Quick Wit
“You look like you have a shaky dentist” Samuel bellowed, after being angered by another boy: Grubert, who was a general obnoxious idiot. He had an ugly piggy little face with buck teeth that stuck out of his face like he was constantly trying to bite someone. After the statement, Grubert stared in disbelief at Samuel.
“Say that AGAIN!?” Grubert demanded.
“No, I’ll carry on.” Samuel said calmly. “Your mouth looks like the inside of a cave. Have you evolved from a beaver?”
Grubert clenched his fat fists and charged at Samuel, and all of his weight (which was a lot) came crashing towards the quick witted boy, who promptly dashed out of the way. Grubert was sent crashing into a wall.
“I’m honestly surprised that you didn’t break that wall there, mate.” Samuel teased, a broad smile spreading across his face. People behind them burst out in laughter to see the podgy Grubert crumpled up against the wall, chubby limbs poking out and a dazed expression on his face.
“He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, is he? He’s just trying to figure out who put that wall there! What an idiot!” Samuel remarked, plodding off, leaving Grubert against the wall.
