Mr. Krabs' New Mohawk

One Tuesday morning, Mr. Krabs walked into the Krusty Krab looking very different. Instead of his usual bald head, he was sporting a bright red mohawk that stuck straight up in the air.

"Good morning, SpongeBob!" Mr. Krabs announced, striking a pose. "How do you like me new haircut? The barber said it would make me look twenty years younger!"

SpongeBob dropped his spatula in amazement. "Wow, Mr. Krabs! That's... that's really something!"

Just then, Squidward walked in from the back room, took one look at Mr. Krabs, and burst out laughing.

"AHAHAHAHA!" Squidward howled. "Mr. Krabs, you look ridiculous! A mohawk? At your age? You look like a punk rock porcupine!"

Mr. Krabs' face turned red with embarrassment. "It's... it's fashionable, Squidward! Young and hip!"

"Hip? You look like you stuck your claw in an electrical socket!" Squidward laughed even harder. "Wait until the customers see this!"

Mr. Krabs suddenly felt very self-conscious about his new haircut and started to hide behind the cash register.

But then the first customer of the day walked in - it was Sandy Cheeks.

"Well, I'll be!" Sandy grinned. "Mr. Krabs, that mohawk looks mighty fine! Very trendy!"

"Really?" Mr. Krabs perked up.

The next customer was Mrs. Puff, who had her hair styled in a small mohawk too.

"Oh my!" Mrs. Puff exclaimed. "Mr. Krabs, we're practically twins! I just got this haircut yesterday!"

Then Larry the Lobster came in, flexing his muscles and showing off his own spiky mohawk.

"Dude!" Larry said, giving Mr. Krabs a high-five. "Awesome mohawk! We're like a cool hair club!"

More and more customers came in throughout the day, and they all either complimented Mr. Krabs' mohawk or had similar trendy haircuts themselves.

Squidward watched in disbelief as customer after customer praised Mr. Krabs' new look.

Then Patrick wandered in, completely bald as always.

"Hey everybody!" Patrick said cheerfully. "Nice hair, Mr. Krabs! I wish I had hair like that!"

Patrick looked around the restaurant and noticed something. "Hey, Squidward! We're the only ones without cool hair! We're both bald!"

Squidward suddenly realized Patrick was right. Everyone in the restaurant had fashionable hair except for him and Patrick.

"Well," Mr. Krabs said with a big smile, "looks like me mohawk is quite popular! Maybe you two should visit the barber!"

Squidward's face turned purple with embarrassment as all the customers with their trendy haircuts looked at him and Patrick.

"I... I... my bald head is sophisticated!" Squidward stammered.

"Me too!" Patrick said proudly. "Bald is beautiful!"

Mr. Krabs chuckled. "Next time, Squidward, maybe think twice before laughing at someone's new style!"

The End.
