Judy Moody Saves the World!
Judy Moody did not set out to save the world. She set out to win a contest. A Band-Aid contest.
Judy snapped open her doctor kit. Where was that box of Crazy Strips? She lifted out the tiny hammer for testing reflexes.
“Hey, can I try that?” asked Stink, coming into Judy’s room.
“Stink, didn’t you ever hear of going knock, knock?”
“Sure,” said Stink. “Who’s there?”
“Not the joke,” said Judy. “The thing a little brother is supposed to do before entering a big sister’s room.”
“You mean I have to tell a joke just to come in your room?” asked Stink.
“Never mind,” said Judy.
“Never mind who?” asked Stink.
“Stink! Just sit on the chair and cross your legs,” said Judy. “I’m going to test your reflexes.”
“Please don’t do doctor stuff to me!” Stink said.
“C’mon, Stink.” Judy tapped Stink’s knee with the hammer. Stink’s foot shot out and kicked her in the leg.
“Hey, Stink,” said Judy. “You kicked me! Who do you think you are, a cassowary?”
“A what-o-wary?”
“Cass-o-wary. I learned it in Science. It’s a rain forest bird that can’t fly, so it kicks its enemies.”
“I’m not a casso-whatever,” said Stink. “I just have really good reflexes.”
Judy flashed her best anaconda eyes at Stink. “Forget it,” she said, putting the hammer away.
Stink reached into Judy’s doctor kit and pulled out some Crazy Strips.
“Stink! I told you not to steal my Crazy Strips. Now this box is empty, as in ALL GONE. I told you I’d put your arm in a sling if you didn’t stop stealing my stuff.”
Stink did not want his arm in a sling again. Especially when it wasn’t broken. “Give it,” said Judy, taking the box from Stink. “I want to read about the contest.”
“Contest?” asked Stink. “What do we have to do?”
Judy read the box.
