Needoh bounces toward the Cracker Kids. Their pretzel tower stands tall and criss-crossed. Boing! Needoh bounces right into it. Schlop.
Needoh bounces slowly toward the Chocolate River. Glug, glug. A Lemon Drop falls in and sinks like a stone. Help! it waves a tiny hand.

The Lemon Drop clings to Needoh's belly. You saved me, it whispers. Needoh bounces gently, careful not to squeeze too hard.
The hard candies gather around. Needoh bounces and splashes chocolate everywhere. Sploosh! The Cracker Kids slide and slip on the grass.
The Cracker Kids laugh until their hard shells rattle. Click-clack! They roll around in the chocolate. Needoh bounces in the middle.
Everyone rolls and bounces together in the chocolate fun. The rainbow road shines behind them. Needoh lets out a happy boing.
The hard candies form a circle around Needoh. Click-clack! They rattle with laughter. Needoh bounces in the middle, chocolate dripping everywhere.
Needoh bounces down the rainbow road again. Boing, boing. The candy valley hums with happy clatter. He is squishy. He is perfect.
