You can starve, do you hear?!" CHarlie Brown looks at his kite.<BR><BR> "You're practically drooling, aren't you? You haven't eaten a kite for months, and you're just dying to get hold of this one, aren't you? Anren't you?" he demands.<BR><BR> "WELL, YOU'RE NOT, DO YOU HEAR ME? YOU'RE NOT!" Charlie Brown shakes his fist at the tree.<BR><BR> Charlie Brown stands with his kite and looks at the tree out of the corner of his eye.<BR><BR> "Here..take it."
