[bunniefuu]

What's the story, Wishbone?What's

this you're dreaming of?Such a

big imagination on

such a little bug.

What's the story, Wishbone?Do you

think it's worth a look?It

kind of seems familiar, like a

story from a book.

Shake a leg now, Wishbone. Let's

wag anotherTail

sniffing on adventure with

Wish Phone on the trail. Come on,

Wish Phone.

What's the story, Wish Phone?

What's the story, Wish Phone?

What's the story, Wish Phone?

What's the story, Wish Phone?

It's got to be around here somewhere. Oh,

hey, burn. I know I

left it down in here somewhere. Maybe

it's over here. Found it.

Ta-da! One slightly used mud ball.

Whoops. Uh-oh. I'm busted.

Bridge bone. Oh,

it's been a good life.

That's a good doggy. Yes, it is

the sweetest with a dog in all one world.

Yes, it is. Huh

What?Wanda?Are

you okay?I don't know who that was,

but it was not Wanda Gilmore.

HmmThis behavior is very

mysterious. Reminds me of another strange

case. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll

and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Was first written as a novella or short

novel in 1886. Our two-faced

tale begins on the foggy streets of Old

London. John

Utterson, a respected lawyer guy around

town, and his friend Richard Enfield were

taking a quiet stroll together.

What is it, Enfield?Nothing.

NothingWhy?Good man. You look positively

next. Perhaps I am. It's

Justin. I remember this

door from another night.

Passing by it now stairs the most

unpleasant memory, I'm afraid. Of what,

dear friend?Do tell. Well, it

was a few weeks ago, a cold black

winter night. I was on my way to dinner

and I stopped to buy a flower.

I say

a

most thoughtless act. Poor child

indeed. And what was the name of this

fellow?Ah, as I later learned,

a Mr. Edward Hyde. Now you

appear vexed. My dear Enfield, our

mutual friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, has

recently drawn up a will, leaving all his

earthly possessions to this Mr. Hyde.

Why didn't he leave everything to such a

scoundrel?

OK, how is she?Is she back to normal?I

mean, as normal as she gets?

All right, Wanda, now tell me your big

secret. Aha! I knew it!There's a

secret involved. Last night I went to

Pepper Pete's Pizza Parlor. They were

having a special on their vegetarian

double cheese with anchovies and I didn't

want to miss that. Smart move. Never pass

up a pizza opportunity. Plus, they were

having their annual talent show, and I

didn't want to miss that either. Oh, live

entertainment and anchovies.

Did you take Bob Pruitt?No, I

went alone. Bob doesn't like

anchovies, and I don't think he would

enjoy a talent show at Pepper Pete's.

Well, why not?It sounds like fun.

Well, he likes more

intellectual forms of entertainment. He

always invites me to poetry

readings and lute

concerts, that kind of thing. Well,

David, you like that, don't you?Well,

sure, but

sometimes I just want to cut loose and

do something a little less grown up.

Oh, hi, Miss Gilmore. Hi, Joe. Well,

anyway. Hi, Miss Gilmore. Hi,

David. So go ahead. Oh.

Anyway, it turned out to be a

good thing that I went alone.

Why's that?Because you got to eat all the

pizza. I was enjoying my pizza,

watching the usual talent show fare, a

baton twirler, a tap dancer, a

ventriloquist, and then...

he took the stage. Oh,

he was a rock-and-roll sensation. And

here's the good part. He was

looking straight at me during his

entire song. He practically sang the

whole thing to me. Oh, Wanda, that's so

exciting. Did you meet him after the show?

Well, I I didn't actually meet him, but

at the end of his performance, he jumped

off the stage and tossed me his

sunglasses and then he disappeared. Oh,

what do you think it all means?I

think it means

he likes me.

What's his name?His name is Lou

Dublin. Naturally, he won

first prize at the talent show. And

here's the good part. Pepper Petes is

having him back for an encore solo

performance tomorrow night.

Ellen, I have to be there. Oh, of

course you do. So we'll all go together.

You, me, Joe, David, Sam.

My treat, of course. Wanda,

it's a school night. Oh, please.

I'm just so nervous about seeing him

again. Um, well,

all right. But we have to make it an

early night. Right. Of course. Thank you

so much.

Any kind of pizza you want, you name it.

Hey, wait a minute. Aren't you supposed

to go out with Bob Pruitt tonight?Oh,

right. The poetry reading. Well.

I'll just have to cancel. We'll see you

tomorrow night, then. Say,

seven-ish. Sounds good.

Well, until then,

rock'n'roll. Wanda,

that's the broom closet. Right.

I knew that. Oh, my.

We'll even bring home some pizza crust

for Wishbone. She say what I thought she

said?Wow, she must really like this guy.

I hear that free

pizza. I better make sure she gets home

all right.

Bob.

Wow, this is a surprise. A

rose is a rose.

And these are for you. An

enchanted moment. Thanks.

You know, I know I said that I was going

to be free tomorrow night. Well,

anyway, my point is-- This is really

unexpected. I'm sorry. Oh, no. No, noYou

go on. Go ahead.

Well, I just can't make it. I just can't

make it. You can't make?

Fine.

Fine.

Well, fine. Uh,

life's little soap operas.

Hi, Mr. Pruitt.

Hi, Mr. Pruitt. Well, that is fine. That

is just fine.

What's wrong with him?I don't know.

Wake up, sleepy head. I don't want to go

to school. Hey,

this is not like me at all. I'm usually

the first one up. Awake all night,

sleeping all day. I didn't know better.

I'd swear I was turning into a a cat.

Oh, no. I've got Kitty cooties.

Oh, this can't be. Let me see in the

mirror. My eyes are beadier. My nose is

shorter. I've got more whiskers. Is this

really me?Or am I becoming someone

else?

Utterson was worried about his old

friend, Dr. Jekyll. Let

me ask you a question, Jekyll, as your

lawyer and your friend. Yes?I want

to know why you're leaving everything in

your will to this Mr. Hyde.

I know that it distresses you. Oh, I've

heard some very unpleasant things about

Mr. Hyde. Dear friend, I

cannot change the will. But Hyde is a

truly evil person. It makes no

difference. You do not understand my

circumstances. I am

painfully situated, Utterson.

My situation is very strange.

Jekyll, you know me. You can trust me.

Let me help you.

My friend, this is very good of you. And

I cannot find words to thank you for your

concern. But is Hyde forcing you to put

him in the will?Is there blackmail

involved?I'll just

to put your good heart at rest. I will

tell you one thing. The moment I

choose, I can get rid of Mr.

Hyde. I give you my word upon

that. You're sure there's nothing I can

do?Nothing, my friend.

You must excuse me, Artisan, but the hour

is late, and I still have some work to do

in my laboratory. Can you let

yourself out?Well, certainly. Good

evening. Hmm

Something here is definitely not

right.

Mr. Prude, it's never this late.

All right, let's

all turn in our books to page



To begin with the chapter on RobertFrost.

Mr. Pruitt, we already finished

the chapter on Robert Frost.

Oh. So we did.

So we did. Right.

Well, then, let's go to the next chapter.

Page 189,

The Poetry of Ogden Nash.

I think we did that last week.

Well then, since the class seems to

be so well versed with every great poet

in this book, there will be a surprise

examination tomorrow.

I suggest you all spend the remainder of

this hour studying.

That's not like Mr. Pruitt at all, but

he's never pulled a surprise exam on us

before. Say goodbye to

pizza, I guess. Well, we still have a

while before we have to leave. Let's all

study together. Sure. OK.

Question. How could an all-around nice

guy like Mr. Pruitt change overnight?

Just ask Henry Jekyll. I've

got to find out what Hyde is up to and

what he wants with Dr. Jekyll.

Doctor Henry Jekyll believed that man was

not truly one, but truly 2A mixture of

good and evil. He was experimenting with

a way to separate his evil side from his

good side. So he mixed up a

chemical recipe that transformed him into

the purely evil guy named Edward

Hyde.

If he be Mr. Hyde, I shall be Mr.

Seek.

What do you think of this one?

Leaves quite an impression,

doesn't it?It does leave

an impression.

Wanda, this isn't what you were wearing

the first time you met. Him,

is it?Oh, heavens. No. Well,

then tonight, why don't you just dress as

you normally would?You know, just be

yourself. Myself.

Ellen. What's so special about

me?Well, a lot, obviously.

Bob Pruitt likes you for who you are. Bob

Pruitt is stuffy. No, my

dear. Tonight I must

dress to impress. He's the

king of rock'n'roll and I'm his

queen. Wow,

a whole new side of Wanda has been

unleashed. Why am I scared?

What's everybody staring at then?

Anyone who fixes me with an unkind

eye walks away with a bloody lip.

That's right. Back to

your pathetic business, the

lot of you.

Yeah, barkeeper.

Cask of your finest deal

on the double. I'm sorry, Mr.

Hyde. I won't.

What?You remember what happened last

time. You're a menace, Hyde,

and you're unwelcome here now.

I suggest you leave at once.

Do you now?

Well then I'll

leave. I'll leave

this place a shambles. Now

see you.

Yeah, who made this mess?Edward

Hyde. And it's not the first time either.

Usually a certain Doctor Jekyll comes

around later to pay for the damages. So

Doctor Jekyll pays for the sins of Mr.

Hyde.

And now it's time to play poetry for

pizza. Two roads

diverged and a wood. And I,

I took the one less traveled by. And that

has made all the difference. OK,

name that poet. Joe.

Come on, Joe. New England poets for 10

points. David.

Come on, you guys. Robert Frost.

I knew that. I think.

OK, try this one.

I'm nobody. Who are you?Are

you nobody, too?I'll give you a hint.

This poet lived in Amherst, MA, and

didn't get out much. Emily

Dickinson. That is correct. You got

it, Joe.

Oh, it's time to go. Pizza time.

Already. But we hardly even studied.

Well, we can just bring our books with

us. Yeah, I'm gonna get a super

jumbo. See you later, Wishbone. Pizza

and poetry. Mmm, mmm! I like it.

Hey, don't forget me when it's leftover

time!

Yes. Oh, there's

pizza. It's a pizza. Oh, that's good.

Yeah. Wanda, have some pizza. Oh,

save some for me, will you, Ellen?I'm too

nervous to eat. There are children among

us, Wanda. I offer no guarantees.

OK, sunset and evening star.

And one clear call for me. May there be

no moaning of the bar when I put out to

sea.

Tennison. All

right. OK, here's one.

There's a certain slant of light on

winter afternoon. And now, ladies and

gentlemen, the moment you've all been

waiting for. Let's give a big Pepper

Peach welcome for the exciting summer

stylings of Mr. Lou

Douglas. Well, lookie, lookie what the

dog dragged in.

Come here, darling. Yeah, you're looking

beautiful tonight. And I mean that. Would

you run in there and give me a double

everything?Oh, I saw you

here the other night, didn't I, darling?

I'll never forget you.

Ow! Hey, devil in the blue dress, get on

over here and help me with this, will you?

That's it, darling. Thank you

very much. Wonder, baby?This one's

going out just for you, honey.

Well, I'm a puppy dog for your love.

You make me howl up to the no buff.

I come running, coming out my puppy

dog for your love. Like it, like it, all

right. No little babies,

but don't make me cry.

Just get into my puppy eyes, can't you

see them shine?Look at me, I'll

be your perche, a new puppy dog

for your love.

Hey, Wanda.

Wanda. Oh, wait, Wanda, wait.

Wanda, please, let me explain.

That was a very cruel thing to do, Bob

Pruitt. I was going to tell you, really.

When?After I had thoroughly embarrassed

myself?Oh, Wanda, I didn't dream in a

million years you'd be at the contest

Tuesday night. Well, I

was. Yes, you were.

And the moment I saw you, I couldn't take

my eyes off of you.

Well, of all things, Bob Pruitt, king of

rock'n'roll. About a month ago, I saw an

ad for a contest here at Pepper Pete's,

and I had done some singing in college,

and I thought it would be fun. And what

do you know?I won. What do you know?But

it's been rather difficult. I was up all

night rehearsing. I was late for school

this morning. I've hurt my shoulder

permanently from doing this 1000 times.

Well, why didn't you just tell me about

this double lie?I was going to. I really

was. But I was afraid.

Of what?That

you wouldn't like plain old Bob Pruitt

anymore. Oh, Bob,

you silly goose.

All you have to do is be yourself.

Doggy bag! Oh, boy, I've been looking

forward to this all night. Okay, look

cute. Look cute. Ohh

Just a hint of anchovies. I love that.

All it took was 1 slightly embarrassing

moment to reveal Lou Dublin for who he

really was. In the strange case of Mr.

Hyde, though, it took something a little

more drastic. m*rder*r.

m*rder*r. m*rder*r.

Who was it, Miss?I I've seen him before.

He's a master. His name was Mr. Hyde.

Where did he go?He ran down the street

and scurried off into the black door

there. Enfield. Better Constable.

Why?It's Jekyll's house. Henfield,

I fear we've arrived too late. Has Hyde

struck again so soon?

No, Henry.

Perhaps this explains everything. In the

letter, Jekyll explained how his

experiment had turned into an ugly battle

with himself. Jekyll had unleashed the

evil Hyde and then lost control of him,

and he couldn't get rid of Hyde without

getting rid of Jekyll. My

friend, you created your own worst enemy.

I wish I had been here to help you.

Good morning, everybody.

Sounds like everyone is ready for today's

examination. Good.

I am too. You see,

last night three of my

students were seen at a pizza parlor

carrying with them their poetry

texts, such

medication, and gave me

an idea for today's test, a

taste test. Today,

we will examine the beauty

and perfection of Pepper Pete's

specialty of the house. I've ordered

pizza for everybody. Yeah! Way

to go, Mr. Pruitt!

Okay, no problem. I'll just cover this up

before she notices, and everything will

be back. Go!Hi!

Wishbone, this is a disaster! Well,

that's the Wanda Gilmore I know!

You dart digger! You just

flower eater! That's me!

Well, at least things are back to normal.

Bye! Where are you going?
