  2. A CRAZY TALE • Once upon a time there lived a very young and very beautiful woman. She lived with her husband, a wealthy movie star, in a mansion near Hollywood. The young woman felt unhappy and neglected because her husband frequently took long trips for movie shoots. One day, while she was alone in the mansion, a handsome rock star drove by in his Bentley. He noticed the young woman, quickly won her heart, and took her away with him. • After a day of partying like a rock star, the young woman found herself abandoned. She discovered that the only path back to her mansion led through the evil town of Ellisonville and Evil Ellison was the mayor. Not willing to brave the great danger alone, the woman visited the home of her godfather. She explained what she had done, and begged forgiveness and help. The godfather, however, was shocked. He refused all help. • The woman had almost given up hope when she spied Sproul The Great. He pledged his unfailing help—for a small price. Unfortunately the woman had no money, so Sproul The Great drove away in his minivan . • The woman had no one left to whom she could turn. She decided to brave the evil town of Ellisonville and the EvilEllison alone. She entered Ellisonville, whereupon the Evil Ellison caused her to be devoured by an angry bear.
