When the chance to create a holiday happened, the sheep were first in line to add January 20th as Cheese Lover’s Day. They loved cheese and tried to have some with every meal. The other toys could tell you that whenever the sheep were in charge of food for an event, there was always cheese. They didn’t know the types of cheese, but the sheep always chose delicious ones for everyone to enjoy.
On January 20th, the sheep laid out all different
types of cheese on their outdoor tables. There were soft cheeses like Brie,
ricotta, cream cheese, and even cottage cheese. There were hard cheeses like
cheddar, parmesan, and Swiss. Each of the cheeses was labeled with its name and
had a small plate of crackers next to it.
As each of the toys stopped by that day, they tried
different types of cheeses, and the sheep told them about each one.
“Brie is from France. It tastes great on crackers or even on
sandwiches,” Baa told Teddy when he stopped by.
“Cheddar cheese comes from England and is white there. Here,
in the United States, it’s yellow,” said Black Sheep.
“I bet you can’t guess where Swiss cheese comes from,” said
Baaa to Sylver when he took a nibble of the holey cheese. “Umm…Switzerland?”
answered Sylver. “You’re right!” the three sheep yelled, making Sylver jump and
almost drop his cheese. He scrambled and managed to catch it before popping it
into his mouth.
He was about to head back to the ocean life cubby when he
noticed a tv set up next to the tables. “What’s this?” he asked. “Oh
that…that’s something that we thought the toys might enjoy. It’s a game called
Cheese Game.”
Sylver walked closer to the screen and noticed that
controllers had been hooked up. “Can I try it out?”
“Of course you can. That’s why we set it up!” said Baa while
his brothers walked back to the tables to put out new pieces of cheese. “It’s
one player or I’d play with you. Try it out and if you would like a snack, come
back over for some more cheese. Perhaps some cheddar this time or cream
cheese.” Baa smiled and walked away.
Sylver picked up a controller and hit start. He chuckled
when he saw that he was playing as a piece of cheese that looked a lot like the
piece that he had just eaten. The game started easily enough. He was a piece of
cheese that had to avoid everything because everything wanted to eat him. He
beat a few levels and when he paused for a moment, he noticed that he had drawn
quite the crowd around him. Quite a few of his friends were there supporting
him and cheering him on.
He took a deep breath and unpaused the game. It was time for
the final level. With his friends watching, he dodged left, and he dodged
right. There were rocks falling from the sky and a miner trying to catch him. He
kept dodging and running. The rocks were falling faster now and the more
intense the game got, the quieter his friends got. There were only thirty
seconds left. Could he beat the game?
He dodged to the left again. A rock barely missed him, and
his friends held their breath. He was so close. Another dodge to the right and
around a pair of rocks that came raining down. The miner was right there, but
he managed to veer around him. Ten seconds left. Suddenly the rocks were coming
down faster, but with each rock that rained down, he dodged around it. Five
seconds left and the miner was right on this tail. He flipped around and ran
around the miner. Time was up and he won! He let out the breath that he hadn’t
realized he’d been holding and grinning, turned around to hug his cheering
friends.
“You did it! On your first try you beat that game!”
“Oh my gosh, that was awesome!”
“Thanks, guys! We should celebrate with some cheese!”
