In the morning the five baby cookies were crying softly in their sack hanging from the ceiling of the cave.
Chuckles said, "Shut Up! Shut up cookies!"
But this only made the cookies cry louder.
"Shut up or I will rip out your chips!" Chuckles yelled.
The cookies cried some more but one of them said, "If you kill us you have no protection or ransom. The police will kill you dead for sure."
Chuckles thought about this and said, "Shut Up, I said!"
The cookies cried some more and then the same one said, "We’re hungry and thirsty."
Chuckles stomped around the cave and cursed under his breath, but finally let the cookies out of the sack.
"Eat some pebbles." he said.
"We can’t eat pebbles we need cookie food."
"Well I don't know what baby cookies eat." said Chuckles, "And I need to know your names so I can yell at you better."
"We don’t have names only numbers." said the speaker of the group, "Our parents were too exhausted to think of names for 100 baby cookies."
"OK – what are your numbers."
The spokes-cookie said, "That’s 17, 18, 37, 91, and I’m 1 Billion 4."
."Goodness," said Chuckles, "I thought there were only 100."
"There are," said 1,000,000,004, "My parents let me number myself. I was born last, so I chose the highest number I could think of."
"Well I can’t call you that so I'm going to call you little Bill. Now, tell me what baby cookies eat."
"Oh," said 1,000,000,4, "That’s easy. We eat acorns and dandelion fluff milk."
"Acorns and dandelion fluff milk!? What the heck is dandelion fluff milk? I never heard of that. Can we get that around here?"
"Well, you can get the ingredients around here." said little bill
