Mrs. Bigbee wants to write a story! Peter: Yesh! Finally, a chance to create! Nate: The format you'll use is: 1. somebody 2. Wanted 3. But 4. So! Peter: What? What ish that? Nate: It's how you make a story! 1. Somebody 2. Wanted something, 3. But they couldn't get it, 4. So they did this! Peter: But the shtory I want to tell ish more complex than that! It'sh a multi-generational epic! Nate: Sorry. Gotta use the format. Peter: Shomebody, a young geniush, wanted to write an original shtory, but hish idiot book buddy wouldn't let him! Peter: ...
