By: Vanessa Holmquist The grasshopper tickled a bird. His friends dared him to. He was trying to impress a girl. He slowly flew closer and closer to the haunted cavern where many grasshopper went to do the crazy dare that ultimately resulted in their death. Interesting enough no matter how many grasshoppers died it was still cool to try. While flying closer her randomly saw a pair of old blue jeans. Weird huh. Anyways he was refocused on his task. He decided his plan of action was so draw out the bird then wait till he was out and quickly tickled em and hide. He rigged up a distraction by the water. Once he heard the bird start to come out and quickly flew to side of the entrance of the cavern. Once the bird emerged. He mustered up his courage and flew out to tickle the bird.
