Chapter 9: The Contents of Norman's Stomach

No, the students would never be the same again. They would never be the same because what they saw in Norman's stomach were the things on this list and many, many more:

A slippery spoonful of slimy stew,
a dirty, smelly, stinky, shoe,
a dozen baby frozen hens,
a cuckoo clock that counts by tens,
grimy grapes, gooey gravy,
mustard, pickles, a boy named Davey,
half a gallon of gasoline,
half a cup of Vaseline.
DISGUSTING!
Meat loaf ice cream, raw onion pie
tomato cake, kangaroo thigh,
mushy meat, soggy bread,
to think about it hurts my head.
A pig's wig ('cause he had no hair),
the leathery soles of the feet on a bear,
piano keys, only the white ones,
father goose, and both his bright sons,
three tall ships, an army tank,
a basketball player, a piggy bank,
pizza, pizza, pizza, cheese,
let that be all, oh please! oh please!
No, there was more,
much more food,
I would tell you about it,
but I'm not in the mood....
Let me just say that what the students saw,
should certainly have been against the law!!!

The students were too scared to speak. Actually they were trying to speak but their voices were too scared to come out of their mouths. They all stood there screaming but there was no sound. I can tell you that they looked kind of funny. Justin's mouth was wide open screaming. Serena's mouth was as wide open as Justin's plus a few inches, screaming.

Greg's mouth was so wide open screaming, you could park a bike inside of it. Hannah's mouth was so wide open screaming, you could park a small car in it. David's mouth was so wide open screaming, you could park a large car in it.


Then they tried to scream even louder. Now Justin's mouth was so wide open screaming, you could park a stretch limousine inside of it.

Serena's mouth was so wide open screaming, you could park a yellow school bus inside of it.

Greg's mouth was now so wide open screaming you could park a large sixteen-wheeled truck inside of it.

Hannah's mouth was now so wide open screaming, you could park all of the cars that are stuck in traffic on the West Side Highway during rush hour in it. David's mouth was now so wide open screaming that you could fit all of New York City and a few of its suburbs into it. (Now that is a wide open mouth!) As a matter of fact it looked a bit like this!


(Yes, that's all of NYC in David's mouth )

The students just kept standing there screaming their silent scream and pointing, but there was just no sound. The elevator just kept falling.
Norman's stomach just kept on being disgusting, and the school was getting farther and farther away.

As a matter of fact the school was now 4,567,444 plus 7,454,439 miles above them. How far had the students fallen?
