The Great Escape

It was a yellow submarine with no periscope. And it was sitting on top of a big whale named Moby Richard. Hiram then called the Ocean Patrol who arrived 12 minutes later to shoo the whale away. All aboard the submarine survived the ordeal.

Just then the whale surfaced and pulled poor Snorkey under; Snorkey would never think of water the same way again. As for the captives, they ran while Snorkey was submerged.
