Two brand new stories and one snack -loving goose coming up right after a few words for the grownups.
I'm looking for a snack, I'm looking for a snack, I'm opening random doors and I'm looking for a snack.
Whoa! What's in here?
Hey Peter! Hey NIMINI!
What are all these cool gadgets and gizmos?
This is my laboratory!
It's where I work on exciting new science experiments and inventions.
Wow, I had no idea that you had a laboratory on the ship.
Yep. I work down here all the time, coming up with cool new ideas for things that might help out on our story pirate adventures.
That is so cool. You know, come to think of it, we don't get to hang out that much, one on one, do we, Nymene?
I guess we don't. We should hang out more and get to know each other better.
Absolutely. Hey, what's this thing?
Ooh, that's my underwater motorcycle.
It's a prototype. Cool.
What about this? It's an air -destinkifying machine.
Sometimes, when the air is stinky, I use that to distinctify it.
What's this one? It's making all sorts of cool science sounds.
That's my science -sound -effect machine.
It can make over 3 ,000 different beeps and boops.
And up there on that really high shelf, those are all my various liquids and goos.
Ooh, what's this? Over here, with the big flashing green button.
Wow, this machine is big enough that I can stand inside of it.
What does the big green button do?
That's something new I'm working on.
It's not finished, but it has the power to make a person...
Cool! Prince! What?
Peter! You pushed the button!
No! You didn't let me finish!
Awesome! I mean, uh, sorry.
I was saying, it has the power to make a person turn into a goose.
Oh! Huh. Yeah. I wish you hadn't pushed that button.
Why? What's going to honk?
Oh my goodness. I'm starting to honk like a honk.
I guess the machine works.
Peter, you're turning into a goose.
Hm? Honk. Yeah. I'm very different from everybody.
Confusion is the step before curiosity.
OK, that's a really funny idea, we have to send that in.
Well, our dad makes horrible dad jokes, so that's one thing.
I believe all of the things in that story.
Human beings are just able to create.
The Story Pirates. Welcome back to The Story Pirates podcast, everyone, where we take stories written by kids.
And honk. Them into Sketch -honkity and Honk.
Peter, are you okay?
You're supposed to say, nd turn them into sketch comedy and songs and turn Honk into a honk comedy and Honk.
No, Peter, we don't honk anything into anything.
We take stories written by kids and we turn them into sketch comedy and songs.
I know! It's just that I'm honking into a honk.
Um, what's happening to Peter?
He's turning into a ghost. I'm sorry!
Okay, that's literally hilarious.
I'm going to go feed Peter some torn up bread.
Oh, yes, that actually sounds amazing right now.
But first, let's do a honk.
And here to intro honk, it is the honk.
I think what Peter is trying to say is, first, let's do a story and here to introduce it is the author.
Hi, I'm Ezra. I'm 13 years old and I live in Alabama.
This is my story, The Spy Who Couldn't Fly.
Ah! Another day here at the spy headquarters of the world.
Assistant Bob! Yes, lead spymaster colonel supreme lord of awesomeness sir.
I told you before Bob, spymaster is just fine.
And less awkward. Now, hand me my spy mission briefings.
Here you are sir. OK, let's see.
Oh my... Bob, this new mission here may be the biggest mission ever.
I've got word that there's cheese out there that turns people evil, and we think we've found a location of the evil cheese factory.
Now, uh... Bob? Did you alert our top spies?
Yes sir, but they're all on missions.
We have 84 spies? Are they all gone?
Well not quite all of them.
All we have left are Joe and Mikayla our second and third best spies and our 84th best spy Ernie Ernie the spy who can't lie You called spymaster Ernie.
Were you just listening to our briefing outside the door?
What me up? No, see you can't even tell a simple lie, please sir.
I can do this oh really?
remember what happened during the Scotland mission?
hello welcome to the bad guy's lair are you the new recruit?
uh yeah sure um i mean i'm definitely not the spy hey get out you got it yeah that was bad not as bad as the Iceland snafu hello welcome to the bad guys private dinner party Are you on the guest list I uh yeah private dinner is exactly what I'm here for and nothing else especially not spy stuff leave right Our department was the laughingstock of the government Yeah, but at least it wasn't as bad as the Montreal mission wait.
What am I doing? Welcome to— I'm a spy!
Anyway, sir, I'm confident I can lie this time.
You gotta trust me.
Fine. But we're sending Joe and Michaela to meet you.
You are to infiltrate the cheese factory and stop the production of evil cheese.
Follow their lead. But if it comes down to it, I need you to lie, Ernie.
Now can you do it? Of course I can't!
I mean, I can't— I— Can?
Then we're doomed. To the factory.
Come in H .Q. I've made it to the sewers near the factory and I'm meeting up with Joe and Michaela now.
Pst, Ernie, over here.
Hey Joe, Michaela, why are we meeting in the sewers?
Well, according to the blueprints we obtained, the bad guy's underground cheese factory is right below us.
Okay, H .Q., we are go for flush.
I repeat, go for flush.
I'm sorry? Oh, yeah, flushing ourselves down this giant toilet pipe is the only way to go down without their cameras seeing us.
AAAAAAAH!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!
WOAH! Alright, here we are in the cheese factory!
How are you both okay with being flushed?
Woah, it is huge down here, and smelly.
Hey, do you see that?
There's a bad guy with a cow in a fake library.
What's going on? All right, Bessie.
Look at these books here in this here library.
You could check out as many as you want.
And then never return them.
Ha, ha, ha, ha. Mmm.
Not returning library books on purpose?
That is evil. So that is how they are doing it.
HQ, we figured out how they've been making evil cheese.
First, they make the cows evil.
Then the evil cows make evil milk!
Which makes evil cheese.
They're not getting away with this.
You got that right.
Oh, no, the bad guy is coming this way.
Stay quiet Ernie We'll handle this now.
Remember our cover story Michaela.
Hey you three, what are you doing here?
We're pirates Scientists what sounded like you said two different things.
What's going on here?
I'm gonna leave it to this third guy to clear things up.
Tell me who are you three really?
Oh, no, not Ernie well, uh We are Give us a good lie!
Uh, we're pirate scientists.
Yeah! Sent here to see if you're also teaching these cows to steal gold for research. Huh.
Sounds legit to me.
Carry on. Oh no, that alarm only means one thing.
What? It means a piece of evil cheese has mutated into a cheese monster.
We're in big trouble if we don't stop it.
Leave it to us! We're spies!
Ernie! Oh, right, sorry.
But I thought you were pirate scientists!
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Whoa!
That cheese monster just broke through the wall!
It's huge! Don't worry, I'll use my martial arts to stop it.
Hey, cheese monster!
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Take this!
Hi -yah! Hi -yah! Hi -yah!
Oh no! All his moves are going right through the Swiss cheese holes!
Oh man, those were my best moves!
Hahaha! Stand back, I'll freeze it!
Freeze ray! Hahahaha!
It's not working! Oh man, that was my best freeze ray -ing!
Aaahh! Aaahhh, it's coming right for me!
Quick! Use your heat ray!
Oh no, it's not charged up!
Aaahhh! Monster, wait!!
Huh? Before you eat me, there's something I have to tell you.
Ernie what are you doing?
Why aren't you running?
I can't run away Joe not without telling the truth and the truth is that this Monster is my father Is that true nope, but it was enough to distract the monster while I charged up my melting ray That's what a spies call a lie Oh my goodness.
Ernie, that was an epic lie!
I really did it! And look the monster is just a pile of melted cheese now.
And just in time for lunch I need something to dip my nachos in.
Hey something's happening to me.
Ugh, I don't feel evil anymore.
What have I been doing he's cured now we know how to cure everyone back to hq so you're saying all we had to do was get a cheese monster try some failed martial arts freeze it then melt and eat the cheese to cure the evilness that's right sir and we were able to succeed because ernie was finally able to tell a lie oh that's fantastic news now it's time for me to enjoy my special post mission cookie Bob, cookie me!
I'm sorry, sir. I can't find it.
What? Ernie, are you eating my postmission cookie?
Uh... Hmph! No. Ernie!
The end! Wow! Wow! I thought that story was hoo -hunk.
My favorite part was hoo -hunk.
The kid who rode it must have really Honk!
Honk! Honk! Wait just a second.
Why is Peter turning into a goose...
and more importantly, how?
But also, what?! I can explain!
I was showing Peter around my lab and he pressed a button on my Goose -to -Person Transformation Machine.
You have a goose -to -person transformation machine?
What could you possibly need that for?
You never know! What if we get into trouble on the ship and and the only way to solve our problem is to turn a person into a goof.
Can't argue with that.
By my calculations, Peter is currently 43 % goose, and that number is going up rapidly.
Wow, my arms turned into, Ooh.
I mean, my Ooh. Just turned into wings.
I mean, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh.
My God, 56%. Ooh! Mm, yum!
Ooh! Ooh, yum, this is good.
Mm. Peter, are you eating leaves, and sticks, and worms?
Of course. I'm turning into a goose, Lee.
So I'm enjoying one last round of my favorite human snacks before the transformation is complete.
Peter, those are goose foods.
Really? Wow, that's awesome.
I'm going to be fine.
Apologies if this is a silly question to many, but is there any way to turn Peter back into a person?
Unfortunately, no. Turning him back would require some kind of person -to -goose reversifying machine.
And that technology just doesn't exist yet.
Caw caw caw caw caw.
Peter's honks are getting louder and closer together!
He's becoming more goose every second!
It's astonishing! Peter, I can relate!
I once transformed into a seagull.
Really? For my award -deserving performance in a play called The Seagull!
I was so dropped in that many theatergoers didn't realize I was not an actual seagull.
Huh! Last I checked, the seagull was not an actual character with lines in that play.
In my production, the seagull had lots of lines!
What kind of goose do you think I'm going to be?
I hope it's the silly kind!
Being a - is going to be so - Hold on a second.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea for Peter to become a goose forever.
Yeah, sometimes we need peter to do human things around the ship like one small example peter edits all the podcast episodes Well, I'm afraid it's too late to do anything about that.
He's already 67 percent goose.
This is fun But what's gonna happen to my legs?
What's gonna happen to my feet?
They're turning into goose legs and goose feet He's 81 % goose now.
I've never seen anyone turn into a goose this quickly Have you ever seen anyone turn into a goose at all good point?
This is the first time the machine has ever been tested.
What's wrong with my face?
My mouth is… It's turning into a beak.
It's 92 % goose. 93?
96? Peter is 100 % goose.
We'll be right back after a few words from the grownups.

Hey grownups, have you ever found yourself really in need of a sitter but you don't know where to look?
You already texted everyone you know and looking online can be just kind of overwhelming.
I know when I first became a parent, I didn't even know where to start with finding a sitter and I really could've used a service like Sitter city.
They have sitters that fit your family, sitters that you can trust, and sitters that kids really like.
It's important to me that sitters know about child development and that they engage with kids using creative play, and at Sitter City they really emphasize all of that.
When you open Sitter City, you just know you're gonna find someone solid, complete with references and all sorts of impressive credentials.
Find a sitter that's perfect for your family at sittercity .com We got a letter from Science news, the magazine.
They want to do a feature on you!
The first ever person to be turned into a goose.
And they want to interview me, the scientist who made it happen!
Haha! Aww thanks peter!
Congrats to you too.
And check out this letter, it's from the Switzerland panel of science, they're going to give me the prestigious gromlers award for scientific breakthrough of the year of course we can go there together to accept the award i couldn't have done this without you i know we have come a long way in the last 15 minutes at first i wasn't sure if it was a good idea for you to turn into a goose but we're making the best of it aren't we and it's pretty cool that learning to understand your honks sure here's some torn up bread enjoy but then we need to start packing hey nimini hey goose peter did I hear you
say packing where are you going I've won some prestigious science award I'm sorry you're right we've won some prestigious awards and we're going to travel the world and accept them well that's so fun do you mind if I sing a song about your travels to show that time is passing oh that That sounds amazing!
But he's happy because he's traveling the world with his friends And he's winning all sorts of awards There's nothing to do, all sorts of fun to his things Like standing on the Eiffel Tower And going to the top he lives to kiss And oh look they are flying back to the safe NOW!
Wow Peter, I had a great time traveling the world with you for the last two minutes, but I'm glad we're back on the story pirate ship with all of our friends.
Yeah, totally! You know Peter, even though you're a goose, I feel like I got to know you a little bit better the last few days.
This has been really fun.
Oh wow, you feel like you got to know me better, too?
that's great hey come on let's put all these awards and trophies we got in my lab oh no peter be careful you could knock something over you've knocked into my sound effect machine oh no those are my various liquids and goons uh oh you broke the glasses on the highest shelf now the goo is spilling into the person to goose transformation machine Peter, I know you're just trying to help, but you need to be careful.
The machine is malfunctioning.
Wait, what are you?
Are you pressing the button again?
Hello, huh? Oh my goodness.
Peter, you've transformed back from goose to person.
This is remarkable.
Ha, I guess all that goo fell into the machine and somehow turned it into a goose to person reverseifying machine.
Incredible. We've made another groundbreaking discovery.
And we did it, together.
This has been an eye opening experience for me, Nimeny.
I enjoyed being a goose.
I had a great time, but I'm happy to be a person again.
And I learned an important lesson.
What's that? You shouldn't go around pressing random buttons until you hear the whole sentence about what they do.
That's a good lesson to learn.
I also learned a lesson.
I learned that scientific breakthroughs can come from anywhere.
when you least expect.
That's beautiful. I'm going to go eat some leaves and worms. Should we do another story?
Yeah! And here to introduce it is the author!
Oh look, a button! Hi, my name's Noah and I'm thirteen.
Hi, I'm Amr and I'm ten.
And we live in Ontario, Canada.
And this is our story!
Dad Jokes Take Over the World.
Oh wow, it's way past lunchtime and I haven't eaten anything at all.
Oh Dad! Hold on. I'm just in the middle of reading the biggest book I could find about World War 2.
Let me just put it down.
Yes? I'm hungry. You're hungry, you say?
Yes. Well hi, hungry.
I'm dad. Very funny.
Can you make me a sandwich?
Sure thing. Poof! You're a sandwich. Ugh, dad?
Yes, hungry? Are you gonna keep doing that?
Doing what? Telling dad jokes?
Oh, I'm not telling dad jokes.
I'm telling you jokes.
My dad's not even here.
Ugh, stop! I'm not sure I can stop.
Forget it. I'm gonna go watch TV where no one makes cheap, easy jokes.
Well, I wonder who that could be.
I have a package here for a dad.
Oh, that's me. Oh, goodie.
My khakis and assorted drill bits are here.
Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be on my way.
Hey, Mr. Mailman. Yeah?
What's the key to telling a mailman joke?
I don't know, what?
Good delivery. Was that a dad joke?
Yup, it was. Ha, I didn't like it.
But I suddenly have an intense urge to tell someone else a dad joke.
Hey you, the person jogging.
Yes? Why are envelopes terrible runners?
I don't know, why? Because they're stationary.
That's why I took out my headphones.
So you could tell me a complete stranger, a dad joke.
Oh that is so strange.
And something that I also feel the need to do right now.
Hey, everybody, who won the neck decorating contest?
It was a tie! Wow, seems like everyone wants to make dad jokes now.
Oh well, what's the worst that could happen?
Everyone, welcome to the Very Serious Business Meeting here at Very Serious Business Co.
As you know, the company is in big trouble.
So I need to hear some ideas right now.
Why is the printer a party animal?
Anderson, what are you talking about?
I'm sorry, never mind please, continue.
okay now if we could just...I said why is the printer a party animal?
Um...why? Because it's always jamming I'm so sorry I don't know what came over me someone told me a dad joke earlier and ever since I've been itching to tell one myself.
Well that was a waste of our valuable time.
People we're losing lots of money fast especially the last quarter!
Well, that's not very much money at all!
I would like to apologize.
That was... very inappropriate.
Enough of these dad jokes!
The fact is, if we don't get serious right here and now, we'll all be unemployed!
Then we'll all have to get jobs at a bakery!
A bakery? Why? Because we need dough.
What have I done? Boss, you can't make jokes about unemployment!
Why not because it doesn't work Ma 'am thank you for coming to the very serious delivery room There's no better place for you to have this baby today doctor is it safe You know with all the dad jokes out there.
I assure you that we've taken all the proper precautions No one in this room has smiled since 1987 and personally I've never told a joke in my life.
Okay good It's amazing how calm you are with all those dad jokes out there.
I'm always calm. You see, as a doctor, I have patience.
Was that… a dad joke?
No. It couldn't be.
I don't know any. I mean, I once heard a joke about amnesia, but I forgot it.
Oh my goodness! Doctor!
How did they cure the invisible man?
What? They took him to the ICU!
Now I'm telling Dad jokes, and the baby's coming!
Push! Oh congratulations, it's a healthy baby boy.
Oh thank goodness, that was quick!
And here you go, wrap him up in this blanket, and I present to you, your healthy baby boy.
Did you know that dogs can't work an MRI machine?
Huh? But cats can! Did my baby… Just make a dad joke?
I'm so sorry. Ehhhhh… Welcome to The Serious News.
Our top story, dad jokes have taken over the world.
But that won't stop me, a Serious News reporter, from bringing you our next story.
A monk who's been under a vow of silence for the last 50 years is finally breaking it.
It seems he has discovered the true meaning of life and is ready to share.
Mr. Monk, welcome to the show.
Hello, I am ready to share what I have discovered.
In these dark dad joke times, we can all use a little hope.
Please. Knock knock.
Who's there? Banana.
Banana who? Knock knock.
Who's there? Banana.
Banana who? Knock knock.
Who's there? Orange.
Orange who? Who? Orange you glad I didn't say banana?
That's it? The meaning of life is a bad dad joke?
No, it's all pointless!
I'm sorry. Let me try again.
Pete and Repeat were in a boat.
Pete fell out. Who was left?
Repeat? OK, I'll repeat it.
Aah! We interrupt this broadcast to bring you a televised address from the president.
Good evening, my fellow Americans.
There comes a time in all our lives when we must be brave and stand up to a threat.
I'm talking, of course, about dad jokes.
We've all heard them and it seems we can't help ourselves Now telling an ordinary joke is good why it's downright American But when does a joke become a dad joke, and I'll tell you when the joke is apparent.
Oh Oh no, cut the broadcast. I can't stop making dad jokes.
What's Obama's favorite vegetable a broccoli?
Now even the TV is making dad jokes dad Everyone is making dad jokes because of you.
Sorry hungry Well, there's only one person who can fix a problem this big.
MOM! Yes, sweetie? What did dad do this time?
He's being annoying again and he made everyone in the world tell dad jokes and also I never got lunch. Alright, I'll take care of this.
Hey you. Drummer who keeps following everyone around?
Drummer? Who, me? Yes.
Stop it. Aw, come on I just wanna make everyone let me do it.
No, dad. Dad. I just wanna do one more - Stop it.
Stop it! I'm just going to do it one more time.
Just one more please.
Don't do it! Are you listening to me?
Stop it! No, I said no. Sorry.
The end! And now, Lee speaks with the author.
Hi Amira and Noah. Hi.
Hi. So how did you guys come up with the idea for this story?
Well, our dad makes horrible dad jokes.
So that's one thing.
Uh, we were kind of just on the way back from dinner, and so, my dad kind of— Yeah, really bad thing.
Yeah, makes a bad joke, so it was—that was one of the main things that inspired it.
Is it like a constant thing?
Or are there certain— It's a constant thing.
Yeah. It's a constant.
Really constant. Can you think of anyone in particular that was, like, really bad?
There's a lot. There's a lot.
He said meow a lot… Yeah, he doesn't— There's no reason.
He says meow? Yeah.
Yeah. No reason. A lot of the time, like I'll just be like sitting on the couch and I'll see him like peeking through the door.
Yeah, he does that a lot.
Like with a smile. Yeah.
It's really weird and creepy.
There's this one where he says, hey, he's little Abba.
A cutesy little what?
So in Hebrew, the word dad is Abba.
So I used to say, I'm a cutesy little Abba.
So it's a long running bit.
Leave it up to a dad to just keep that going forever.
It was probably a long time ago that you said that.
When I was like five or something.
These aren't just verbal jokes, he's being weird all the time.
Yeah, a lot. Yeah, a lot, a lot.
What does your mom think about this?
My mom love the jokes.
No, she's laughing right now.
In real life, does your mom, Does she have that kind of power in your own household to stop the jokes?
Yes, definitely. She kinda likes them sadly, but...
Yeah. We hope to someday bring her onto the good side.
Okay, do you want to hear a dad joke that I've been working on that I really love?
Yeah, let it out. Do you guys know the name of the person who has been impersonating an owl lately?
I don't know, who? Oh, who?
Ha ha ha ha ha. We got him.
Got it. I'm very proud of myself.
Do you think that's funny or was that just annoying?
That was a bad joke.
That was a bad joke.
I'm sorry that I inflicted that on you.
It's okay. Don't tell your dad that joke.
He'll be using it forever.
Yeah. Noa and Amira, I love your stories so much. Thank you guys for letting us perform.
Okay, thank you so much. This has been such a dream of mine.
Yeah, and mine. Oh, you're so welcome.
Take care. Bye! Bye.
And now it's time for Story Pirates Roll Call!
First up, from a ten -year -old in Illinois named Regan, we have The Day My Fish Grew Wings!
And, yep, you guessed it!
This story is about a fish who grows wings and flies around.
But what you didn't guess is that Uncle Pete is a wizard and sings one song before he solves this fish flying problem.
Reagan, incredibly creative story.
Thank you so much for sending it in.
Next up from Oliver, a 5 -year -old in Alaska, we have the paintbrush who's never been used.
And you can probably imagine that a paintbrush who's Never been used is pretty sad, but luckily Mr. Tippy, that's the paintbrush here, found a friend in a magical baby star that Mr. Tippy the paintbrush walks up rainbow steps to meet.
And the baby star gives Mr. Tippy magic and a drop of all the colors of the rainbow.
And Oliver writes, "'The paint went inside him and there was a button on him.
Then when a person pressed a button, and paint went to his tip, and then he painted 188 pictures and Mr. Tippy got his happiness back.
Excellent work, Oliver, thanks for sending it in!
And finally, we have a story from Annika, an eight -year -old in Colorado called Tiny Tricky Turtle.
Here it is, ahem. Once there was a tiny turtle with a top hat and his name was Fred.
Underneath his previously mentioned top hat was a smaller top hat.
Under that was a smaller top hat.
And under that was a peanut, because Fred stole peanuts in the dead of night, but somehow he never got caught.
The end. Annika, I did not see that coming, but I guess no one did because this turtle was smart enough to hide the stolen peanuts under multiple top hats.
Incredible work, my friend.
To read all of today's roll call stories, just head to storypirates .com.
Now it's time for you to write us a story.
And if you don't know where to start, here's an idea, take a picture of something normal and then make up a story of what you imagined could be happening in the picture.
Kind of like this one from Ezra the author of the Spy Who Couldn't Lie.
Okay, Ezra, can you describe this photo to me?
Um, well, it's just me holding a plate of scrambled -egg taco.
Okay. Yep. That's what it looks like.
And what's your idea for what could be happening in the picture?
My story idea based on the picture is that they're not actually eggs or tacos.
They're actually pancakes disguised with holograms because all the other foods are jealous of them.
You see, listeners, sometimes writing a story is about finding an image that inspires you.
Grown -ups can submit stories at storypirates .com.
And remember, we respond to every single story we receive.
That's it for today's episode.
Thanks for listening and a big thanks to today's authors, Ezra, Noah, and Amira.
We'll be back next week with another new episode.
Until then, stay creative and stay kind.

Okay Peter, I have a confession.
What is it, Lee? I I really liked it when you were a goose.
You did? Uh -huh. I don't understand.
Didn't you miss me?
Well, sure. But I don't think these things are mutually exclusive.
I missed you, Peter.
But, I also really liked it when you, Peter, were a goose.
I think I understand.
But Nimini's Machine is now designed to turn a goose back into a person.
I don't think it could turn me into a goose anymore.
I guess you're right.
But, I suppose that I could pretend to be a goose for you, Lee.
Really? You'd do that...for me?
Sure. Just, you know, every once in a while.
Peter, I would really, really love it if you did that.
Well, maybe I will if you promise to...
feed me some torn up pieces of bread?
You bet I will! Then it's a deal!
Here I go! Honk! Yes!
Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk!
Honk! Honk! Here. Have some bread!
Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk!
Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk!
Honk! You
