Bug Bites

“Okay! Gonta will be gentleman and help man move boxes!” Gonta was rather bulky and tall. So this would be easy for him. Gonta picked up three large boxes and smiled. “Where will Gonta put boxes?”

“Hello! May Gonta help you with that?”

I felt that

“Gonta be at Area 51! Gonta hopes friends join Gonta to free aliens!”

“Gonta no have beetle.” Gonta put the bug in the bug carrier he usually has slung around his body. “Gonta got a big cockroach. Cockroach is pregnant. Cockroach won't survive in school. Gonta take cockroach to forest after school.”

“Can Gonta help you with anything? Is Gonta in your way?”

“Will Taka have lunch with Gonta today?” Gonta said politely. “Gonta want to catch up with Taka. It's been so long.” Gonta smiled. “After lunch, we can go to Gonta’s door room and talk. Gonta know Taka doesn't talk much. That's okay!”

“Lunch? What is lunch today?” Gonta sat down on a chair. His feet were bruised up from being in the forest for so long. I mean, he doesn't wear shoes. “Gonta saw lots of cool bugs when lost. Gonta saw bugs Gonta never sees at school.”

“Silly Taka!” Gonta let out a hearty chuckle. “Gonta raised by wolves, remember? Gonta fine in forest. But...Gonta need shower. Gonta only took baths in river water. Gonta also need food.”

“Taka?” Oh! One of Gonta’s only friends! It's great to see him again! “Gonta got lost in woods, Gonta missed Taka!”

“Gonta still here! Anyone miss Gonta?”
