Dear readers,
Milo, Tock and the Humbug were working on
the assignments that the gentleman gave them, but then Milo realizes that
it would take them forever to finish their tasks and he uses his magic wand
that he got from the mathematician to calculate how long it would take
them: Exactly 837 years. Milo tells the gentleman that it will take
forever to finish there jobs and he asks "Why are we doing useless jobs
anyway?." 
The Gentleman gets really frustrated
and mad and then Milo, Tock and the Humbug discover who he really
is: The Terrible Trivium,"demon of petty tasks and worthless
jobs, ogre of wasted effort, monster of habit." They were
so frighted and scared and they started running away from
him because The Terrible Trivium was chasing them! While Milo,
Tock and the Humbug were running they heard a voice giving them advice, go
left, go right the voice said. And suddenly all three of them fell into a pit
and they were safe until they heard the voice again, laughing. "Who are
you?" Milo questioned. The voice introduced himself as the
brave,big,handsome,amazing "one of the most frightening fiends in this
whole wild wilderness". Tock and the Humbug cower in fear, but then Milo
pulls out his telescope he got. Milo takes a closer look at
the Demon of Insincerity and discovers that he is a small,
pathetic-looking animal. Crushed by this, the demon leaves into tears!
Tock,
Milo and the Humbug continue their journey, and they stop to take a
rest and they find themselves in the palm of the Gelatinous
Giant. He suposingly has no shape at all so he pretends to
be many things such as mountains, sand on the beach etc... He wanted to
eat Milo since he was very hungry. The Gelatinous Giant explains that he
is very shy and scared of everything especially words. Milo
couldn't believe that someone that big was scared of something like
that, so to shoo the monster away he got out his bag of words from Azaz and the
monster ran away of fear!
As
they continue their journey it seems that many demons have heard the news and
suddenly a whole gang, or group of scary, big ugly demons:monsters was chasing
them. As they ran away from the demons they notice the staircase that leads to
reasons and rhymes castle. They climb the stairs when they
notice a man with a book. The man was a sound keeper, he asked them all sorts
of questions and put all the answers in his book. They became so
caught up in the question game that they forgot that they
were being chased. Milo drooped the bag of sounds that
the Sound keeper gave him. The package breaks open and
explodes with laughter, pulling Milo from his trance since humor is the one sense
the Senses Taker cannot seize.Then all three of them continue running and they
get to the castle: were they meat princess rhyme and princess reason.
Milo apologizes for being late and he explains all the
conditions. While all six of them were talking....
The
demons started breaking, cutting destroying the staircase and they broke
the staircase that leads to the castle! The castle suddenly started
going higher and higher (flying). Then Milo, and the humbug
and the princess got on Tocks back, because he can fly (time fly's get it
hahah) and all of them get on the ground. But a "war began" The
demons start attacking them, but good thing that the other people joined in
(all the people from Dicitnopolis and ....) they helped Milo, Tock, princess
etc.. Defeat the monsters! 
They all
made a big celebration and everyone thanked Milo, Tock and the humbug for
rescuing the princess. Than on the third day of the celebration, the
celebration ended and Milo had to go home. Tock had to stay there and keep
watch on time and the humbug also needed to stay. Milo felt sad and he got home
in his polished car! Then he found him self in his
room, he felt sad because his journey was over but he discover
that ONLY 1 HOUR HAD PASTED AND HE WAS AMAZED BY WHAT HE COULD DO JUST IN 1
HOUR.
Milo
the next day after school ran into his room, and went to were
the tollbooth usually stood. He was so disappointed there
was no tollbooth and the only thing he could see was a
big blue envelope on his desk! This is what it said:
Dear Milo,
There are many other kids
who are bored and who need the tool booth, there are many things in life you
can do and I hope you learned that now!
-And a signature Milo couldn't understand
Milo spend the rest of his days doing many things,
he barely had time for anything and he realized that
life actually wasn't boring. That it was full of places he still had to
visit, and knowledge he still had to learn! THE END :D
AND MILO LIVED!
