What's the Matter with Mr. Krabs?

It was the end of a busy day. Everyone in Bikini Bottom had been working hard. They were pleased and proud. Except Mr. Krabs. He was feeling ill.

SpongeBob: What's the matter with you, Mr. Krabs?

Mr. Krabs: My stomach's grumbling.

SpongeBob: Maybe it's grumbling at you!

Mr. Krabs: That's not funny! You just don't care!

But Mrs. Puff saw that Mr. Krabs was leaving a puddle of water behind. She was worried. The next day, King Acorn arrived.

King Acorn: SpongeBob, Mr. Krabs, Gary, I want you to collect some jellyfish, and take them to the docks.

SpongeBob and Gary: Yes, sir!

Mr. Krabs watched SpongeBob and Gary walk away. He didn't feel well.

Mr. Krabs: Useful people don't complain.

He was leaving water everywhere, as he went toward the yard. When Mrs. Puff saw this, she was more worried than ever. Then, SpongeBob and Gary overtook Mr. Krabs.

Gary: Hurry up, Mr. Krabs!

Mr. Krabs: I can't go any faster.

SpongeBob: You're just being lazy!

By the time SpongeBob and Gary reached the yards, they had a naughty plan.

SpongeBob: Please, sir, Mr. Krabs wants to take more jellyfish.

Gary: He is bigger.

The yard manager agreed. Meanwhile, Mrs. Puff was talking to King Acorn.

Mrs. Puff: Oh, I'm worried about Mr. Krabs!

King Acorn: Perhaps his cells are leaking. You'd better check.

By the time Mr. Krabs reached the yards, SpongeBob and Gary had already left.

Mr. Krabs: Why did SpongeBob and Gary leave me so many jellyfish? They know I'm not feeling well!

Mr. Krabs' operator: We'll still have to take them.

Mr. Krabs walked, and walked, and pulled his long line of jellyfish.

Mr. Krabs' operator: You can do it, Mr. Krabs!

But it was no use. Mr. Krabs ground to a halt. Just then, Mrs. Puff arrived.

Mrs. Puff: Are you alright, Mr. Krabs?

Mr. Krabs: No! I'm stuck!

Mr's Krabs' doctor uncoupled the jellyfish. Mrs. Puff changed paths, and then grabbed onto Mr. Krabs.

Mr. Krabs: Oh, thank you Mr. Krabs!

Mrs. Puff and Mr. Krabs walked into the docks.

King Acorn: Well done, Mrs Puff!

Then, he spoke to Mr. Krabs.

King Acorn: You were brave, Mr. Krabs! You weren't well, but you still tried to pull the jellyfish.

SpongeBob and Gary felt ashamed.

SpongeBob: We're sorry, Mr. Krabs.

Gary: We didn't think you were REALLY sick.

King Acorn: Go back and collect Mr. Krabs' jellyfish.

SpongeBob: Yes, sir.

Soon, Mr. Krabs was cured, and back at work.

Mrs. Puff: You're looking so much better.

Mr. Krabs: Well, they cured my cells, but they didn't even look at my eyes, my nose, my aching head...

Mrs. Puff: All in good time, Mr. Krabs.

Poor Mr. Krabs.
