Once upon a time That's not right, not right at all...

Actually it was just a few days ago, there was an unhappy little boy named, Scottie Phishie. Scottie, along with his mother and father had just moved into a new house, but Scottie didn't like their new house. Scottie wanted to go back to their old house but Scottie's parents said someone else had already moved into their old house so he was stuck with them in their new house.

Scottie didn't like his new room because it was too big.

Scottie thought his new windows were too tall.

Scottie didn't like his new yard because it was too small. There wasn't even enough room to play ball.

Scottie didn't like his new school because no one knew who he was at his new school. At his old school everyone knew who Scottie was.

That's why Scottie emptied his piggy bank of all four dollars and sixty-seven cents, and decided to run away. Of course, as Scottie could only count to seven he had no idea how much money he had. But Scottie didn't leave before going to the pond out back and putting a leash on the neck of his pet duck, Merlin. "Come on, Merlin," Scottie said, "we're outta here."

And with that Scottie's adventures begin.
