Wasntme is a Goop who immediately answers, “Wasn’t me,” to most questions, especially those questions that start with “Who?” He is quick to defend himself but doesn’t really listen well. In this episode of Goop Tales Wasntme gives his hiding place away by saying “Wasn’t me,” and in turn he is swallowed by a giant snake that ends up spitting him out into the sand dunes of Doha. As Wasntme learns to navigate the sand dunes he meets a friendly young camel named Clarabelle. Clarabelle tells him all about the history of sand and how sand carries stories that are millions of years old. Wasntme stirs up a sand dune that holds a story about a rotten, selfish old man and the old man comes for Wasntme in the shape of a sand dune. In order to return back to Goop World Wasntme has to learn how to listen in order to escape the sandstorms of rot. Clarabelle helps him along the way but the sandstorm of rot is large and powerful and smelly. Will he be able to make it home unscathed or will the sand dune of rot catch him?
