Cheetah’s Cabin- Chapter 4

                                                                Chapter four

                As the photographer puzzled all this out, Sandstorm suddenly had an idea. He would have a cabin party. He went to the cabin phone and called 583-984-6478.  “hello?” Said a voice.  Wrong number thought Sandstorm and quickly hung up. Then, he called 690-794-9999 “hello?” Said another voice. This time, Sandstorm quickly thought of all the human talk he knew so far and said hurriedly, “Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.”

“What?” Asked the person.

He repeated, “Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.”

“What about it?”

“Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.”

“Haven’t read it.”

“Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.”

“What?”

“Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.”

“Geez, what are you trying to say?”

“Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.”

“Is that the only thing you know how to say?”

“Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.”

“Go away whack-o!”

“Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.”

“I said go away, whack-o!!”

“Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.”

“Shut up! I’m going to hang up on you!”

“Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.”

The person hung up. Sandstorm sighed, “I really messed that up. I must remember that some people must not like Great Expectations, although I like it very much! I must also remember to say other things like mentioning the Great Cabin Party.” Sandstorm then took out the photographer’s typewriter, and after messing with it for a little wrote the following script:

Me: Hello

Not me: Hello

Me: Have you read Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

Not me: no/yes

Me: Please come to my cabin party. It is in a cabin called bullseye cabin. In the party there will be food and games and books. Come now. This is my first cabin party.

Not me: ok

Me: Thank you, see you at the party!

Now that the script was all worked out, Sandstorm picked up the phone again and called 890-688-9754

“Hullo?” said a voice.

Sandstorm hurriedly said, “Great Expectations by Charles Dickens” This time because he was all in a hurry and not said hullo first and now the script was failing.

But the person said, “I haven’t read that.”

And sandstorm quickly said, “Please come to my cabin party. It is in a cabin called bullseye cabin. In the party there will be food and games and books. Come now. This is my first cabin party.

“Daddy? Why are you having a cabin party?” asked the person for this was one of the photographer’s children.

And as Sandstorm had nothing else to say, he said, “Thank you, see you at the party!”

“But Daddy, you never have cabin parties!”

“Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.”

“Daddy, I know you like that book, but why do you keep saying that?”

Now, Sandstorm was throwing out random words that he knew, “December 16.”

“What do you mean Daddy?”

“Marsh, river, pork-pie.”

“Daddy! Don’t trick me!”

“Pip”

“oh”

“Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.”

“Daddy!”

“Cheetah”

The Photographer’s child just then thought and said, “Daddy, you know how much it costs to get a trip to Africa. But there’s just a chance that I can get there. The cargo ship Perseverance leaves today in just a little while. They will stop at the cape of good hope and I can get off! Daddy, how fun I would be to sneak away and see Africa!” Then the phone hung up, but this time Sandstorm was satisfied that he thought this person would at least come to his party. He decided to have his party on 23 or 24.
