Who will help him? Tell me, who? Who will unstick him from this goo? Would you? Yeha! I'll get you out real fast, declares a cowgirl riding past. She spins her rope around Billy's shin,

then loses grip and falls right in. Billy Blue's still stuck in goo and now the cowgirl stuck there too. What would you do? Behold! Our acrobatic troop will pull you from this gooey goop. We promise it will be a breeze. We even brought our own trapeze.

They clutch the bar. They sling it back. Then in mid-swing, they hear a crack. Four acrobats, the cowgirl too, and sadly still poor Billy Blue. The lot of them are stuck in goo. Who'll unstick them now? Would you?

Ahoy, me mates. Take a look. You're stuck in goo? I have a hook. They think the hook will help. Instead, the pirate plops in on his head. Four acrobats, the cowgirl too, the pirate, and poor Billy Blue, Quite a few now stuck in goo. What would you do?

Tadda! Your friendly wizard here, and through my wizardly career, I've learned to make things disappear. I'll do what I can with this goo right here. No need to beg. I volunteer. A whack! A wook! A dobley do! Agads, it seems I've made more glue! Four acrobats, the cowgirl too, the pirate and poor Billy Blue, and now a puzzled wizard who has somehow made two times more goo. So many stuck now.

The others spring to his defense. They do not want things to get tense. I'll use my rope. I'll swing some more. I'll call my friend the dinosaur. Kazim, Kazum, Kazoo-Zat. The talking-you is now part-cat. Unruly goo, you stand no chance.
