Benny the Bouncing Burrito

7 min 31 sec

In the cheerful town of Tastyville, where every food had feelings and every snack had a smile, there lived a plump little burrito named Benny.
Benny was wrapped so snugly in his soft flour tortilla that he felt like a cozy sleeping bag stuffed with beans, cheese, and a sprinkle of laughter.

Every morning he rolled out of bed, which was really a lettuce leaf, and practiced his favorite trick: rolling himself up tighter than a drum.
He tucked in his beans, folded his cheese, and pulled his tortilla edges until he looked like a perfect silver swirl.

Then he gave a happy wriggle and sang, “Tighter I go, the higher I’ll bounce, watch me zoom, watch me pounce!”
One bright Tuesday, when the salsa sun was shining extra spicy, Benny decided to tighten up more than ever before.

He twisted left, he twisted right, he even did a tiny burrito hiccup that helped squeeze everything together.
Suddenly, POP!

He snapped into such a perfect ball that he tipped off the kitchen counter and began to roll.
At first he rolled slowly, like a marble made of beans, but the counter had a gentle slope toward the open window.

Out he went, into the big wide world beyond the café.
Down the street he tumbled, past Mr.

Taco, who waved a lettuce leaf in surprise, past Ms.
Quesadilla, who gasped and dropped her cheese.

Benny could not stop; he was a burrito on a mission, round and proud.
Every pebble he hit made him bounce higher, every crack in the sidewalk sent him springing like a pinto bean basketball.

Children playing hopscotch squealed with delight as Benny zoomed between their chalk squares, leaving a neat trail of glittering cheese dust.
A skateboarding pickle tried to race him, but Benny bounced faster, giggling so hard that a few beans jiggled inside.

He zipped past the library where quiet muffins studied crumbs of knowledge, past the park where dancing donuts twirled on their frosting.
Each bounce made Benny feel lighter, as if he were filled with giggles instead of guacamole.

He sailed over a startled hot dog vendor who shouted, “Hey, slow down, little wrap!”
but Benny could only giggle, “Bouncy burrito coming through!”

The town square fountain lay ahead, its water sparkling like lemonade.
Benny took one mighty leap, curled even tighter, and SPLASH landed right in the middle of the cool pool.

For a moment he floated like a tiny edible moon, drifting among coins and lily pads shaped like lettuce.
Fish shaped like french fries nibbled his tortilla, tasting a hint of cumin and joy.

Benny laughed, because being a burrito fountain ornament was actually quite pleasant, but he wanted to keep bouncing.
With a wiggle and a squish, he rolled up the side of the fountain, water dripping off his shiny wrap, and POP he bounced back onto the street.

Now the road tilted downward toward the market, where pyramids of oranges and apples stood like sun colored castles.
Benny zoomed between the fruit stacks, causing a gentle rain of oranges that the townsfolk caught in their hats.

Shoppers laughed instead of scolding, because in Tastyville, surprises were considered extra seasoning.
A wise old pretzel vendor twirled his salty beard and declared, “That burrito has discovered the secret ingredient of life: bounce!”

Benny heard the compliment and puffed with pride, which made him even rounder.
He zipped past the pretzel stand, past barrels of pickles doing backstrokes in brine, past sugar cubes building tiny castles.

Each sight made him laugh so hard that little puffs of cheese clouds floated out of his seams and drifted into the sky, where seagulls snapped them up like tasty puffs of happiness.
Onward he rolled, faster and faster, until he reached the edge of town where the pavement turned into soft green hills.

The hills were actually giant scoops of guacamole, smooth and springy, perfect for a bouncing burrito.
Benny launched himself up the first hill and discovered he could bounce higher on guac than on sidewalk.

Up he sprang, higher than the café roof, higher than the salsa sun at noon, until he could see all of Tastyville spread below like a colorful buffet.
From up there he spotted his little café home, its chimney puffing steam that smelled like warm tortillas.

He suddenly missed his cozy cot, his friends, and the gentle sizzle of the griddle that sang lullabies to every burrito at night.
But how could a round bouncing bean ball get down from a guacamole hill without tumbling into the great unknown?

Benny took a deep breath, smelled the distant cilantro clouds, and decided to bounce in a new direction: toward home.
He angled his tortilla like a rudder, which is tricky when you are basically a circle, and gave a determined wriggle.

Down the hill he bounded, each bounce softer than the last, like a beanbag learning to tiptoe.
He passed a family of picnic ants who cheered and held up tiny flags made of celery sticks.

He rolled past a lemonade lake where ducks made of marshmallows quacked rhythms that sounded like “Bounce in peace, little bean bundle.”
Each friendly sight filled Benny with warm melted cheese feelings, and he knew the town loved him back.

By the time he reached the bottom of the hill, his bounces were gentle hops, like a jellybean skipping rope.
He rolled onto the sidewalk, past the now familiar crack that had first launched him, and through the café door which chimed a welcome on a cheddar shaped bell.

Inside, his burrito buddies rushed to greet him, wrapping him in warm tortilla hugs.
They laughed at his adventure, sprinkled extra cheese on his wrap like medals, and sat him on a soft cushion of rice.

Benny told them every detail, from fountain splash to guacamole hill, and whenever he said the word “bounce,” everyone hopped in place, making the whole café feel like a bowl of giggling chili.
That night, as the salsa moon rose and the griddle hummed a lullaby about beans who dared to dream, Benny curled under his lettuce leaf blanket.

He was still perfectly round, still perfectly tight, but now he knew the world outside was full of friendly flavors waiting to be explored.
He closed his eyes, gave a tiny burrito smile, and whispered, “Tomorrow I’ll bounce again, but tonight I roll into sleepy cheese clouds.”

And somewhere between the quiet sizzle of the stove and the soft snores of snoozing snacks, Benny dreamed of streets made of springy tortillas and fountains full of melted queso, where every bounce brought joy and every roll brought home.
