Nutty had an inclination for tricks and was known all through the town for his trickeries. One bright morning, Nutty concocted a splendid strategy. He chose to arrange the very first "Squirrel Olympics" to give pleasure and giggling to the creature inhabitants of Chuckleville. Nutty realized it would be silly to watch the squirrels endeavor different entertaining games. Word spread like quickly, and soon every one of the squirrels around were occupied with planning for the enormous occasion. Nutty, being the instigator, thought of a lot of wacky contests.

  Title: "The Legend of K'Chibo: The Last Warrior of the Ebony Sands". Publisher: Harper Collins Publishers. Chapter 1: The Mark of the Exile The winds whistled through the Ebony Sands and swept the echoes of some ancient war. His dark skin shone in the twin suns, and K’Chibo, who was hungry enough to eat a meal every three days, knelt beside the corpse of a sand serpent—his only food in three days. His ragged tribal scars hollowed into his face, charred under the sun, a constant reminder of his banishment. The elders had spat before driving him out, saying, "You were never supposed to be one of us." His crime? Protecting a baseborn child against a son of a chieftain. The late great warrior was now Hak'tua—a ghost-walker who must be wandering the dunes until his bones are stripped by the vultures. But fate had other plans. Chapter 2: The Whispering Ruins. K'Chibo was swept away by a storm into the remnants of the Old Ones. When he pawed his way through t...
