In the charming little state of Vermont, known for its maple syrup and stunning autumn leaves, there's an energetic tribe of karate kids. These kids hail from all over the state, from the bustling neighborhoods of Burlington to the peaceful meadows of Stowe. Known for their swift kicks, sharp chops and spectacular somersaults, they're like the superhero squad of the Green Mountain State. Now, let me introduce you to the unofficial leader of this vibrant bunch, a boy with a wild imagination and an even wilder sense of humor, Franklin "Funnybone" Fitzgerald. Funnybone, as everyone calls him, is not your average karate kid. He's got a laugh as powerful as his roundhouse kick, and his mischievous antics could even make a grizzly bear giggle. Funnybone, with his buzz cut hair that looks like an overgrown lawn, and freckles sprinkled across his cheeks like constellations, is a sight to behold when he’s in action. He would often say, "My moves are so sharp they could slice through a block of Vermont cheddar!" This Vermont karate crew, with Funnybone leading the charge, is a legendary group of kids, ready to swing into action whenever there's a need for some good old fun and laughter. And while they're not busy fighting invisible villains or perfecting their 'Crane Kick,' they might be seen riding their bikes, throwing snowballs or jumping into piles of crunchy fall leaves. In Vermont, these karate kids are more than just champions of the dojo, they’re also champions of fun, adventure and sheer silliness.
