It was several days since Caramo had left the Mossy Mountains, where he had obtained Dusty, his pet Meowler. The large animal was trotting along beside him. Or rather, he kept trotting ahead of Caramo, then circling back, since he moved a lot faster then the blob.
Caramo was heading towards a Chromillia when something colorful caught his eye. He turned and was amazed to see a large tree which was all the colors of the rainbow. He quickly turned in that direction, hovering just above the ground to speed his travel slightly.
Shortly, Caramo reached the interesting tree. He dropped down from the air (well, if two inches off the ground can be called the air) and rolled up to it. A purple-and-yellow pod was near to him and low to the ground, and Caramo attempted to yank it off the tree. No luck. He called Dusty over, and the Meowler kindly clawed it off the tree, also clawing it open in the process.
The blob look curiously at it. It was split in half, and each half was filled with some sort of liquid. Caramo tasted some of the yellow liquid, then drew back unhappily - it was sour, which was his least favorite flavour of all flavours. He sampled the purple liquid cautiously, and was pleased to discover that it tasted rich and sweet. He drank/ate (he wasn't sure exactly which) the rest of the purple stuff, then looked at the tree again.
Another pod was close to him: this one was purple and blue. He convinced Dusty to claw it down for him too, then tested it. The purple was, once again, sweet! That probably meant that all the colors have flavours. I'll stay away from yellow in the future.
Then Caramo tried the blue, and was delighted to find that it was a savoury-ish flavour! (Savoury was his favorite flavour, so he was very pleased about that.) He finished off the blue, then rolled closer to the tree, feeling satisfied.
Time for a nap.
