Garfield (Complete Story)
Robert Newman and the Search for Pooky May You always love Garfield Mom and Dad Merry Christmas Robert Newman, age 5, was at the zoo near Papillion, NE when he saw Garfield and his friends. Wrenny and Ron knew how much Rob loved Garfield. "I lost my teddy bear, Pooky," Garfield sighed. "He was with me when I was eating ice cream, and now he's gone." "Are you sure you didn't eat him?" asked Nermal. "Quiet, Nermal," snapped Garfield, "or I'll sit on you." "I'll help you find Pooky!", said Rob. Rob pointed to the ground. "Look footprints! Whoever made these may have bearnapped Pooky." Rob and Garfield followed the footprints. "Will we find Pooky here?" Arlene asked. "I hope we don't find a swamp creature instead," said Nermal. "Arf!" Odie barked. he wanted to play ball. "Not now," Garfield said, "I have to look for Pooky." "Arf!" Odie barked again. "Oh, all right," Garfield said and threw the dingleball. Odie smiled and chased after it, running into the crocodile swamp. "Uh-oh! Watch out for the croc, Odie!" Rob shouted. Garfield heard a loud trumpeting sound. "Elephants!" Rob cheered. A big mama elephant was giving her baby a bath. The elephant sprayed water from her trunk, splashing Nermal. Luckily, Garfield and Rob ducked just in time and didn't get wet. "Hey Nermal," Garfield said, "how did you like your bath?" "Yuck! This is worse than Odie's drool," whined Nermal. "Hey," said Garfield. "Where is Odie?" "Let's keep following the footprints," Rob suggested. Garfield and Rob walked by the monkeys, who swinging in the trees and eating bananas. Nermal made a silly face. "I look like a monkey," he said. Grafield teased, "You smell like one, too." A monkey squeezed a banana in each hand. Pop! Pop! The tasty fruit shot into Garfield's open mouth. "Gulp! Gulp!" the fat cat said. "You can't feed the animals, but there's no rule that says they can't feed you!" Suddenly, Odie appeared, carrying the dingleball in his mouth. "We thought the crocodiles got you," Arlene smirked. "Let's look for Pooky in the bird sanctuary," Rob said. Rob walked with Garfield and his friends across a rope bridge. Brightly colored birds flew through the air. One with a wiggly worm in its beak landed on Garfield's head. "I think the bird wants to share her food," said Rob. "Yuck!" exclaimed Garfield. "I prefer lasagna. All this walking is making me hungry. Let's stop for a quick snack." "I filled up my tank and I'm ready to roll," said Garfield patting his tummy. "Maybe Pooky is here by the lions," said Rob. "Rwarrr," Nermal let out a little roar. "RWARRR!" A lion let out a big roar. Rob wished Wrenny and Ron were there to hear how loud the lion's roar was. "BURRRRP!" Garfield let out an even bigger belch. "Garfield, it looks like you're king of the jungle today." said Rob. "Maybe Pooky is with the polar bears," said Rob. "Let's check it out." Garfield and his friends watched the bears swim and splash in the pool. Garfield's veterinarian, Liz, was there too. "Polar bears live in the Arctic and eat fish," Liz said. "Fish?" Garfield said. "I prefer snow cones." "I know where polar bears keep their money," Nerman said. "Where?" Rob asked. "In snow banks." Nermal said with a smile. "Let's split up," said Rob. "We'll meet back at the big fountain. Arlene and Nermal can look in the kangaroo habitat, and we'll look in the Spider and Snake House." "The what?" Garfield said worriedly. Just then a snake slithered down a branch and hissed, while a big hairy spider jumped down from the tree.
