Steak, Grapes and the Moldy Cheese by Ryann Streicher

Once upon a time there was “Hey a thought this took place ten years ago!” Oh, sorry.

Once upon ten years ago there was a land of refrigerator. In the middle of the town next to the town hall there was a small Tupperware where Steak and Grapes lived, “When are you going to get to the story?” When I get there.

One day steak said to Grapes “We need a carrot!” he stared at ham demandingly (a carrot is a dog) “I agree that we need a pet but, could we get a cheese instead?” He made a little puppy face and said “pretty please with sugar on top.” He begged because when ham wants something he wants it exactly the way he wants it. Steak rolled his eyes “fine but I get to pick it out.” Grapes didn’t argue

Beep, beep, beep, beep. “Grapes turn off the alarm.” Click Grapes turned off the alarm. He yawned and muttered something. After a few minutes Grapes started to snore. Steak shook his head “WAKE UP THERE IS A ROBBER!” Grapes screamed like a wimpy girl and said, “Don’t touch my stuff!” Steak laughed as if there was no end. Grapes looked at steak angrily still a little scared. “Why did you do that?” Steak giggled “I love that scared face you make, that’s why.”

“Come on lets go.’’ Steak said while putting his clothes on. “ Oh yeah we’re going to get the cheese today, right.” Grape said. “Yeah but only if we find the car keys.” Steak was looking throe all the drawers “grapes you were the last one to use the car where did you put the keys?” Grapes took a deep breath, “Umm well ya see I kinda left them in the car.” Steak looked as if he was going to explode “YOU WHAT!” Grapes was starting to panic “Um umm well um” he was playing with his hands Listen we are going to go and check the parking lot.” Steak was muttering shit the whole way to the parking lot. When the got there steak asked, “where did you park the car dummy?” while he was looking around the parking lot. Grapes scratched his head. “Right where you’re standing.” Steak yelled, “SHIT!” at the top of his lungs.

“Call the cops give them our license plate number and describe the car.” Steak paused “I’ll get the bus schedule.” Grapes looked at steak “Are you still mad?” steak made a fist “Shut up before I kill you.” two hours later they got on the bus. It was crowed but they got to sit down. They looked at the man next to them he was playing with a knife he was an ugly man he had hunch back and one eye was above the other one of his eyebrows were swollen. Steak felt sick just looking at him then the ugly man spoke, “wana buy a knife?” steak smiled politely and said “no thank you.” Then ham looked the other way. “ Nice sharp knife, you could kill your mother with it that’s what I did. So do ya wana buy the knife?” grapes was getting scared. So steak yelled “Listen man I don’t wana buy your damn knife!” and steak grabbed grapes arm and said “We’re moving!” so they moved but that that man was a little crazy too, “You just told us what was going to happen, Next chapter please!” fine you little brat.

“This is where we get off.” grapes said happily. Steak giggled “finally we are away from the guy with the knife he gave you the creeps.” Grapes glared at steak “I was not scared!” he yelled in protest. Steak stared at grapes “You were too.” They argued until they got to the pound.

“Okay we’re going to get a healthy animal no matter what.” Grapes wanted to get going. “I mean it!” grapes rolled his eyes “fine, fine.”

As soon as they got in the animal shelter they were surrounded by other people, screaming “I ain't a sick animal!!!” so then grapes screamed “I want a very sick one!!!!!!!!!” steak pulled him over to the side and yelled “No he doesn’t!” after five minutes the crowd was gone where  dude?” steak and grapes looked around “Here I am.” Yelled the little man. “What kind of a pet do you want?” cheese smiled and said “A cheese please.” The little man look under the desk and pulled out a pile of paper up to the ceiling “You want us to sign all these papers?” the man nodded “Only the bottom one.” When they were done the man showed them to the back and showed them their choices “we want the third one, but has he been to the vet yet?” the man rolled his eyes “of coarse.” Steak clapped his hands “then he is the one for us!”

As they were walking out of the animal shelter Ham yelled “Bye and thank you for helping us. Bye.”

Steak and Grapes loved their cheese And they lived happily ever after.
