Boom! Boom! Boom! Skel wakes up in bed. It is past bedtime, and a loud song thumps in the dark room.
Skel comes out to the farm. Llamas stomp and jig on the grass. 'Go home!' yells Skel. The llamas do not stop.
Skel points far off. 'Go!' he yells. 'This is not a game!' The llamas gaze at Skel. They do not go.
At sunup, a big llama mob comes up the path. Big llamas, pink llamas, tiny llamas! They come and come and come.
Zom feeds the pigs at the pen. 'The llamas are bad, Zom!' yells Skel. 'The llamas are safe,' Zom tells Skel. 'Ask me after lunch.'
The llamas munch and graze on the crops. Skel gasps. 'Stop!' he yells. 'Do not munch the crops!'
'I got a plan,' calls Zom. He grabs some ropes and loops them on the llamas. The llamas trot after Zom in a long line, off the farm. 'That is so clever!' yells Skel.
The farm is still. The sun shines on the pond. Skel gazes at it. 'It is very still,' Skel tells a frog. The frog croaks. Skel nods.
The llamas come back at sunup. A big, big mob fills the grass. They stomp and honk. The llamas crave this farm!
'Stop!' yells Skel. 'I am spooky! Go!' Spat! The llamas spit at Skel. Sticky green gunk drops on his face. Skel slips and sits in the goo.
'Skel? Is that Skel?' asks Zom. 'This is not a joke,' Skel tells Zom. Zom grins. 'Come inside, pal,' Zom tells Skel. 'That is a bad smell!'
Inside, Zom dabs the gunk off Skel's bones. He grabs a jar. The jar shines. 'The llamas come back and come back,' Zom tells Skel. 'So we make them help us!' Skel grins. 'Tell me the plan, Zom!'
