The piano stool


All I actually did was to try that new piano stool.

I climbed up the seat.

I opened the keyboard cover and played few tones.

Then I wanted to play legato, but I found out, that I can't reach the pedals.

That damn new piano stool was just too high for me.

So I spun twice to lessen it.

Still too high.

So I spun one more time.

Nah, still too high.

So I rebounded and started to spin again.

And I finally felt like the height might be all right for me.

But the stool didn't seem to stop rotating.

It spun on and on.

Round and round.

And it carried me down and down.

We reached the floor.

But it didn't stop at all!

The stool began to drill a hole in the Earth.

Faster and faster.

I didn't even have a chance to react!

Suddenly I was under ground and going down with the stool.

I don't know how long did it last.

Maybe an hour or two.

Then we arrived at the other side of planet.

Unfortunately, the ocean was there.

What a shock!

The water started to make this huge vortex, whirling around the hole we made.

Like an outfall in a tube.

No wonder it took me a while to concentrate.

Then I got hold of the stool again and swam to the hole in the sea bottom.

It sucked me in and I was on my way back home.

But while I was drilling through the Earth, the floor had lots of time to shag.

So I bumped into the end of tunnel.

The only solution was to drill into canalization so I could get out.


Yes, mom, that's why the apartment is full of water!

Yes, mom, that's why the piano stool is broken!

Yes, mom, that's why I'm so dirty!

I'm not lying!
