Meet Penny part 4

Penny followed Harold to see what this thing he had was. They then made it to Harold's house, specifically in his backyard, where Harold used his magic to pull out a dusty, old, tea kettle-like object.

"What is this thing?" asked Penny, "Is this what you wanted to show me, Harold?"

"Yes," replied Harold, "Don't be fooled by its appearence. Like so many things, it is not what is on the outside, but what is inside that counts. It may look like an old oil lamp, but it is no oridinary one"

Penny became very intrigued. But just as soon as Harold was going to touch the lamp's lid, his mother and father called for him to come into the house.

"I have to go, I'll show you what it can do tommarrow", said Harold, taking the lamp with him as he headed inside his house. Penny went home as well.














Meanwhile, as the sun began to set, the two Cassowary siblings stalked near the perimeter of the mountain that Canterlot sits upon.

"Now is the time for all good little youngsters to be safely tucked into their beds," said Wary, with a sinister look on her face.

"I wouldn't mind being tucked in," yawned Cass, feeling very sleepy, "I'm quite exhausted"

But just as Cass began to settle down in the grass to doze off, Wary kicked him in the side to get him back on his feet.

"Would you stop being lazy, Cass?" said Wary, feeling very annoyed by her brother.

"But Wary!" complained Cass, "I'm tired and hungry. Can't I have just little bitty Beetle snack?"

"No!" yelled Wary, "Can't you see? Now that we are adults, Insects won't be enough for us to eat anymore! From now on, we are eating the adult Cassowary diet, fruit, Fungi, some Insects and most importantly of all...smaller fellow Vertebrates!"

And the two broke out into song:


[WARY]:
When I wake up, the first thing I do...prey!
Is to look around for something to devour quickly through...it's prey, ineed!
Feeding myself is not really tricky, because, you see, I'm not at all picky...prey

[CASS]:
Well, you see, dear sister
I'm not that much a soft ol' mister

[WARY]:
This twin brother of mine, isn't quite all that skilled
I'll borrow, I'll beg, I'll even serve anyone for my dear beloved dose....of prey!

[CASS]:
Hey, Wary, I'm so hungry, I can't wait another minute
Here's a juicy-looking Mango with a beautiful color in it
Can't I have a taste? I won't just lick it

[WARY]:
CASS!!!!

[CASS]:
WHAT?!

[WARY]:
You imbecilic eater!
Fruit may be part of our diet, but I know another part that's sweeter...defenseless prey
You've got smell them out, trap them down, rip their corpses open!
We'll have a great big feast of smaller Animals, that I'm hoping!

[CASS]:
Oh, c'mon! I'm starving! I'm so weak! There is nothing in my tummy
And how you're describing defensless prey sounds incredibly yummy!

[WARY]:
Our victims' colors and shapes, and if we had incisors
We'd eat them without swallowing whole our appetizers!
Yeeesss!!

[CASS]:
Wary, want's the matter with the occasional Vegetation?

[WARY]:
Because we already had some! You are giving me some aggrevation!

[CASS]:
So we had our daily fruits from any sort of tree?

[WARY]:
Yes, you numbskull, so listen to me!
You leaf-licking

[CASS]:
Hey!

[WARY]:
Bush-bouncing, stem-slipping

[CASS]:
Now wait-

[WARY]:
Garden-gobbling, PLANT-PICKING, TREE-TRUMBLING, DIRT-DEVOURING BIRD!!!

[CASS]:
Sis!

[WARY]:
We also need some meat...5 times a day, as you have heard


After the musical number had ended, Wary said to Cass, "Tonight, we feast on Mice before we eat Pony young tommarrow morning"

She licked her beak at the thought and Cass did the same.
