war . They sent me over to their government , and they were SO ANGRY ! They took a picture of me and put it on the news and published it . Even more people were angry . People looked at me as shocking , terrible , and horrific . And I mean , I can see why . I was basically news that Germany was ready to steal some of America ’ s states and hand it over to Mexico . Now , a lot of people ask , “ Which side are you on : allies or central powers ?” And I honestly don ’ t know . I don ’ t have any clue what each of them are for . All I know was that Germany was a lot nicer to me than America , obviously . But I feel very important . I ’ ve retired as a secret agent and now I ’ m a celebrity . People come and take photos of me all the time , known as the reason why America joined the first World War .
