Part 3:
Armstrong found himself strolling down the yellow brick road and ran into the stop sign. Except the stop sign did not contain the words stop, it said " You may want to halt if you do not want to get run over by a grand car." Armstrong stopped in confusion and starred for a moment, then he felt a slight tap on his calf. "Hullo!" said the little blue figure standing two feet high. " I am Doodli Gidget Wiz and i am so grand to have met your acquaintance." The blue figure shoved out his hand as if he were threatening Armstrong to give a truce. Armstrong held his hand limply out, still dazed at the blue critter that was no higher then Armstrong's knee cap. " So you Doodili Doo Bop, how may ah help ya'll?" Armstrong exclaimed. " Doodli is abstracting tis brain cell to digest your grand purpose on tis grand place you call "Earth." Armstrong looked even more confused than last time. So he pulled out his trumpet and played a tune. The blue creature covered his ears, or so that's what they looked like at the moment, and he shouted "turn down that grand loud music, it sounds grandly horrifying and it is making Doodli's efernus's obsoletely bleed!" Armstrong placed his trumpet at his side. "Well ya blue thang i find you a bit mighty annoyin with all yous big words comin outta that tiny mouth." Doodli looked up with a glare on his face. He stomped his foot and grew to the exact height that Armstrong was. "Where is your head? You are a grand diamond in the sky if you think to call Doodli grandly annoying! Doodli shall put you in the grand place of putting!" At this moment the sky graduated to a shade of grey and the rain started to sprinkle its way down like leaves floating from the tops of the trees'. "Woah there tiny blue thang i did 'n mean to upset ya. i was just showin ya mah music and ya'll called it racket. My trumpet ain't no thing for playin tennis." The blue creature flamed into the color red and shouted " you grand mule! To think that Doodlie shall call your piece of metal an object to hit a round object with is a grand joker!" Armstrong was too confused to understand the complexity that Doodli was calling him stupid, so he turned around and started to walk the other way down the purple brick road. Doodli called, "Are you in the grand nut house? Tis Grand that you walk away from Doodli! Doodli shall send his brothers down from Zarcranium and turn Armstrong into a walruis. Wait Doodli did not mean to grandly yell at Armstrong! Please come back Doodli needs to know where you have arranged the place known as a bathroom! Doodli needs to empty his tank!" Armstrong was too long gone to hear Doodli and he walked away playing his jazzy tunes down the purple brick road.
