<p>Cleaning can be fun! </p>
<p>Deep in the confines of a packrat’s abode this magical Monopoly tin was hidden.  Discovered years later, the hinges squeaked while the girl slowly opened it, holding her breath hoping it the remains of a forgotten lunch was not rotting inside.  Surprised and intrigued as the contents are revealed to her she tentatively reaches inside.</p>
<div><em>Pop, pop, pop! </em></div>
<div>“Ow!”  Sucking her blistering thumb she reads the labels on the boxes inside.  <em>Pop, Pop!</em>  Antique looking firecrackers acting like booby traps, protect papers below.  Brimming with curiosity she gingerly handles the booby traps until the mysterious paper is unearthed.</div>
<p>&#8220;A treasure map!”  What child or adult wouldn’t dream?<br />

<p>&#8220;Eliza!  There are so many things wrong with this post.&#8221;</p>
<p>Besides the fact that you have no Sir Fartalot?<br />
no&#8230;No&#8230;NO!  Not the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">shoebox</span>!</p>
<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s start over.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There once was an opinionated ant.<br />
A shoe came down and she went splat.&#8221;<br />

<p>Once there &#8216;was a boy, a strange melancoly boy.  He wandered very far, very far, over land and sea&#8230;&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8220;Uhm, just wondering, were you planning on singing or telling a Snapped Story?&#8221;</p>
<p>That song, it&#8217;s so sad!</p>
<p>&#8220;Ants can&#8217;t cry!&#8221;</p>
<p>Says who, Tom Hanks? </p>
<p>That&#8217;s in baseball and you&#8217;ve gotten terribly off subject.  The 1up mushroom??&#8221;</p>
<p>Work, work, work.  Focus, focus-</p>
<p>&#8220;THE POINT.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>Once there was a mutant mushroom, he caught the eye of two violent plumbers.  They ate him, stole him and exploited him on a whim on a very vain, needy princess.  This mushroom decided to go on strike.  After being threatened into being made into a mushroom risotto, he skipped town and hid out in a Holiday Inn.  Ensconced in bed with feather pillows beckoning him, he began to relax and then the dreaded noise seeped in through the next room.  Do.do.do.do.do.do.do&#8230;</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: justify">Oh no, a giant grabbed the plate away!  How cruel, after traveling so far, dreaming so hard her prize was snatched before she could savor even one bite. </h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify">As the ant sadly watched, the giant slowly lowered the plate down into the grass below.  &#8220;What?  She&#8217;s leaving the plate there!&#8217;  The ant began her trip back down, hoping the picnic would wait for her.</h3>
