Mr. Mod-Ex was a silly man with a VERY important dream. He wanted, more than ANYTHING in the world, a gold toilet! Not just any gold toilet, though. Mr. Mod-Ex wanted the GOLDEN throne. It sparkled. It shimmered. It even sang! But most importantly...it was worth MILLIONS!
You see, Mr. Mod-Ex had his eye on two very special somethings. He wanted the newest, shiniest PS5. And a phone! Not just any phone... the iPhone 20! He would be the coolest man in town with those treasures! But alas, they were much too expensive.
Mr. Mod-Ex knew what he had to do. First, he had to FIND that Golden Throne! He packed his lucky socks (they were polka-dotted) and a magnifying glass. Mr. Mod-Ex was ready for an adventure!
He journeyed over mountains...that looked suspiciously like giant potatoes. He trekked through forests...that tickled his nose with the scent of freshly baked cookies! Mr. Mod-Ex even sailed across a giant bathtub...filled with rubber duckies!
Finally, after many silly adventures, he reached a cave. A sign outside read: "Beware the Bubbling Bathwater!" Mr. Mod-Ex, brave as could be (or maybe just a little bit scared), took a deep breath and stepped inside.
Inside, everything glittered! Bubbles floated through the air, each one reflecting a rainbow of colors. And in the center, sitting on a pedestal of soap bars...was the Golden Throne!
"Eureka!" cried Mr. Mod-Ex, his eyes wide with wonder. He had found it! He carefully climbed the soap bar pedestal and...GULP...sat upon the Golden Throne. But something strange happened!
The throne started to shake! It rumbled and grumbled like Mr. Mod-Ex's tummy after eating too many tacos! The bubbles spun faster and faster, forming a giant, soapy cyclone around Mr. Mod-Ex. And then...POOF!
Mr. Mod-Ex found himself back at home, sitting on his very normal, very NOT golden toilet. "Was it all a dream?" he wondered, scratching his head. He looked down at his hands...and there, clutched tight, was a single, shiny, GOLDEN bolt!
It must have fallen off the Golden Throne! Mr. Mod-Ex smiled. He may not have the whole throne, but this little bolt was still worth a LOT! He could finally get his PS5 AND the iPhone 20! Mr. Mod-Ex danced a jig, happy as a clam in a bubble bath.
Meanwhile, Mr. Indy, who always copied Mr. Mod-Ex, heard about the Golden Throne adventure. He rushed to the cave, eager to find the treasure. But all he found was...a very normal, very NOT golden toilet.
Mr. Indy stomped his feet and frowned. "This isn't fair!" he grumbled. He stormed back to Mr. Mod-Ex's house, fuming with envy. He saw Mr. Mod-Ex showing off his brand new PS5 and iPhone 20 to all their friends.
Blinded by jealousy, Mr. Indy grabbed Mr. Mod-Ex's head and dunked it right into the toilet! "Ha! Now who's got the golden experience!" he cackled. Mr. Mod-Ex sputtered, but then he started to laugh. It was just plain silly! And besides, he had his PS5 and iPhone 20. What could be better than that?
