Big Bird Is he a Man, Muppet, or Murderer?

By: Nathan Siri

Part I

Big Bird was born as Chester Williams in 1918 Right at the end of WWI. He was a bright boy but he had some problems all the other kids were much taller than him and he thought that he needed to be like them. His parents told him that he was just fine the way he was but Big Bird did not buy it he knew that his parents were much shorter than than all their peers and he told them this. Then they told him that he had to sleep in the basement with the Germans they were hiding after the war. That night in the basement Big Bird told them his dilemma and they told him that they could help him. They told him that they could help him get taller if he could get them back to Germany. Then Big Bird Said " Okay Deal but do i have to pay you?" Then they said "Nein" So he stole his dads wallet and paid them $9. They then Spent the whole night devising a plan for the trip back. At the time Big bird lived in Maine So their best coarse of action was to rent a boat and sail to France where they would then trek across land to their small hometown of Berlin. Once they arrived the two Germans would keep their side of the deal and take Big Bird to their friends.

The Journey began on March 13, 1925 It was a very rough start and it only got worse. The boat was a small sail boat with out a sail and only one oar and it was full of rats. To make Matters Worse Big Bird had forgotten the Peanut and Jelly sandwiches. Luckily they found a Fishing Rod in the boat. All they could catch was Tuna and Big Bird was allergic to just about everything on Gods Green Earth except Peanut butter and Jelly bread and pomegranates. So they had no food and a 5 month long journey ahead of them. The first day went all right but Big Bird fell over board and Alek had to save him. Alek and Karp were the two Russians. They did not get along very well especially when it came to picking the music Big Bird Liked modern pop songs but Alek and Karp only enjoyed classical Russian Lullabies so Big Bird took their Record player and threw it into the ocean. Due to the unfortunate timing of Big Bird's warning Alek Lost his foot to a shark so Big Bird and Karp Took to calling him "Stumpy" which did not please him. It was now May of 1925 and Every one was very hungry, Alek and Karp Were threating to eat Big Bird if they did not arrive soon. Just when it seemed like he was gonna be Sunday dinner Big Bird shouted "LAND STRAIGHT AHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Alek and Karp Sighed with relief because they could finally get of the tiny fishing boat with the freakishly small child.

Part III

On May 25 1925 they hit land and were immediately taken into custody by the French Navy. It was not a fun experience but Alek and Karp were able to bribe the officers and recruit them for the expedition. The two officers, Raphaël and Aaron, Decided to take the three people they caught back to their apartment and pack for the journey. This time they packed well and had enough food to last about three and a half years. The trip started well, they used Uber to get a ride to the nearest forest so they would be under the cover of the forest and so it would be harder to track them. Their company of five found that they all enjoyed whistling while they walked. Along the path they found a Jeep that was in perfect working condition despite being left in the jungle. Driving the Jeep cut their trip's time by 15 percent or more. When they finally arrived in The small Fishing Village Of Berlin they were completely and utterly dumbfounded. They realized that the jeep needed absolutely no Gasoline to run so Alek and Karp led the way to the Laboratory/Headquarters of their organization.

Part IV

Once they arrived they were hurried into a small room where they were checked for tracking devices and Big Bird was mistaken for a very small hand puppet. They then were escorted to the CEO's office and Alek and Karp told the story of their journey to the CEO because they were the only ones speaking English. This is what they said roughly translated into English: (this is Alek speaking) "Hello good day mister Chief Executive Officer We have returned from our trip to the United Territories of America" (this is the CEO talking Now) "Hello yes welcome back it has been a many years since you have been leaving." (Alek) "Well yes now friend It has been but thanks to This tiny child we have made it back to the Berlin." (CEO) "It is good to see you none the less my friend tell me about the Journey" and they did, it took them 15 hours to tell the story in total. They then took Big Bird into a laboratory and injected him with the first generation of super serum that Captain America is given in the future. Then Big Bird starts to grow and he thought it was wonderful that he was now over 8 feet tall. Then every thing goes wrong, he starts sprouting feathers and his feet turn into claws and his arms turn into wings. The doctors of dumbfounded, they thought the serum would only perfect the thing they gave the serum to which means that Big Bird was a bird all along.

Part V

After the serum incident Big Bird Accepts this change and decides that he was born this way and so he flies across the ocean back to Maine and takes his parents and drops them in the ocean for being mean to him. He then traveled to New York where he meets a woolly mammoth named Mr. Aloysius Snuffleupagus and they go to Sesame Street where they lived happily ever after.
