RE: Tonguewizard And The Journey For The Perfect Instrument

The first idea that came to mind was Jello Brand Birdseed, which was Archibald Nemesis' favorite snack. But Tonguewizard knew it had been discontinued weeks ago, and he was unlikely to find any here. A quick glance a few obstacles ahead revealed a jetski, confirming his fears.
Suddenly, Bill Cosby leaned in close to Archibald Nemesis' brush-face, and started quacking (awkwardly, because he didn't have a tongue) sweet nothings.
"I love you too, Bill Cosby!" Archibald declared, kissing him somehow. "Our combined love can conquer anything! Even Tonguewizard!"
Tonguewizard was worried. The power of love was almost unstoppable. And he had a strange sense that something was wrong.
Then he remembered his beard.
Tonguewizard's beard was filled with canon. If his hunch was right... He carefully reached into it, and pulled a piece of canon out, flinging it at the happy couple.
Archibald Nemesis and Bill Cosby recoiled in terror. Of course! According to canon, they couldn't stand each other! And that moment of revulsion was exactly the distraction Tonguewizard needed.
In one swift motion, Tonguewizard grabbed the grappling hook obstacle off the ceiling, and swung it at the pebble on Bill Cosby's beak. He shoved the pebble in his Boot of Travel and put it on. Now the floor was no match for him!
As Archibald and Cosby continued to bicker, Tonguewizard hopped across the half-pipe, inched by the idol, jumped over the jetski, and kicked the kissing booth aside. Before him stood the ladder.
He picked it up and moved it towards the zipline, scrambled to the top, and then rode his Boot of Travel all the way along, landing at the door. He rushed through, and a stone slab rose up behind him, locking him in.
And then Tonguewizard saw it. The Theremin. One look at it made him realize that it was the perfect instrument.
But the angered Theremind stood before him, too. And it had prepared a fearsome challenge for Tonguewizard. One even more daunting than all the trials he had faced before.
