Frank Lane, age 6, of Newburg, NY, had spent the afternoon searching for his favorite photo, the one with Sharon and Tina. But he couldn't find it anywhere. Frank slumped into a chair to watch TV. On the screen, Daffy Duck was being blasted with tennis balls. "This should be funny," he said.
Suddenly, the lampshade next to Frank began to shake. papers and magazines swirled around the room.
"It's a twister!" Frank yelled. "Right here in Newburg, NY!"

Frank watched with amazement as everything spun around the room. Then, as quickly as it started, it stopped. Standing right in front of him were Daffy Duck, Taz, Sylvester and Tweety, and Porky Pig!
"How did you guys get here?" Frank asked. "And where's Bugs Bunny?"
"Bugs Bunny?" Daffy sniffed. "Who needs that rabbit to be funny? What I need is a colossal, bud-budget movie to make all my fans happy."

"Eeeebagarametzvommsemkalabaz!" shrieked Taz. Then he took a bite out of Daffy's tennis jacket.
"I n-n-need a p-pair of p-p-pa-p-pa, eh, trousers," said porky.
"Hmmm...I never even noticed." said Sylvester. "A pig without pants. I could use some decent cat toys. I'm sick of getting beaten up every time I chase this canary."
"And I want some peace and twiet," said Tweety. "No more bad ol' puddy tats."
"But who can grant those kinds of wishes?" Frank asked.
"The Wizard!" they all shouted. "The Wizard of oddballs!"
"Then let's go find him," Frank said.

"Which way do we go?" Frank asked. They all looked around for a minute.
"I thought you might know," Daffy said.
"I don't see any yellow brick road," said Sylvester.
"Not in this town, " Frank answered. "Why not just follow the white-striped road?"
"Smart kid," Daffy slurped. "I was just about to suggest that."

Frank and his friends walked down the sidewalk for a very long time. After a while, the neighborhood began to look more and more like a desert, with a long highway down the middle of it. Then something zipped by! "Meep-Meep!" it said, screeching to a halt.
"Road Runner!" cried Frank. They heard a whistling noise growing louder and louder in the air, like a bomb falling. "Duck!" frank hollered. Everyone but Daffy ducked.
"Yes?" Daffy answered, just as he was clobbered - by a falling coyote. Wile E. Coyote to be exact.

"Boy, I bet that hurt," Frank said, just as a huge boulder came down WHAM! on top of Wile E. and Daffy.
"Just a scratch," Daffy said woozily, as he crawled out from under the big rock. "Which way's to the Wizard?"
Just then, Wile E.'s hand popped out from under the boulder. A sign read, "Follow him."
"Beep-Beep!" Road Runner said, then disappeared in a puff of smoke down the highway.
"That way," said Frank, as he led his friends down the road.

Suddenly the road ended, and Frank and his friends found they were standing in a field of poppies. "Well, no big movie scripts here," complained Daffy.
"No cat toys, either."
"These fl-fl-fl-, er, poppies d-d-don't look l-like they'd m-make very g-good pants," Porky said.
Taz sniffed the air.
"This is very curious," Frank said, looking around. "I think we're lost."
"That's right, my pretties," cackled Witch Hazel in her castle far away. Witch Hazel was watching Frank and the others in a crystal ball. "The poppies will make you very sleepy! Sleep...Sleep!"
"I f-f-feel sleepy," said Porky.
"I could use a little cat nap myself," Sylvester added.
"Don't sleep!" Frank cried. "I've seen this before. it's a trick!"

Just as everyone was starting to fall asleep, Taz began spinning around in the flowers, throwing the petals everywhere. " "Eeeebagarametzvommsemkalabaz!"
"AAAAAA-CH))))!" sneezed Daffy. Then Porky sneezed.
"SNAAAGAAZPFTZ!" went Taz.
"Ah-too!" went Tweety.
"Curses!" yelled Witch Hazel. "Flowers don't make them sleepy. They've all got hay fever! What a world...what a world..."
Frank grabbed Taz's hand, and the others held on as they sneezed and sniffed and then swirled like a giant charm bracelet through the field.
At the top of a hill, Frank shouted, "Look!" he pointed to a beautiful castle with tall towers lined with gold.
"Well, at least the Wizard of Oddballs is well-connected," Daffy said.
"That's not the Wizard's house," Frank corrected him. "That is," he said, pointing to a tiny barn next to the castle.
"Sufferin' succotash," Sylvester wailed. "The Wizard lives in a garage!"

Frank and the gang slowly and very nervously entered the barn. Inside they saw a huge contraption that rattled and spat electric bolts.
"YES???" a loud, annoyed voice echoed. Everyone hit the deck.
"Uh, your wizardship, sir," said Daffy. "I am looking for a perfect script that will make me the world's biggest star. That's all."
"SILENCE!" the voice howled. "AND YOU, PIG?"
"Some p-p-p-p-pants, Mr. W-W-Wizard," said Porky.
"I'd like a small barn full of toys," squeaked Sylvester.
"Some peace and twiet for me," added Tweety.
"GO BACK HOME, AND YOU WILL HAVE YOUR WISHES. EXCEPT FOR THE DUCK!"
"Sir?" asked Daffy in a teeny-tiny voice.
"BIG WISHES REQUIRE BIG DEEDS. SWEEP THE ROAD ALL THE WAY HOME. IT'S A MESS! AND MAKE SURE TO RAKE UP ALL THE LEAVES FROM THE FUNNY FOREST!"
"Anything you say," Daffy said. "I don't remember gardening as the price for stardom," he complained.

"AND YOU, YOUNG MAN?" the Wizard shouted at Frank.
"I'm here to help my friends, who've always made me laugh," Frank said. "I just want to go home."
"CLAP YOUR HANDS THREE TIMES AND SAY, 'THAT'S ALL FOLKS' AND YOU SHALL HAVE YOUR WISH!"
Frank did just what the Wizard said, and again, everything began to swirl. Only this time, Taz was standing still. "Taz nervous," he gulped.
Straw and leaves and papers and chairs and horseshoes flew around and around like a tornado. Frank and his friends began to rise off the ground and spin in the middle of the commotion. He closed his eyes.
"Aergazalabliyaaaaasptz!" growled Taz, but his voice was lost in the wind.

When Frank opened his eyes, he was in his living room, sitting in the big chair. "Was I sleeping?" he wondered.
Flickering on the TV screen was the inside of a barn. He watched as Tweety pulled open a curtain, which revealed a figure sitting at a huge control panel. It was none other than Bugs Bunny!
"Eh, what's up, Frank?" Bugs said from the TV. "Thanks for the help."
"You were the Wizard?" asked Frank.
"Yeah - ain't I a stinker?" Bugs said with a chuckle.
"Daffy was overdue for a lesson. Hope I didn't put ya out too much. Let's do it again sometime. Oh, and I sent you a souvenir."
On the floor, beside the TV set, was the lost picture he had been looking for - a picture of Frank, Sharon and Tina, and in the background were Daffy, Sylvester, Tweety. Porky, Taz and Bugs himself!
Frank smiled and fall back to sleep.
