Jedi Stories: episode #11 Bantha Raids
The Bantha’s all around Mr. Bantha are discussing what just went on. What just went on was the event of Bantha Raids. Two very young Bantha brothers went with Mr. Bantha to some farmers farm and raided it. They didn’t know they were ruining the Farmer’s crop when they did it, they only did it because they knew the farmers hated it. Bantha Raids are when they go and poop on crops. A man named Owen Kenobi owned this one farm that they had decided to raid. Anyway, Mr. Bantha lead the band on his three legs. He had long ago lost a leg....he prefers not to think of it. Just put it this way, he hates all Wookiees! It was a Wookiee (a Wook as they’re sometimes called) who had chopped the leg off with some strange weapon. Mr. Bantha said, “All right, I hope those beans we ate did us some credit. Fart, boys on the count of 3. One, two, three.” “Fhuhhh!” Owen heard the noise and raced to his window. He had no time to call in the authorities. Mr. Bantha then called all the female banthas to poop. Then asked the males to. Then they all turned around and ate it. “Um, delicious dung! Mine was nice and plumpy today!” said one Bantha. The two younger Banthas that had gone along were named Bantha Joe and Bantha Bob. When all the Banthas left, there was a tiny, baby bantha who had refused to participate in the raid and had been brought to the farm against it’s will. It was crying. All the other banthas had abandoned it. There was something different about it. It was a shame and a disgrace to the banthas to let it live with them. They just left it at the farm, hoping it would die. Every once in a while there was a bantha like this born and they always left it to die as soon as possible after it’s birth. Owen called the authorities to complain about the raid. After he was done, he went outside to see what kind of damage they had done. They had ruined his entire crop! He saw the baby bantha then. He felt sorry for it. He picked it up. He smelled it’s behind and noted that it did not smell (as he knew it would if it had taken part in the raids. Banthas stink for a long time after they did.) Owen picked it up by the scruff of it’s neck. IT was kind of cute. He took it inside his house and made it a very special pet. He intended to raise it right! He named it Bantha Sam. Now Own had had a family, but his wife had since left the planet for a business trip and his boy, also named Owen was 5 years old. Now, also the gwythaints were meeting to discuss things about the Maurders. The Maurders are speaking in their own language right now, but I’ll have it appear in Basic for efficiency and understanding, easier. The Leader of the Gwythaints, Gwythaint Leader looked at his fellow gwythaints. “Are you sure you heard that?” Until next time!
