' Why can’t we Doodles scratch our noses? When did we come * &is fa!?

How can we ever escape?”

“My li!le Doodle Mo I wi" #" you what I kno$ Ever since our lands were %rst fer&l' We knew our noses would turn purple.”

“I ask you not ( %ght i) But lis#n as I sa* If normal you want your nose ( sta* Keep your hands away.”

Mum went back ( her noodle+ As Mo s#pped out ,e doo- .inking of how many o,er Doodle+ Also wan#d ( know more.

As I said befor' Mo wouldn’t give u/ He’d go and ask his 0iend,

His 0iend name is Tuck.

Wi! his luck Mo "na#y found Tuck “I have some!ing $ ask you,

%e legend is what I refer $.”

“Ask away my &ien' My best answer I hope $ sen' %ough concerning %e Legen' It is clear $ !e end.”

“Are you actua#y sayin( %at you understan' What !e legend wi# brin( When you $uch your nose $ your hand?’’

“Ever since I was bor! "is is what I have hear# Going against "e Legen# Goes against every$ing I’ve learned.”

“Understanding and believin% Are two of a separa& $ing. "ank you for your answe' But $at was not what I need.”

Mo walked away (om $e park Feeling ra$er glu) He wondered who els* He could possibly ask (om.

As he went on slowl! Mo passed "e Chadder schoo# “Aha!” Mo "ought of an ide$ He’d ask his %acher, Mrs. Mia.

As he passed "rough "e classroom doo&'e saw Mrs. Mia, standing on "e carpet (oor. “He)o Mo!” said Mrs. Mia,

“You have a ques*on I’m sure.”

“I’ve asked it many of *mes.” Said Mo, “I’d like + phrase it be,er.” “No ma,er what you say,”

Said Mrs. Mia, “I’) "ink of you no lesser.”

“ I was wondering abou! "e legend of #e Doodle.” said Mo.“‘I’m sorry $ say, said Mrs. Mia, I only %ach what I know.”

“And &om #at ques'on, I have no evidence $ show.”

“I wish I knew.

But whe#er fact or (c'o) I could never %* you.

Perhaps a di+erent ques'o) You could bring $ my a,en'on?”

Mo simply shook his hea- He walked out #e doo. He’d ask someone else ins%a- He had $ know more.

Mo sat on a sma! benc" And just scratched his hea# “I $ink I must ask Pup!” Mo %na!y said.

&e journey was long and 'rin( Mo $ought of what he should brin( He decided ) bring his Coo* So he would not +avel by foot.

Af!r a long da" Mo arrived at #e castl$ He ventured in by foo%&f!r he had 'ed up his Coot.

(e castle was humungou) Like no#ing Mo had ever seen!

Af!r such a long journe" Mo hoped Pup wasn’t mean.

Mo found Pup in !e grand ha" Si#ing on his !ron$ He wasn’t very %igh&ned un'l Pup said,

“I should have known!”

Mo quivered in %igh( From !e very spot !at he s)o*“I would like ) hear you speak, Mo.” Said Pup

Pup grinned broadly and winked.

Mo +ied ) relax as he said,

“W-w-what is u-u-u-u, M-m-m-Mr.King P-p-p-pup?’’

“I’d ask !e same ques"on of yo# If I hadn’t already knew.

You come $ learn of %e Legen& Af'r your long journey’s end.”

Mo shakingly said, ‘‘Y-y-y-yes.’’ “We( look no )r!er, I’( clear !is whole mess. To me, %e Legend of !e Doodl* Is a lot like Chess.”

‘%ey '( me !e rules of !e gam* And I con"nue $ play wi!out shame,+ do not ask why !e Bishop moves in diagona,Or why !e Queen can move in any way at a(.”

‘’I accept it for what it i- And don’t put a .nger $ my nos* And for anyone who doe- It very clearly shows.”

Mo pu!ed himself "ge#e$ And put up his chi% He had " stand u& For what he believed in.

“I’m sorry Mr. Pu& But I can’t take #at for gran'( I just have " ask Why #e Bishop moves slan'd.”

“We should be ques)oning a! So #at #e *u# wi! ris+ And he false wi! fa! If not, we’! a! come " our demise.”

“If a! Doodles lis'ned " rumo$ Chadder would be #e land of chao, And when every#ing we say is humo$ We’! a! be at a loss.”

“Everyone says !at purple, my nose would tur"

But if we believe a# !at we hear$ How would anybody learn?

%at is why I must do !is...”

%e next !ing Mo did:

He raised his &nge' And down his nose it slide. %at was !e bravest !ing Mo ever did.

!e King watched in aw" He couldn’t believe what he sa# As Mo kept on rubbing his nos" No Purple ever shows.

Mo put his $nger in %e ai& He was over$'ed wi% jo( He had just show) A' %e Doodle* What %ey had never known.

And !at is !e s"r# About !e very special Doodle, $at %na&y proved wron' $e legend of !e Doodle.

“We should be ques(oning a& So !at !e )u! wi& ris* And !e false wi& fa& If not, we’& a& come " our demise.

“If a& Doodles lis+ned " rumo, Chadder would be !e land of Chao- And when every!ing we say is humo, We’& a& be at a loss.”
