Bata snacks are the laziest creatures, probably in the whole world. They're too lazy to dig burrows like rabbits or to find hollow trees to live in. The small animals do, and would be horrified at the work of building nests like birds. Bodice Knox find their homes ready, made in rubbish heaps when they find a pile of tins, pots, pans and junk. They think it is lovely and crawl in and live there, sleeping mostly best of all, they like the rubber shapes along dusty roadsides in the lonely Australian bush, where they can sleep for weeks undisturbed. Once in a rubbish heap like this, too long black years poked out of a watering can. The E is came first because they were twice as long as the head they belong to. Between the ears appeared an ugly green face with slanted eyes, a nose like a cheese grater and a main mouth with pointed teeth sticking out. The skin was wrinkly all over, and little toadstools grew where the eyebrows should have bean. This was the king of the bodice, Nyc's. He squeezed out of the watering can. The king's ears turned bright red because he was angry. This always happens with body snakes when they get angry on the cause of his temper was a thistle growing through the bottom off his bed, but he was too lazy to pull it out and just stood there looking. With his ears growing redder near him, he saw an old, rusting car propped against a gum tree. What a palace that would make for a bodice. Nike king. If someone would open a door, he thought I would get in. So the king yelled at the top of his voice for help and very loud, that is. But the other bodice, NYC's all 20 or so of the king's band snores loudly from their beds in the rubbish to show they had not heard.
