Where Ideas come from Chapter 5
Chapter 5
As the boy entered the cottage he was surprised to find that rather then the cottage being warmer then the outside, it was colder!
There was a fire in the fireplace yet the cottage seemed colder then the freezing outside!
"Hello Dearest, how did you manage to get all way the way down here?" greeted the old woman.
"I think there was a flood and I got washed out to sea" answered the boy, "Who are you? and why are you in Antarctica anyways?" asked the boy.
"Why I'm Ant Arctica thats who I am" answered the woman, "You mean you live in Antarctica" said the boy, "Yes I live in Antarctica but my name is Arctica so everybody
in town just calls me Ant Arctica" replied Ant Arctica, "Everybody in town? theres nothing here but this cottage" said the boy, "Oh nevermind that" said Ant Arctica, passing it off
as if she didn't want to answer the boys question.
The boy asked Ant Arctica "Do you know which way I can go to get to where Ideas come from?", "No I don't, but I do know where Ideas come from" replied Ant Arctica.
"I'm confused" stated the boy, "Where DO Ideas come from?" asked the boy, "Theres no one place they come from, you just have them, or you don't, you can look for them
usually" replied Ant Artica, "Last time I was looking for an idea I decided to sail the arctic ocean to find myself" continued Ant Artica.
"So Ideas come from the north pole? Thats exactly what I wanted to know! thanks Ant Arctica!" said the boy as he ran out of the cottage.
"Wait! thats not what I-" Ant Arctica began to yell but soon he was out of sight.
The boy could see the ocean in the distance and he headed towards it.
He soon arrived at a dock, there was Nobody there it seemed and he could see a raft at the dock.
"Theres Nobody here, I'm sure this belongs to Nobody" thought the boy as he untied the raft, there was a compass on the raft so the boy pushed the raft off the dock,
in the direction the compass said was north.
Nobody ran up to the dock having noticed his raft was stolen, he shouted at the boy "HEY! THATS MY RAFT!".
The boy floated north, and soon found himself in the middle of the ocean, with no land in sight, although there was some ice floating on the water.
The boy wasn't sure where he was, isn't the North pole supposed to be snowy? isn't there supposed to be some red and white pole signifying the furthest north?
It was then that a Narwal rose from the sea and asked "Are you lost?", "Somewhat, I'm trying to get to the north pole" said the boy.
"Well your here, this is the Arctic ocean." said the Narwal. Then the boy noticed it, "Wait a minute! how are you talking?".
The Narwal replied, "Because I'm not an ordinary Narwal, I'm Santa Claus!", "WAIT WHAT!? Isn't Santa supposed to be a big fat man wearing red?"
Exclaimed the boy.
"That image was created by Coca Cola, I've ALWAYS been a Narwal, how else could I survive in the North pole? It would be ridiculous if I was a Polar bear" Explained Santa.
So the boy asked Santa Claus, "Do you know where I can find an Idea? I was told I could find them at the north pole".
Santa laughed, he then hit the raft with his tail, the raft got caught in a big tidal wave.
The raft washed up at a fish harbor, the boy was tired of being washed everywhere, but he could see he was in a city, so perhaps he could find some food, he hadn't eaten in a while he realized.
As he got further into the city he noticed that everybody he saw had either a pink or blue ribbon on their head.
"Must be fashionable here" the boy thought.
But it seemed to go beyond fashion, as every single person he saw was wearing one.
"The stuff outside Suburbia gets odder and odder everyday it seems" thought the boy.
