Spot and Spike
"You are such a boring, ordinary circle," said Spike to Spot, as he bit into the cake. "Look at me. I'm strong, sharp and poky. I can make you cry!"
"Eeeeeee! Spikes!" shrieked Spot. "Yes, aren't I scary?" said Spike. "Not you! Look there. S... S... Spikier... stronger... sharper... pokier... teeth... shark swimming this way!"
"Shark?" yelped Spike, looking out into the sea. Spot quickly pulled out her red gel tube. "Hee hee. Boring spots coming up," sniggered Spot.
"Huh? Where's the shark?" said Spike.
Spike picked up his cake to take another bite. "Eeeeeee! Spots!" he shrieked. "Yes, aren't they boring? Probably just harmless chicken pox spots," said Spot.
"Boring! Harmless! What's harmless about spots? Blech!" screamed Spike. "Spots are scary!"
