Lord of the Dough-Rings

Franko Billypants examined the lovely ring in his hand. Its delightful glaze gave off an aroma that spoke of the great bakeries in the great Mount Baker. "Cousin Billyboy left me this?" he asked the elderly Gray Ralph who had come into his little bakery on the edge of Flopitown. "Why didn't he just eat it?"

"It's much too dangerous to eat," said Gray Ralph, bunching up his dark eyebrows. "You see, whoever eats one of the Doughnuts of Despair cannot stop eating doughnuts, and soon cannot stop eating anything else either! Soon they will be under the control of Lard Sorgham utterly! This doughnut was baked in the dreadful bakeries by the dreaded Lard Sorgham! It's part of his evil plot take over the world by enslaving everyone with his Doughnuts of Despair!"

"What must I do?" asked Franko in terror. "I'm already feeling the temptation to eat this!"

"It must be taken to the ovens in Mount Baker and thrown in!" said Gray Ralph urgently. "Leave it here for now. We must go to your cousin Billyboy's farewell party."
