Our Story Continues.....

The next day, Grandpa,
Grandma, and the crew
set out to explore the
cave.
“This is really amazing!”
exclaimed everyone at
once.
“This place would make a
great summer home,”
thought Grandpa.  “It
really is a lot cooler down
here than it is on the
surface.”
“Look at the size of those
mushrooms!” said Bizby as
he licked his lips.

Bizby disappeared down a
corridor to do some
exploring on his own when
suddenly he entered a huge
cavern.  A pale stream was
running through the center.  
A small waterfall was
flowing into the pool and
huge mushrooms were growing
on the edges.
“I Better tell the others, but
first, I think I’ll try a
sample,” thought Bizby.
He took a small bite. It
tasted real sweet.  Kind of
like fresh fruit only a little
bit different.  He could
hardly wait to tell the others
when suddenly everything
went dark…

“Is he alive!  What happened?”
everyone screamed at once.
“I’m not sure.  I didn’t think a
little squirt could get hurt,” said
Grandpa sadly.
“Here, let me handle this,” said
Slipper, as she placed one of her
antennas on his forehead.  “He’s
only sleeping.”
“Oh, thank heaven!  What do you
think caused that?” asked
Grandpa.
“That mushroom has a bite out of
it,” said someone.
“We better take one of these
back to the Powerplants.  They’ll
know what to do.  One of you
bring Bizby and we’ll head back
to the village,” ordered Grandpa.

Bizby was still asleep when they arrived
back at the village. The Powerplants
already knew what had happened.
“How did you know?” asked Grandpa.
“We were told by a little butterfly who
said she was a friend of Bizby’s,”
laughed the Powerplants.
“Well, what should we do?” everyone
yelled impatiently.
“We need to send someone back for a
blue mushroom.  It is the only thing that
will wake our little friend,” said the
Powerplant.
“Is he going to be all right?” asked
Slipper.
“He’ll be fine. Nothing can harm him
while he is asleep, but he won’t wake up
until we find a blue mushroom.”
“I’m worried.  I didn’t see any blue ones
at all,” said Grandma.

Grandpa sent Sparky and Slipper
along with two of the ship’s
robots to seek out the blue
mushroom.  The robots were sent
down several shafts, but no blue
mushrooms were found.  They
called the Powerplants on the
videophone to see if they knew of
any place the blue mushrooms
might be hidden.
“Look for some big earthen jars.  
That’s where they keep the seeds.
Be careful though.  Don’t spill
them.  The blue mushrooms grow
real fast and could fill the entire
cave.  Plant a few down by the
stream and within minutes we’ll
have enough to wake Bizby,”
replied the Powerplant.
