Bob was doing his job and his boss told him he had to go up high to fix a window frame. While Bob was climbing up the building to fix the window he started getting scared because he was terrified of heights. When he was on his way up he turned a different shade of pink. It was a bright fluorescent pink! When he changes his emotion the shade of his pink fur changes.

Bob fell off the ladder but luckily he caught on to the edge with his big sloth claws. However, when he slipped free Google-Eyes, his big purple turtle friend, went under him. Bob landed on his shell and slid off.

Bob said “Thanks for saving me!” Then he turned a bright shade of green because he was about to vomit. He was sick all over Google-Eyes’s shell.

Google-Eyes said, “Thanks for the vomit.”

Bob got back up and his boss said, “You’ve put that window on sideways. Get up there and fix that!”

Bob said, “You nearly cost me my life trying to fix that window!” But because he didn’t want to lose his job, he knew he’d have to do it anyway.

Google-Eyes then said that he was going to do it. But because he was the size of an elephant, he wouldn’t be able to use the ladder. One of the other builders said that their friend was the size of an elephant and had a special ladder.

Google-Eyes went up the special ladder to fix the window, but as he was fixing it, the window smashed and the glass went crashing towards the ground…
