      One lazy afternoon, Spencer Rattler and Drake Stoops were sitting on campus at OU with nothing to do. Drake was reading the football playbook and Spencer was bored just watching the squirrels run by. Out of nowhere, Spencer sees Boomer and Sooner run by them and up the South Oval. They were looking at their wristwatches saying that they were going to be late. Spencer was confused because usually, they don't talk. Drake had his head so deep in the playbook that he didn't even notice them run by. What might they have to be late for? He decides to get up and follow them. They run and jump inside a hole at the top of the South Oval outside of the Bizzell Memorial Library. With nothing better to do that day, he decides to take a leap of faith (literally) and follow them in.      Spencer begins to fall for what seems like forever. It's mostly dark, but he is able to make out what objects are falling around him. He sees football gear, jerseys, locker room sn...

        There was once a magical rock in the land of Wynnewood, where a tiger was born of stone.  He had magical powers that sprang from that rock which shone all the way to the heavens. The tiger grew up and met other tigers in Wynnewood, until one day they stumbled upon a waterfall. The tigers agreed that whoever could cross the waterfall without being injured would be the Tiger King. The stone tiger volunteered himself, and on the other side of that waterfall, he found a cave where everything was made of stone. The other tigers named him the Tiger King and he ruled the land of Wynnewood.     One day, the tigers were sitting at the dinner table when the Tiger King began to weep because he feared death. All the tigers began to cry, as they feared death too. An old tiger spoke up, "You may seek immortality from the Gods and live forever among them."       The Tiger King decided at that moment that he would leave Wynnewood to se...

The potato king made a sacrifice to the god of foods so that he may have a son. The gods afforded him 4 sons, and one of the sons was a perfect french fry.     A prince of the tomato kingdom came to the potato kingdom and told the potato king that the forest broccoli demons were invading the tomato kingdom and destroying their sacrifices to the food gods. So the french fry prince and the tomato kingdom prince set out through the forest where they encountered many broccoli demons, but the french fry prince was able to slay them all with enchanted weapons. When they arrived at the tomato kingdom, the french fry drove all the demons out with his weapons. The tomato king saw that he was powerful, so he told the french fry prince about the tale of the pretzel stick. It was the most powerful weapon in a...

     The goomba thieves feasted in the night with food supplied from Rosalina before they began their journey. They trek across a stream where they stop to drink and continue to the village. The Goombas arrive at the home of a young princess and steal her into the night as quickly as they came. Once they arrive back at the cave where they all home, the princess cries endlessly and laments her separation from her dearest family. As the princess will not eat or sleep, Rosalina attempts to console her. Rosalina becomes angry that she will not quit crying, therefore she inquires what is making her so upset.  She said, "Today was my wedding day.

Rosalina replied, "Let me divert your attention from your troubles by telling you a story" In a royal city far away, the King and Queen had three daughters. Birdo and Toadette, who were beautiful, and Princess Peac...
