Chapter 1

Once upon a time, in a land called Sarasaland, there lived a farm. And on that farm there were two old people, but they are not very important. But I will go ahead and tell you their names. They were Auntie Em and Uncle Henry. Uncle Henry was short, had a very bushy mustache, and had an Italian Accent, which is weird because he's a farmer. Auntie Em was a good bit taller than her husband, and had white hair that used to be blond. Her voice was very high and she always wore a blue brooch. These two strange old people had a neice named Daisy. Daisy is the important one here.

Daisy was young and pretty, with shoulder length red hair and really big green eyes. She was tall and athletic, but she always wore a blue petticoat and apron. Her Uncle made her help on the farm so he could get inside and eat a cannoli. Her Aunt made her help in the kitchen, so there would be a cannoli for Uncle Henry to eat. Daisy was pretty happy, and loved her two old people and her dog.

Her dog is really rather ugly, for it looks a bit like a mushroom. Its name is Toadtoad. It rides around in a little basket and barks unconvincingly every once in a while. Daisy's Aunt and Uncle assured her that Toadtoad was indeed a dog, but that was coming from an Italian Farmer and his Cannoli Maiden. Toadtoad was a good dog, or at least was a good domesticated creature of some sort.

As you can imagine, life on the farm is pretty monotonous, and Daisy would occasionally sing songs about bluebirds and rainbows to pass the time. The most exciting thing that has happened on this Sarasalanian Farm is a Tweester every time and again. Actually, that is where our story begins, with a particularly vicious tweester. We see the Farmhouse, with Uncle Henry sitting on the porch eating a cannoli. Auntie Em is gardening, and Daisy is playing with her domesticated creature.

Suddenly, Uncle Henry stands up, dumping his cannoli on the ground and shouts, "Mama Mia! There is a Tweester a-coming!" Auntie Em shrieks and proceeds to shriek, while Daisy spies a dusty funnel with two eyeballs in the distance. She grabs Toad toad and sprints for the Tweester Cellar. Uncle Henry is still on the porch eating his dirty cannoli, and Auntie Em is deciding whether or not now would be a good time to faint. Daisy, being the smart girl she is, runs back to her guardians.

Uncle Henry had finished his cannoli and was running towards his wife, who had decided fainting was appropriate under the circumstances. He was now carrying her towards the Cellar. Daisy began to go back to the cellar, noticing that her red hair was beginning to blow around. She dropped into the shelter after her Aunt and Uncle, and sighed with relief. Everyone was here.

No! Not everyone was here! Where was Toadtoad? Daisy pushed the trapdoor off the cellar and looked back at the house. Toadtoad was looking at her through her bedroom window. Daisy climbed out of the hole, kicking off her Uncle who was trying to pull her back in. The tweester was perilously close now, but Daisy sprinted through the crops to the house. The wooden boards creaked and groaned, and for an agonizing moment it seemed as if the whole house was going to fly up into the air!

Daisy launched herself onto the porch and scrambled through the door that was banging in the wind. Toadtoad barked from the bedroom and Daisy ran in and scooped him up. There was a terrifying groan from the floorboards and the whole house gave a lurch. Daisy jumped onto her bed and hugged her domesticated animal to her. She screamed as the house gave a gigantic lurch and lifted off the ground for a second.

Daisy could see her Aunt and Uncle peering at the house from under the trapdoor.

Then the house lifted up again and stayed in the air for a whole minute! Daisy was afraid to leave the bed, but she was afraid to stay in the house. Suddenly, the house's foundation completely screamed and gave way as the Tweester swooped in. The walls shook and the floor lifted off the ground for the longest time yet. In fact, it didn't touch the ground again! The house was now one, two, three feet off the floor!

Daisy let out a scream that sounded over the winds of the Tweester. Toadtoad howled and ran in circles. They were going to die, no doubt. Daisy had never heard of anyone that had survived being picked up by a Tweester. Toad toad buried himself in Daisy's bedsheets and Daisy did the same. Somehow, over the howling wind and deathly situation, she fell asleep.
