Benny: The Candy-Filled Banana
Author: martin160998
Benny stretched his peel, a tiny banana yawn escaping his painted smile. Sunlight streamed through the kitchen window, glinting off the stainless steel appliances and illuminating the colorful fruit bowl. Oh no. Snack time. A wave of panic washed over him, his googly eyes widening. He had to hide!
First, Benny tiptoed (as much as a banana with newly formed legs *could* tiptoe) behind a shiny red apple. Too small! It rolled away, leaving him exposed. Desperate, he spotted the ceramic cookie jar, its lid adorned with a cheerful bluebird. He squeezed inside, the fit impossibly tight. *Bonk!* The lid bounced against his peel as he wiggled deeper.
Suddenly, the lid lifted. A giggling sound echoed above him. A hungry kid! A small hand reached in and plucked him out. "Aha! I found you, Benny!" The kid, a freckled-faced boy with a mischievous grin, held him aloft. Benny squeezed his eyes shut and let out a silent cartoon scream. Then, the boy peeled him open... and instead of being eaten, colorful candies burst forth like a glorious, sugary confetti explosion! Benny winked, a mischievous glint in his googly eyes.
The boy's eyes widened in surprise at the sugary cascade. "Woah!" he exclaimed, mesmerized by the colorful candies tumbling into his palm.
Before Benny could fully register the boy's reaction, another hand darted in, snatching a generous handful of the scattered sweets. A younger boy, no older than five, with a shock of unruly brown hair and bright blue eyes, had appeared seemingly from nowhere. He giggled, clutching the candies tightly in his small fist.
Benny’s fun wasn’t over yet; the ceramic cookie jar had just become the battleground for a brotherly candy war! The older boy, clearly not pleased with this intrusion, lunged for the remaining sweets, a playful growl rumbling in his chest. "Hey! Those are mine!" he protested, reaching into the jar once more. The younger boy squealed with delight, dodging his brother's grasp with surprising agility. A candy flew through the air, landing with a soft *thud* on the checkered kitchen floor. The game was on!
"Mine too!" the younger boy chirped, stuffing a handful of candies into his mouth, his cheeks bulging.
Benny’s face flushed red. He was about to retort, maybe even retaliate with a tickle attack, when a strange sound cut through the playful chaos. It was a low, guttural growl, but not like the playful one Benny had made moments before. This was different, unsettling. The sound seemed to be coming from inside the ceramic cookie jar.
Both boys froze instantly, their eyes wide with a mixture of fear and bewilderment. Benny slowly lowered his hand, which had been poised to snatch another candy. The younger boy stopped chewing, his bright blue eyes fixed on the jar. The growling intensified, vibrating slightly against the checkered kitchen floor. It was definitely coming from inside.
