The Adventures of Platypus Dude and other things about him...
“Get into mischief when you’re bored. That's the golden rule to life. If you do that, you are halfway to prankster heaven already!” That’s my motto. I’ve always followed that. Now I’m a changed boy. I brush my teeth every Tuesday! But I still have a little spark inside me waiting to ignite. And I know I’m too old now to run around like a maniac. So, I’ve decided to write down the most important things in this journal. It includes my journey to Madagascar, my adventures with my cat’s yo-yo and even that time I got lost in the forest. You may think this is just an old geezer spouting nonsense but remember one rule as you read: FINISH THE BOOK. By the way, I’m twelve now.”
