STANLEY : Apathy and selfishness just blinds your life . You need to learn how to care for our world better .
( Stanley storms off the stage , dropping a glowing gold pencil .)
FRANK : Hey , Stanley ! You dropped your ... woah , this pencil is glowing !

Finders keepers ! Thanks for this crazy looking pencil !
( Frank frolicks off stage . Curtains close .)

NARRATOR :
Well , unbeknownst to Frank , this was a magic pencil and it would change his life forever .

( Frank starts to write .)
