Folks call me a banana slug. Now I ask you. Do I look like a banana? It's O.K. if you think so. I know I'm a little unique. I can take a joke.

Louie got the bright idea to take me to school on the bus. He hid me in his duffle bag. I stretched out on a sticky bed and leaned back on a fluffy pillow. Every once in a while, someone screamed and a horn honked, so I put the pillow over my ears. It didn't drown out a loud, "screeeeeeech1" I fell forward and bumped my head on Louie's thermos. I saw stars and smelled COFFEE!
