Huff and Puff were two very good friends. But unlike the other creatures in the world, they didn’t have a place to call their own.
The fishes had the seas. The elephants had their forests. The birds had their sky. And we have our homes. But poor little Huff and Puff were the only two of their kind in the world.
“We have to find a place to call our own,” said Huff to Puff one day, “Else we’ll get wiped off this earth, and no one will even know we existed.”
So Huff and Puff first flew up into the skies. They bumped into a falcon up there. She looked at them haughtily and said, “Why’re you two here? We just gave permission to those darn airplanes, and now we have another bunch wanting to claim the skies. Please go back.” And she shooed them down.
Then Huff and Puff went to the forests (actually that’s where they fell after the falcon shooed them off). They fell right onto the back of an elephant. “Do you think we can live here?” whispered Huff into the elephant’s big ears. The elephant didn’t answer, but trumpeted so loud that all the other elephants in the forest came to him. “These guys want to live here with us.”
“No waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay”, trumpeted all the elephants in unison.
So Huff and Puff got blown away by the loud trumpeting, and landed in the ocean. Straight into a fishing trawler (thankfully, else that would’ve been the end of them, because Huff and Puff don’t have gills to breathe under water). Puff peeked off the edge of the little boat, and stopped the first fish he saw, a salmon. “’Scuse me, Sir, but do you think my friend Huff and I could come live with you and everyone else down there?” The salmon splashed some water into poor Puff’s face and laughed and swam away (straight into a fishing net).
“Guess we can’t live here too”, bawled Puff into Huff’s shoulder. They both spent the night crying and soon the boat’s gentle rocking and the wave’s lullaby put them to sleep.
The next morning, when they woke up they realized they were in someone’s bag. They had rolled into it while they were asleep, and now they were being carried off. And since they were a Huff and a Puff, the human couldn't've seen them.
“Yaaarghhh”, screamed Huff, “I haven’t even brushed my teeth!!!”
Puff peeped out the bag and saw that they were on land now. “Phew”, said Puff, “At least we’re outta the water.”
Huff and Puff rolled along and finally got off at a place which was nice and cool and carpeted. Huff leaped down and landed softly next to Puff. He whistled, “Fancy place, huh? Come, let’s take a walk around.”
After walking for an hour, Huff and Puff both realized that no one here could see them and no one asked them to leave. Huff grinned at Puff. Puff sighed “Home Sweet Home” and lay down.
And from that day on, Huff and Puff found a home. And even today, when you go to the gym, you can feel Huff and Puff around.
