Flub’s Fun Facts:

• Birthday: June 7, 2008
• Birthplace: South Carolina
• I am chubby and have a suction cup hat

When I was still a little pear I fell out of my tree. Though I was lucky I didn’t get badly hurt (only 2 bruises and lots of minor scratches). One of my scratches is shaped like an A+. My pear friend is Roxanne. She fell out of the tree at the exact same time as me. My hat is crooked. I am shinny and I don’t have a tattoo. My family fell out of the tree before me and got picked up and got eaten by this big hideous thing that I still can’t name. For a long time I lived at Loblaws but I got bought and now live in portable six with my owner. Now I have travelled to portable 3 to write my autobiography. My butt is bumpy and it is shaped like a cake dish. I am happy to have my best friend and some of my brothers and sisters here with me. I have a dark mark about a quarter of a way around me starting at my sunburn. I got my sunburn from the Cayman Islands. It is 7cm wide and 6cm tall. It is permanent and will never ever come off. My favourite food is sugar water. My favourite sport is soccer. I play competitive. I am scared of being eaten like my family was by the Unspeakable Creature. Eating pear is mean.

I’m from the U.S.A. I grew up there in Stillwater Orchard. I am still young, a little bit yellow. I have a very long neck and a fat body. I am 17 years old, and my brother was 15. He was eaten, it was really sad. I grew up in a large pear tree on the corner of Oak Street. I stayed there for 16 years. I was very popular in school, I went to Fruit Elementary, and I loved to play basketball. My favourite food is pizza…yum. One day I was sitting happily in my tree when I felt something grabbing me. All of a sudden I found myself being put into a box! I was very scared, that’s how I got all those brown scars on me. When I woke up the next morning, I found myself with my own kind but I was in a huge room. It was very noisy. Then I felt myself being picked up again, and being thrown into something very hard and silver. It was a very bumpy ride. Then about 5 minutes later I was thrust under a red light. It just about blinded me. I was put in another bag and went on another wild ride, then I was put in something cold. an apple beside me told me this wasn’t a happy place. I didn’t sleep at all that night, I was really scared. I think I passed out because now I find myself in a warm environment with my parents. The place if filled with noise but it is soothing. Yet only at night, I can run around, and play basketball when no one else surrounds me. Everything changed but I’m happy. This is my life.
