One day Shasta was sitting at the breakfast table reading the paper. Harmony was watching tv. Icy and Frosty were eating. 

There was a carnival in town that day and Shasta had already decided that they were going. When everyone was finished, they went. There were rainbow striped tents, cotton candy stands, and many different kinds of rides. The only problem was that it was hot. They saw a tent giving away free fans, so they grabbed some and fanned away. Then they tried to figure out what to ride.

Meanwhile, on the overlooking hilltops, a slimy green iguana stood, watching the carnival. He wasn't the fun type. His name was Lime. He liked to commit crimes. There was a girls' club in town and all Lime ever dreamed of was knocking out the manager. He had never succeeded. That's why he sometimes knocked out every girl that crossed his path. Most girls knew what was coming, so they ran away.

Lime was a crook. And he was going to do something very bad to the carnival.

First he took out a bag. Wearing a dog disguise, he headed into the carnival with the bag around his neck. Nobody had a clue that he was Lime. When he reached the ferris wheel, Icy and Frosty were just about to get on. He placed a device near the entrance.

Suddenly, somebody stepped on Lime's tail and his costume fell off. Someone screamed, and Lime fled. That's when Shasta spotted the bomb planted by the ferris wheel. She grabbed the pups and ran just before it exploded.

Little kids started to cry because it was damaged. The kiddy adults were sad, too. No one could beleive that Lime had dared to do something like that. But he wasn't finished with the carnival yet.

Dressed as a cat, he waltzed back into the park, lit a torch, and started setting tents on fire. Shasta and the pups were in one at the time. When she saw the smoke she quickly pulled the pups out and brought them to a kiddy roller coaster.

Lime had already placed a bomb there, though. When Shasta saw it, she didn't let the pups get on. 

Lime liked explosions. He ended up placing a bomb behind every single ride. When he was setting his last bomb, a dog stepped on his tail and he was revealed again! Lime fled, but at that moment the rides exploded.

When it cleared, Shasta looked around. The tents and cotton candy stands were burnt, and rubble was falling from the sky. Shasta said, "This carnival is too dangerous." She gathered the family and they went home.

Icy told Frosty, "I didn't like having the rides gone, but I sure do like explosions."
