(Enter Jim, with cheese: Looking very sad and depressed.)

(John looks at him, confused, sitting in a comically large rocking chair with comically large glasses)

John: (Smiles at Jim) Hello Jim, what brings you here?

Jim: I am depressed.

John: (with a straight face) Why are you so depressed?

Jim: There is only one type of cheese in the fridge.

John: Ah, now I see (removes glasses). I think I know what you need. (Proceeds to get up from the chair and go to the nearby closet)

Jim: What are you doing?

John: I am doing you a favor(turns around with a bucket in hand). BEHOLD A BUCKET!!!

Jim: (gasps in total amazement) IT'S A BUCKET!!!

John: Indeed Jim my balding son, it is a bucket! However, I must warn you about this bucket.

Jim: (very confused) What's wrong with this most peculiar bucket?

John: This bucket has been passed down from generation to generation and is very old and is very fragile. IN ADDITION, it also has a dark secret to it.

Jim: (leans closer) What is it?

John: This bucket is actually a pail!!!

Jim: (GASPS Intensely)

John: To inform you, a bucket is a worse version of a pail. It pales in comparison to the strong and powerful pail. So the reason why this pail looks like a bucket is not because of how old it is, but because this bucket has a long tale of tragedy, love, and death!

Jim: Tell me more-please(sits on hands and knees, big eyes pleading).

John:(takes out a dusty old book from inside the bucket, opens it up and begins) In the beginning of time(enter Pail King), there was only metal until the almighty Pail King came and took all the metal and made it into his servants, also known as Peails, these Peails all followed the Pail King as if they did not they would be punished. As the Peails worked all day and all night for the Pail King building his kingdom from the ground up, something peculiar happened one day. One of the many Peails wandered unto an older part of the almost finished Pail Kingdom where a very strange thing caught its eye. A squishy thing unlike anything the Peailing had ever seen.

Jim: (Interjects) Wait a WHAT!

John: Yes indeed, a large squishy thing.

Jim: (stands up)Was it alive? What does it look like? What is it? Why- (Gets cut off)

John: HUSH, Just wait. All will be answered in the story.

Jim: (sits back down quietly) Ok, I will wait.

John: Ok, where was I, ah yes. (long breath) Filled with curiosity, the Peailing went closer to the squishy thing and touched it, this thing felt warm and seemed to have erratic movements. The obvious thing to do was to bring it up to the Pail King, and so it did just that, and when the Pail King saw the squishy thing he gasped in fear(Jim leaned in). The Pail King then told the Peailing to burn it in the incinerator!(Jim jumps back) The Peailing went to do just that, tossing it into the fiery furnace.
