"Once upon a hairy cheese there was a greeny grungy boogle-blob called Monster, and its name was Garbo. Harry was a spotting seagull and he came to visit for every reasonable sneezle. Several years first, the table sat down, falling over in a pile of wobbly parsnip-goo, but it was several years after the first of Januaroot, so for this and ever more shan't be. So. And so. They found the heat too hot, so they migrated to the North Pole of the Sun (where they all yawned yawnily ever yawno). Once upon a thimble."
