Humpty Dumpty was killed by Foxy. WHAT?
Once upon a time there was an egg named Humpty Dummy that lived in scrambled city where all the eggs live in.
One day a bad Fox named Foxy entered Scrambled City. He only went to egg town to rob the houses but while he was robbing his second house he saw Humpty sitting on top of a big brick wall. Foxy could not control himself so he had to push Humpty off the wall, so he did!
After Humpty fell and splattered into pieces Foxy cooked him and turned it to scrambled eggs and shared it with himself because he was also known as the greedy sneaky Fox. After that day the egg FBI were trying to find the the person who killed Humpty dumpty, they traced the egg stains then scanned some hand prints and footprints. The handprints were fox prints so they had to enter Foxburg to ask every fox in the city questions.
While the egg FBI were asking innocent fox’s questions Foxy was telling his best friend Phoebe what he had done, then foxy said “don't tell anyone”. but when the egg FBI came to Phoebe’s house Phoebe was getting nervous and started sweating and scratching and then…. “OK FOXY THAT LIVES DOWN THE STREET DID IT AND TOLD ME NOT TO TELL BUT I'M SCARED, PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME TO JAIL”. Then the FBI said “calm your tail we won't take you to jail you did nothing so i'm just going to take your friend Foxy to jail, now where does he live again”?
When the FBI went to Foxy’s house they smashed the door open and tackled foxy the put him in handcuffs. While they were taking foxy in to the police car egg reporters were trying to interview him, So he turned to a camera and said “I'll return.”
