The narrator tells us that today is the day of a photo contest at the beach. It's a day when you can submit a picture to the contest, but only one picture will be accepted. The narrator says that he's going to take a picture of his friend, scrump, because she's his "really special friend" , and he wants to make sure that he doesn't lose her to the "lit tle brat" . He tells the narrator to "snort" to avoid losing to that "lit brat," and to "snap funny" to go for the picture. He also tells her not to move the picture too much, because it's too heavy, and not to "cause any trouble" by moving it too quickly. He says that they don't need a "subma rine" to treat a cold, but they do need something to help them walk or even to cough. He's so relieved that he decides to submit the picture, even though he knows that it'll be too heavy.
