LOOK WHAT'S INSIDE
"Wow! Look at this, Cindy," said Fred.
"What is it?" said Cindy.
"It's a magic ring," said Fred.
"How do you know it's a magic ring?" said Cindy.
"It's got special markings all around it and it's metal. Since when do you find metal rings in cereal boxes?" said Fred.
"So what does it do?" said Cindy.
"I'm gonna put it on and see. Magic rings work best when you wear them. Everyone knows that," said Fred.
"What if it's bad magic?" said Cindy.
"Then you'll help me take it off. Okay?" said Fred.
"Okay, but I don't think Mom is going to like this," said Cindy.
"Whatever... Hey, look! It shrunk down to fit my finger. It really is magic," said Fred.
"Okay, so it's magic. Make it do something," said Cindy.
"I command you to put a hat on my head," said Fred.
"Hey, you have one of those silly hats with bells on it. What good is that?" said Cindy.
"Well, at least I figured out how to make it work. That's more than you've done," said Fred.
Fred pointed to a sheet of paper on the table near by.
"I command you to do my homework," said Fred.
"Look at the pen writing on the paper. It's going so fast," said Cindy.
"Yeah, but it's writing in another language in better handwriting than I can do. The teacher will never accept it," said Fred.
"Try again," said Cindy.
"I command you to make me famous," said Fred.
Fred was on the front page of the local newspaper for setting his house on fire. He kept saying it was the ring that did it, but no ring could be found. He was put on probation and ordered to see a counselor about his pyromania and delusions of a magical ring.
