A Scoff an' Scuff's Labrador
The Story of I Ron Ore - 6

Pellets  

Craning my neck, I could see what appeared to be an entrance to a cave. Following other members of my family we started towards the entrance. As we got closer we could see and feel the heat. This was the star attraction of the amusement park: a ride through the heart of an active volcano. The temperature at the center of this ride was 1,260°C (2,300°F); and as we moved through the volcano, we could feel the hot wind on our faces.


This was by far the longest, most exciting ride in the amusement park and lasted about 45 minutes. Emerging from the volcano we are now classed as acid pellets. Isn't that neat, I'm still one hot dude as my temperature is still between 93-148°C (200-300° F). At this point, some of the groups of families were taken off the belt by humans for testing to make sure no imposters had managed to infiltrate the Ore family.

Boom Stacker  

Our time in the amusement park was growing short because there were only a few rides left. From the volcano, we were transported to another vibrating ride, this one over screens. Some of the smaller family fell through and got to return to the beginning for more rides. Family members who met the size requirements were deposited on a fast-moving sidewalk. On the last part of this ride there was a steep incline which shot us off the end and we tumbled down into the pellet stockpile.
