There once was a doctor who was helping a family find a treasure. He was knocking at the wall to find it. He finally found where it was but had to cut a hole in the wall the sister Tanina said, “what is the treasure” the mom (Kiki) and dad (Fezan) said “it is a surprise” her older sister said “is it money, food, a bowling alley” The brother said “is it a talking blue guitar, farting dog, or a talking soup can.” The doctor butted in after that and said it was an ancient Chinese tomb that could bring you anything you want.

Once upon a time there were two boys named Patrick and Sponge Bob. They were walking in a walking park. They saw a museum that said “Free.” They looked up into the sky and saw a flying pink bear with steel wings. They said, “Hey Pinky, get down from here!” Then Pinky flies down and says, “Hi. Have you ever heard of opposite day?” Patrick said, “yeah.” Then Pinky tells them all about opposite day. “When is opposite day?” “Opposite day is February 6th.” And they all went to Pinky’s cave.
