All Covered in Cheese.

The placid island of Tejuatanalakalulukauwee rests idly in the intense heat of another tropical day in the Tuyellow Sea. When suddenly, the peace-loving natives of the island are shocked to find that chaos has broken loose. What they thought was just a large hill (or 'Mt. Wapahunakalesh') is in fact an ACTIVE VOLCANO!!!! The villagers panic, but where do you run when you are on a small island surrounded by hundreds of miles of yellow ocean? Families gather together in thatched-roof huts to spend their remaining minutes together. Goodbyes are exchanged. But wait, what's this? Suddenly a bright green dawn of hope appears on the horizon. The people gasp then cheer as giant frosty boulders tumble down the side of their once beloved mountain. They are saved! To this day, Tejuatanalakalulukauwee and her people remain unharmed and going about their daily lives as they have for centuries. However, one important change is readily apparent: A large plastic bag altar that marks the site of the near disaster. And maybe, just maybe, if you're lucky you will run into old Madame Hakkalanai, who will whisper to you the tale of how a bag of Andes mints once cooled the wrath of Mt. Wapahunakalesh's fires, and how the combined forces of brownie mix sand, egg yolk and milk sea, and (of course) a bag of mints came together to create a delicious desert. Which was then quickly eaten.

Hey, they can't all be happy endings.
