1. ValeriyaToday, as always, there was kerfuffle. After a busy concert, Keith and Jim were very lackadaisical and tired, and they still had to give interviews. And there, of course, they were confused. The whale was named Jim, and Jim was named Keith. there was a real hullabaloo at the concert, after which they no longer paid attention to all this. But Keith was very annoyed.
- Аgain they confused us, it infuriates us already, we are completely different! - Keith said indignantly.
- Hahaha, calm down already, it's easy to confuse us, we're almost the same, - Jim answered
- And no, it's poppycock! - he shouted, holding a lollygag in his hand, which he bought even before the concert
After entering his apartment, the younger sat on the couch and sat on social media replying to fans. Jim at this time went to cook dinner. Keith replied to many fans, but then he came across one message and immediately ran to his brother.
- Jim, Jim, look .. someone wrote here that we are complete ragamuffins, whippersnappers and that all our songs are a complete cacophony .. - he said with a sad voice
- hey, brother, why don't you be upset, this is just not a reasonable person, our subcubs love us, and they will never write such a thing.
- well, yes, our fans are the best!
-By the way, Keith, you seem to have bought some lollipops, can you share?
- but no, mine, - with a sly smile, Keith ran back to the living room
- oh you're a curmudgeon, oh well
when dinner was ready, Jim called his brother, but after 5, 10, 15 minutes, he did not come, and he went to check what was there
- hey, why are you taking so long, dinner is getting cold
- I can't take my tie off! help discombobulate.. -haha, come on
a few days later it was December 31, the new year, they invited many friends. in general there were 13 of them, the apartment was full of gobbledygook everyone was talking, music was playing.
Jim was talking to his best friend:
- yeah .. long time no see, how are you at all? why so sad? Jim asked
- yes, my dog ran away the other day .., - he woebegone.
-oh .. I'm sure she will definitely return, just don't be sad!
when the time approached 00:00, everyone sat down at the table, on which there were a lot of things, salads, barbecue, champagne. and it was exactly midnight on the clock. everyone raised their glasses and shouted "Happy New Year!"

Out of time new year's resolutions
'What… is that?' Jim looked over his brother's shoulder to the words he was scribbling down on a piece of paper. 'New Year's resolutions,' Keith answered, not looking up from his work. 'New Year's resolutions?' 'It's an earthling tradition.' 'Ah…' 'Try it.' By his sleeve, he pulled Jim down in a chair and pushed pen and paper under his nose. Jim tapped with the pen on the table, no clue what to write other than 'be a bit more selective when choosing grandmas'. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at what his brother had already written.
Write less poppycock on Twitter. Prevent Jim from looking like a ragamuffin. Don't make Samantha look like a whippersnapper. Do not discombobulate fans with unfinished sentences and phrases that seem to make no sense at all… Stop the lollygag whenever a camera is in sight, and act serious. Don't create a hullabaloo backstage. Try to avoid kerfuffle with Jim.
He had underlined the word 'try' twice.
Jim gave up. 'And what is that?' He pointed to a leather-bound book on the table. Disturbed, his brother looked up. 'A 'dickjionarie'. DJ gave it to me. Don't know why he grinned. Maybe he hoped I would drop it on my foot. It's a heavy book. So are the words that are in it. Earth words are weird/. Being on earth for over a year now, I've heard many, but some of the words in here,' he tapped on the book with his paw, 'you can hardly get your tongue around. Words you can bamboozle humans with. It is fun, though. If there ever were words you can easily misspell, some of these are definitely in the top-twenty.' And leaving it at that, he went back to work.
Rustling the pages, Jim leafed through the 'dickjionarie' lackadaisically, sneezing twice in the damp and musty smell that rose from the pages, here and there reading words. His paw stopped at the colophon. 'Numbers are not really your forte, are they?' 'Hmm?' Keith muttered disturbed and glanced at the page. 'Published 1878. And?' Jim snickered. 'I am overwhelmed by the gobbledygook you have written so far,' he declared with his best imitation of a British accent. Then, in the same voice commenting on Keith's actions: 'The narky curmudgeon slouched in the chair, crossing his arms in a gesture of annoyance, becoming increasingly querulous as the meaning of '1878' sinks in. With a woebegone expression, in a cacophony of crisps and crackles he crumbled the paper into a ball and...’ Ouch!' The paper had hit Jim right between the eyes. 'Right,' Keith pushed his brother out of the way, marching to the door. 'New Year's resolutions never work for me anyway.'

3.DantecotonKeith’s 12 Wishes It was new years eve. Keith & Jim were rather excited, sure it was their second new years eve on Earth but now they had spent about a year on Earth they finally had some understanding of how things worked. The two yellow wolves were out & about when they heard a hullabaloo up ahead, their sharp hearing was picking up on the argument between a what clearly was a ragamuffin & a whippersnapper, the two young people were actually arguing about them. The closer the wolves got the more heated the argument became & people were listening in, it was closer to a kerfuffle now with the two conflicting in their views of if the wolves themselves were people in masks or actually from the moon.
Keith & Jim both looked to each other, amused but also couldn’t resist the urge to create more chaos with this argument & the two subcubs. Still the two hadn’t noticed them. “Time to discombobulate them.” Keith signalled to Jim mentally. Both the alien wolves could communicate with earthlings now but usually still chose to communicate with Samantha. Right now though was too good of an opportunity to pass up. Keith & Jim both were no longer in a lollygag mood as they had been moments before.
Jim looked a bit woebegone in this moment, they had gone out in the cold & snow to think about what they wanted for the new year & now they were going to cause chaos for two subcubs but perhaps also make their day. You see it isn’t every day you get to meet those who you look up to. “Poppycock!” & “Gobbledygook!” Rang out the wolves, startling the two who stopped their cacophony of an argument, they just stared in shock that the wolves were not only there but could speak for themselves, while the people who were around watched on in shocked amusement. “You say that we are two people in masks? We are Keith & Jim from the moon. That is who we are, not two humans in masks, whatever gave you that idea?” Jim told the two humans, siding with the ragamuffin, instantly making their day. “Although we could be two humans in masks, who knows? But one thing that stands is that we are Keith & Jim nothing more or less.” Keith stated to side with the whippersnapper, hands in his pockets & a telltale sign of amusement in the tilting of his head.
They headed back home after letting the subcubs take some photos with them & quickly snatched a curmudgeon of a granny for a snack. Their walk home was lackadaisical but they now had a list of what they wanted for the new year. Keith grabbed his notebook…12 wishes: 1.Eating Grandmas 2.Music 3.Storytelling 4.Dancing 5.Performing 6.Cause chaos 7.Travelling 8.Fun 9.Time with Jim & Luna 10.Learn more human things 11.Friends & subcubs 12.Take breaks

A new year to remember
The snow silently fell from the sky and covered most of the ground but the peace was disturbed by the sudden spaceship landing in the forest. Two yellow wolves left the ship, the other one taller than the other. 'What are we doing here?' the taller one asked -Jim- a little nervous and discombobulated. Keith was leaving pawprints when he walked over the now covered meadow. The only thing here were two houses and a fence they now walked past. 'I wanna try chicken, all the humans seem to like that alot.' He finally answered that he had seen some farm videos with those with horns and an appetite for grass. And those small noisy ones with two feets. And he had become oddly hungry. And he thought about new years coming up so he wanted to taste chicken at new year. 'I don't think humans like taking their pets' Jim nervously answers back. But Keith was already climbing over the fence and Jim followed the younger wolf's movement as he landed inside of the fence. Jim saw him open the lock; it was just a Hook to get in. Keith went in and it went quiet before a cacophony of chicken noises was heard. Jim looked a bit nervous wondering if he should go and see if he was okay. Keith came out with a chicken between his paws looking lackadaisical and his clothes were covered in feathers. Jim grinned this Keith time with his paws full he opened the fence door he didn't notice until now. Jim was relieved when he came out unharmed. but suddenly a loud shout was heard when the farmer came running and he was wearing and probably sleeping in ragamuffin clothes. Keith started running with the hen in front of him, Jim running past him with his long legs. "GET BACK HERE you Whippersnapper!" They were faster than the farmer at least and hid in the forest and accidently ran into the invisible ship. Now the farmer catches up to them and is also chasing the chicken. Causing a hullabaloo when they fought and pushed each other away Keith was winning. He briefly thought that maybe he could eat him instead of the chicken but decided against it. Jim pulled Keith with him into the ship and told DJ to start the ship. He placed the chicken next to him and patted its head gently. “What was that Kerfuffle?” They looked up and saw DJ say that in his spacey voice. He looked a little weirded out ´This is my lunch´ Keith finally said “That's poppycock” Samantha said from nowhere. Keith stuck out his tongue at him and called him a Curmudgeon. telling him to stop lollygag and take care of the chicken.before he left to take care of the chicken. Jim looked a bit woebegone he didn't want to hear when Samantha was taking care of the poor creature mumbling something about Gobbledygook before he left to the other room silently.

After returning home for the month, Subwoolfer began to tell his sister Luna about the adventures that happened to them on Earth on Christmas night, because that night they flew around the world with Santa DJ Astronaut as his helpers to put a present under the tree for every child.
They flew all over the world, but the last houses were the most interesting of their mission.
Arriving at the first house, they ran into a little problem: DJ couldn't get the bag of presents through the chimney, causing a kerfuffle between him and Jim. But they agreed that Keith would climb through the window with the presents and put them under the Christmas tree, leaving a card with a wish that the owners of this house would never get into any trouble or quarrel.
The second house was also a surprise because two adults were awake and hullabaloo. The boys were thinking about how to make sure that they were not noticed and the gift got in inside, because time is running out. They decided to leave the gifts under the door. But even here, Keith's postcard was indispensable. Wishing more positivity and that the owners of the house would never be angry with each other, Mr. Keith slipped the postcard into the crack of the door.
In the third house lived a curmudgeon. The boys decided to congratulate him without hiding themselves. But the man chased them out of his house with a stick and shouted gobbledygook. Although Keith managed to stick a card on his forehead with a wish to be kinder and love Christmas.
Flying by the fourth house, they heard a cacophony of cat sounds, they were arguing very loudly about something. The guys landed and gave the cats delicious cat food and mr. Keith wished them to be able to get out of the conflict not so loudly, because they disturb people's sleep.
In the fifth house, the situation was not the best: the whippersnapper quarreled with his grandmother and she was woebegone because of this. On the sly left gifts under the tree with a card from Keith with a wish to respect the elders and never offend them.
In the sixth, something happened that made the boys discombobulate. Leaving gifts under the Christmas tree, they were caught by a girl, but they were able to agree with her that she had not seen anything. Keith wished her a Merry Christmas and to sleep at this hour, because in the future she would not have time to sleep.
Near the seventh house sat a ragamuffin, muttering poppycock under his breath. Approaching him, Keith gave him a gift and wished him success in life
In the eighth house lives a lollygag person who constantly postpones all matters to the next day and is lackadaisical. In his postcard, Keith wished him not to be lazy, because his success in life depends only on him.
Luna liked the stories and will be on Earth next Christmas.

6.AnajiyuukazeKeith's 12 wishes for New Year.
That was a fantastic year for our favourite space yellow wolves. They won many fans, who are called the name of subcubs; despite their tenth position in Eurovision. Also, they made a lot of songs like Melocoton, Howling, Having grandma here for Christmas, Space Kelly, Dragma, Turin, etc...
In the last moment of 2022, humans celebrated New Year's Eve with their families. Depending on their cultures, they celebrate it in different ways. Keith was very interested in the Spanish New Year's Eve way which consists of eating grapes at each chime. There are twelve chimes, that's means you have to eat twelve grapes. Each grape means a wish, so you can make twelve wishes for the new becoming year.
Keith knew what wishes he wanted to make; because he has been on Earth long enough to think them through. Keith, Jim, DJ Astro and Luna were ready to eat their grapes when Jim switched on the TV and chose any Spanish channel. People on the channel looked happy and elegant in their suits and extravagant dresses.
The only inconvenience was they didn't understand the Spanish language so well, thus they just heard gobbledygook or poppycock sounds that they made laugh, thanks to people's gestures. When the bells sounded, they started to eat the grapes. While Keith was eating his grapes, he was making his wishes.
It was difficult to make the wishes, while he was listening to his brother's chew. "What a cacophony!", Thought Keith.
His main wishes were a better place where young people wouldn't be whippersnapper and lackadaisical with the eldest; families with children, who has lost everything because of the war, could have a peaceful and friendly home where kids will never have ragamuffin lives. People would stop being such a curmudgeon and discombobulate from others; also, the world would stop being a hullabaloo place where everybody make woebegone because of disrespectful actions from the others.
Keith was continuing to make whishes when he noticed that he had eaten all the grapes and the new year has begun. He couldn't make his twelve wishes on time and that's made Keith bad, but thanks to his siblings and DJ's hug, he felt better.
A new year has started and Subwoolfer started with a great kerfuffle party, not caring about how lollygag was Samantha while he was defrosting in the fridge like a salmon frozen.

7.NorwegianMuleKeith’s 12 wishes for New year
The year was 2022, the month was December, the day was the 31st. A very strange day for 4.5 billion y/o wolf brothers and their close friend and storyteller DJ Astro. Surprisingly for them, it was the most wolfaful time of the year for these strange earthlings. For some weird reason, Hullabaloo could be heard from every house. Lackadaisical grandmas and not so tasty grandpas were lurking around the so-called «Christmas tree» as they call it. Something was lying under the tree. Colorful square thingies, taped with ribbons. Keith thought that he must Discombobulate them and find out what’s inside. *Suddenly music started playing* «Astro baby, put the grandma under the tree, For me! I’ve been an awfully good wolf! Astro baby, just stuff her down my chimney tonight! I’ve got the oven ready alright, so hurry, ‘cause I’m hungry! Tonight!» And Lollygag! Here she is, in one's own person. Ready to be eaten, but she is such a Curmudgeon! She brought her own turkey for Keith and a present to Jim. A small radio was inside, playing Cacophony of different songs from the good old times. Even though Jim likes old, but different kind of ooold. Another thing our heroes noticed is a white and cOLD Poppycock falling from the sky and these weird earthlings drinking Gobbledygook, or as they call it «God sees, we are not drinking, we are healing». By the way, this is the reason why 70% of children do not believe in a sober Santa Claus. Unfortunately, this wolftastic year was coming to the end and Whippersnappers and Ragamuffins were getting ready for the tasty little grandma and their parents were getting ready for the Wolfmas Kerfuffle. Our yellow heroes were also Having grandma here for Wolfmas. Finally, the time has come. Keith, Jim, Astro, Luna, Samantha and Yum-Yum Dancers gathered together for Wolfmas wishes. «We wish you a wolftacular year, full of yummies and oldies. We hope, that the past year brought you a bunch of memorable moments full of joy, fun and smiles. We are sure, that in an upcoming year all of the Woebegone will be gone and only bananas, melocotones and grandmas will be accompanying you throughout the year. New songs, new concerts, new memories and new…. Wait …. OLD grandmas for the next year. Thank you so much and see you, SubCubs, in 2023 for an upcoming Subwoolfer updates!»

The Wolves, The Translator, The Troll and the Fish
Once snowy New Year’s Eve, Samantha took the space wolves ice fishing.
“I’m cold”, Keith grumbled, bored of Samantha’s gobbledygook instructions and wishing he was already at Astro’s New Year party. “I wish you’d hurry up!”
“Poppycock Keith! Don’t be such a curmudgeon”, admonished Jim. “We promised to bring fish for Astro’s party hors d’oeuvres”.
Keith wished he’d stayed on the spaceship; how had Jim talked him into this outdoorsy nonsense?
“You’re being too lackadaisical”, said Jim. “Don’t lollygag - Watch me…”.
Keith rolled his eyes. He wished he’d eaten a Grandma before coming out.
As Jim grabbed Keith’s fishing rod his foot slipped: he’d worn the wrong shoes! With a desperate kerfuffle of flailing limbs, Jim disappeared through the hole in the ice.
“We’re coming, Jim!” shouted Samantha. “Come on Keith! Let’s grab him at the edge of the ice... Follow Me!”
Samantha grabbed the lantern and rushed off. Keith, feeling quite discombulated, tried to follow but his legs were stiff with cold. “Wait for me!” pleaded Keith. “I wish you’d slow down!”, but he lost sight of Samantha and was lost in the dark.
Poor Keith cut a woebegone figure, all alone on the cold, dark lake. “I wish we’d just bought party food! And that I’d listened to Astro and worn a coat! And that I’d not eaten that Grandma before she finished knitting my scarf! I wish this whole day never happened!”, Keith sniffled. Feeling very sorry for himself, he sat on a tree stump and started howling.
“What’s that hullabaloo? Oh my, wolf! What’s the matter, young whippersnapper?”
The voice made Keith jump. “Who’s there?”, he whimpered. Peering into the gloom, Keith could just see a hunched little ragamuffin. It was a very little old lady: perching on a rock.
“A grandma troll!? I wish I could see you properly. Will you help me, troll? I’m lost…”.
The troll smiled. “Don’t you know that earthlings get twelve magic New Year wishes?”
“Twelve wishes? But you haven’t granted any of mine”, growled Keith.
“Ah! But you’ve been wishing for all the wrong things”, replied the troll sagely. “You’ve only been thinking of yourself. Magic can’t be selfish”.
Suddenly there was a cacophony of whistles and bangs as colourful fireworks lit up the scene. New Year!
Keith felt a tap on the shoulder. “There you are!” – it was Jim, who’d been rescued by Samantha. “I couldn’t see you. Look at this”, he said jubilantly, showing Keith an enormous fish caught in his claws. “It’s Salmon, you know, from Salmon & Garfunkel?; he’s promised to teach us some slippery dance moves and scaly harmonies. Let’s go home”.
Keith smiled.
“But what about your twelfth wish?”, asked the troll.
“Oh, don’t worry about that”, Keith sniggered. “I’ve got a much better idea…”
Keith ate the grandma troll. The wolves took Salmon to Astro’s party. And Keith, for one, lived happily – and selfishly - ever after.

By now you may have heard of the yellow wolves from space. If not, I have a tale.
A new year was just around the corner on Earth, and tonight was going to be their first official New Years party. However, before attending the most bodacious party, at least so said the party invite, Keith wanted to get some last minute tinkering done on the wolfanator. Jim helped out begrudgingly, looking more woebegone more than anything. His lackadaisical approach soon caused an unfortunate set back.
Never had a kerfuffle between the two as to whose fault it was been so... wolfy. They pushed and shoved each other, their scuffle causing more damage to the device. Suddenly, a cacophony of alarm bells abruptly stopped them. These were unlike the ones heard for crashing. In fact, these were much worse. Without any warning, a rift appeared and pulled Keith and Jim into its depth.
As quickly as it pulled them in, the rift chucked them out. Where exactly, neither knew. “What is all that hullabaloo?” a curmudgeon yelled from inside a wood and brick house. “I swear, if it's you dang ragamuffins, I'll-” The old man stopped once he opened his door and stared at Keith and Jim. Yellow wolves dressed in suits? The old man slammed the door shut and pitter-pattered around in his house. Keith and Jim shrugged their shoulders, both looking at each other. He then quickly opened the door yet again but this time brought strange looking devices – one in his hand and another attached to his head.
“Never did I expect to see you two.” The old man looked down at the device in his hand. “Poppycock! From Earth's moon? I thought those were just rumours! Oh don't mind me, a crusty old man from a bygone civilization. The stories I've heard, though. You two young whippersnappers need to be careful with your toys.” It was at this point he dived into significant gobbledygook which prevented any questions the wolves had. Once the old man realized Keith and Jim started zoning out, he stopped and opened a stable rift by another device hidden in his pocket. He bowed to the wolves and pushed them through, much to their surprise.
Again, the rift spat them out. They had a softer landing this time, landing on a lollygagging DJ Astronaut. The three argued until Keith realized they were outside the New Years party venue. DJ Astronaut stormed back in with Keith and Jim following behind. At least they were back in time for their traditional wishes for a new year, twelve to be exact since they were on Earth. But the whole situation still discombobulated the two. Just who? And how? No matter. Jim was certain his wishes would help solve that mystery.
So what were Keith's twelve wishes then? The answer to that is as simple as paying attention to the first letter of each paragraph.

10.Elenami1It was a dark and stormy night, and two whippersnapper yellow wolves roamed the city, hungry. They were looking for a pizzeria. Jim was lackadaisical and looked so woebegone because they had lost Samantha and without him they could not make themselves understood by the earthlings. Some looked at them frightened, while the ragamuffins were intrigued by the long yellow ears and teeth.
And they couldn't see anything, because they insisted on keeping their sunglasses on, even though it was dark, but it was so cool and amusing to see the earthlings discombobulated by this! What if Samantha had been kidnapped? But who could have kidnapped him? It was a poppycock! After the mess of the concert, the meet and greet or whatever the heck it was called, Jim couldn't stand the cacophony of all those people, they had lost sight of him in the kerfuffle.
He'll be in the hotel lobby, Jim had said, and they had looked for him there, but he wasn't. Keith was so hungry and they had gone out to find something to eat. They had planned to go grandma-hunting, but in the evening and in the cold weather, grandmas were in short supply and they did not want a crowd of angry protesters under their hotel making a real hullabaloo.
The first New Year's resolution was to learn the Earth language, but she did not know which one to start with, there were so many, strange that Earthlings did not use a common one, that was gobbledygook.
The second resolution was to learn how to cook pizza, but now it was easier to find a ready-made one, probably. Then Keith noticed that he had a cell phone in his pocket, one of those things that Earthlings loved so much, and it was making strange noises: it was Samantha calling him!
Their translator explained to him that he had met some strange guys, champions of lollygag, called Old and Broken Subcubs, who were very friendly, and that they were all in a club drinking and eating and to join them there. Amidst the rivers of beer and miles of delicious pizza and bananas, Keith thought that his last New Year's resolution was to continue to have fun with all the earthlings and to do lots of other songs and concerts that the earthbugs liked so much, because he wasn't such a bad and curmudgeon wolf after all!

11.WolftasticKeith’s 12 wishes for New Year
Jim: Keith, the Earth just completed a lap around the Sun! Look, fireworks! There must be a great kerfuffle in every house!
Keith: All these things discombobulate me.
Jim: I once read, in the Great Encyclopaedia of Earthlings, that Earth years last 365 days and humans write a list of twelve wishes for the New Year.
Keith: What a gobbledygook, you are talking poppycock.
Jim: Come on Keith, you're not normally such a curmudgeon. Is everything OK?
Keith: I felt a little bit like a whippersnapper when you started to say all those data I didn't know. But now that I think about it, I like what humans do, after all, I'm a ... how do you say?
DJ, while ending a phone conversation: Ragamuffin!
Jim: Curious wolf.
Keith: Exactly. I wish I knew more words from the Earth languages.
Jim: Even you, a selenite wolf, have New Year's wishes. You should write a list. DJ and I have already finished ours.
Keith: When did you write yours!?
DJ: We told you before. But you were very busy decoding the background noise of our communication radios because you thought it was a cacophony of a banana you lost.
Keith: I wish I wasn't so clueless about some things. The banana told me that it is playing hide and seek with us. I wish I could find it.
Jim: DJ you look lackadaisical and woebegone. Is everything OK?
DJ: I want to go to Earth to see my family but the rocket isn’t working. The emergency intergalactic mechanic told me to call him tomorrow because he's out partying and there's a hullabaloo.
Keith: I wish I was a mechanic in these situations. How can we help you?
DJ: We should check the whole rocket to find out what's wrong.
Jim: Take a break, we got this.
Keith: Here you go, a lollygag. I wish you like it.
DJ: Thanks, guys!
*Later*
Jim: Have you seen anything, Keith?
Keith: No, I wish I have X-rays in his eyes to see through the walls of the ship. This looks like a mystery; I desire I have Sherlock Wolf's phone number.
Jim: Come on! This could not be that difficult.
Keith: I am really tired and hungry. I wish I know where is the hidden banana”.
Jim: What is this?
Keith: I wish I could turn on the torch. There you go, light.
Jim: How did this banana get into the rocket's exhaust pipe, Keith?
Keith, while laughing: I wish I know, Jim. Let's go up to the ship, I'll tell DJ.
*Later*
DJ: Are you ready?
Keith: Yes, I wish the rocket would start. I desire with all my might that we could travel to Earth.
DJ: It’s working!
Keith, realizing he just completed his twelve-wish list: We did it! I wish you a Happy New Year!
Jim and DJ: The same for you Keith!
The banana: Thanks Keith, you are so cute.
*Thriller music*
