It was ten years ago today, when they both met at that sporting event in Indonesia. They were watching Kobe Bryant playing baseball. His team was losing because he attended the wrong sporting event - he had accidentally attended the baseball tournament instead of the basketball tournament. 

Huge Hamptons suddenly rolled onto the court like a moist snake and ripped the ball off one of the players. He hit a home run and suddenly Big Larne the tiger fell in love with him because of his feisty fiery eyes. 

The tiger was there because he wanted to surf. He liked to surf, he was really good because he practised everyday.

Big Larne fell from the crowd, BANG! And landed in front of Huge Hamptons and said, “I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it, I just fell for you.”

And then, Huge Hamptons said, “you are as cute as a puppy. Your belly button is very nice, it’s spectacular. You look like a famous tennis player.”

Suddenly, a flash flood jumped into the court like a child jumping into a puddle...
