Yoshi's Island. (pg 4)

Baby Mario happily bounced from cloud to cloud, and then through the trees of Yoshi's Island being caught and supported easily by large leaves and then lightly plopping down on the back of a yoshi, who had ran around franticly for five to ten minutes trying to be in the right spot where the baby would fall. This yoshi was the green one simply called "Yoshi"
All of the yoshis were amazed at this new thing. It reminded them of their own baby yoshis the way it was so small and cute, and because of how stupid it was. So they called it a baby. They decided that even though it was clearly some kind of thing that was much uglier than yoshis, they would take care of it. Just as a dark blue yoshi was about to suggest that maybe they could eat it instead a white yoshi jumped down from the trees above.
"That's him!" it shouted.
"What's him?" asked Yoshi.
"That's the little red person I just saw fall from the sky! He was being carried by the stork!" he exclaimed. The yoshis were all surprised. That meant that this was one of the people from the other lands around Yoshi's Island.
"Is he dangerous?" asked a brown yoshi.
"No!" exclaimed Yoshi "How can he be?! We already decided he's a baby!"
"Oh, yeah, that's true... so what should we do with it? It's not ours, afterall."
Yoshi's lip quivered a little, but then he pulled himself together. "That's true. He's not." he said, more to convince himself than anything else. "So what do we think we should do?"
"Let's take it back to it's parents!" exclaimed a pink yoshi! The suggestion met with shouts of joy and agreement from all the yoshis, and then commenced dancing and subsequent frolicing.
"Wait a minute," interrupted the black yoshi "how can we take it back to it's parents? We don't know who they are."
The dancing and frolicing came to an end as all the yoshis again went into deep thought. "True..." started Yoshi, as he thought this all over "but the stork does!"
"Nor do we know where the stork is, now do we?" came the logical response from the black yoshi.
"I do." Everyone turned in awe at the white yoshi who had said this much to the surprise of them all. The white yoshi sent a big grin at the black yoshi, who everyone had turned their backs on to huddle around this new speaker offering hope. The black yoshi simply laughed quietly to himself and joined in the back of the huddle because in all truth he too was interested in helping the baby human.
"I saw what happed up there when the stork dropped the baby. It wasn't his fault! He was attacked!" The yoshis were sent into an uproar, but the white one calmed them down again "Now, now... It was a koopa that attacked him and after he did, his bad friends put the stork into a bag, and they flew away."
The yoshis were horrified at such bad things! "Why did they take him?! And where!?" they all wanted to know.
"I've been a few other places besides Yoshi's Island, and I'm not sure at all why they would want to steal the stork, but one thing I do know is that the way they went was towards the Koopa Kingdom..."
The yoshis all began to talk excitedly in whispers amongst eachother about such a scary place. No one was sure what to do.
Then suddenly the green yoshi called Yoshi exclaimed to them all "LOOK! He has the storks map!!" Sure enough, the baby Mario had in his hands a map that not only showed the way to the house where his parents would live - essential information to the stork - but also much more of the world that they would be exploring. The other yoshis were thrilled, and a buzz of excitment began. It was clear to them all that this was a good sign that they would have to do something with this little one.
"Well," Began Yoshi, "the way to the Koopa Kingdom is on this map! So then, we have to go to the Koopa Kingdom, rescue the stork, and let it finish it's job and take this red-hat baby home!"
All the yoshis were stirred by such a brave and selfless proposal and after shouts of agreement, dances of merriment, a good party with cake and ice cream, and a relaxing nights rest, many joined Yoshi on this quest.
The journey was a long and perilous one, and it was often dificult to protect the little Baby Mario that they always let ride on their backs, but eventualy the yoshis arrived at the door to the castle of Kamek in the Koopa Kingdom.
