The Case of the Missing Purple Bacon

Think you've seen it all?  Well, I thought so too, until I heard this story!

Its a story about a cow, a piece of cheese and a pig.  Oh, and a piece of living purple bacon, too.  The bacon was owned by Billy Bob, a cow who also happened to be a jump rope champion.  He had owned this particular piece of bacon for a long time and he loved it very much.

One summer afternoon, when Billy Bob was away, Anson, a talking piece of cheese, came to Billy Bob's barn with a sinister plot on his mind and a cardboard box on his head.  He tricked the bacon into thinking he (the bacon) was an acorn, and since acorns can't talk back or run away, it was easy for Anson to steal the bacon.

When Billy Bob got home and discovered what had happened, he called Chester, a female pig with arms made out of stereos, and asked her to help.Chester decide that the job of finding the bacon was a task for a professional, so she called the police.

The police sent their best detective, a rainbow pop tart with a cat's head.  The detective tracked down the bacon theif and arrested him.  The trial is next week.

What happens next?  Why don't you or you and some of your friends write the next chapter?  Maybe you could write about a jail break, or an exciting trial, or another adventure in the life of Billy Bob, the jump roe champ!
