Chapter #6
Run in and tell the shop owner!
by: Unknown
This shop owner was going to lose a ton of money (and juice!) if Knuckles just left the juice dispenser alone like this! He had to do something!
"Uh, excuse me..." said Knuckles, stumbling into the store. "What is it?" asked the shopkeeper, sitting behind the desk.
"The juice dispenser outside won't stop... it just keeps pouring juice..."
"Oh geez..." murmured the shopkeeper. "Listen, that juice is going to pour all over the place if it's left alone. Could you perhaps drink it up to keep it from spilling while I call a mechanic? I'll pay you back afterwards."
"No problem," said Knuckles, and he went outside, beginning to chug the liquid as it continued to pour.
The shopkeeper called a mechanic, and after telling him about the situation, he hung up and went outside to where Knuckles was continuing to chug the juice down. "Bad news," he told Knuckles. "The mechanic won't be here for about an hour. Do you think you can keep drinking this stuff until then, or should I just plug it up?"
Knuckles took his mouth off the dispenser for a second to say, "I'm good here. You just need to keep a look out for the mechanic."
"Will do," the shopkeeper said, and Knuckles nodded and put his mouth back over the dispenser. He was starting to look a bit full, but the shopkeeper payed it no mind and just sat down on a bench outside the shop.
What did Knuckles look like by the time the mechanic finally arrived an hour later?
