"Please, don't make me run! I'm full of chocolate!" cried Uter.
"Silly child, that is exactly why I shall pursue you to the ends of the Earth", replied Count Chocula. "How do you think I got to be this way?"
Uter ran onward through the brambles, though he was exhausted and in much pain. The first rays of sun were still hours away, and the night was cold.

Heaving from the effort, Uter collapsed. He had won. Now to search for that candy he dropped...
