Script produced using ‘Plot-O-Matic’<br />

First example:<br />

Once upon a time there<br />

was a dishonest fox and<br />

a vain crow. One day<br />

the crow was sitting<br />

in his tree, holding a<br />

piece <strong>of</strong> cheese in his<br />

mouth. He noticed that<br />

he was holding the piece<br />

<strong>of</strong> cheese. He became<br />

hungry, and swallowed<br />

the cheese. <strong>The</strong> fox<br />

walked over to the crow.<br />

<strong>The</strong> end.<br />

Second example:<br />

Joe the bear was hungry.<br />

He asked Irving the bird<br />

where some honey was.<br />

Irving refused to tell him,<br />

so Joe <strong>of</strong>fered to bring<br />

him a worm if he’d tell<br />

him where some honey<br />

was. Irving agreed. But<br />

Joe didn’t know where<br />

any worms were, so he<br />

asked Irving, who refused<br />

to say. So Joe <strong>of</strong>fered to<br />

bring him a worm if he’d<br />

tell him where any worms<br />

were. Irving agreed. But<br />

Joe didn’t know where any<br />

worms were... and so on.<br />
