There was this boy and he was a very stupid boy and he found a slug and made the slug grow with dog biscuits and it kept growing until it was huge enough to eat the whole world. And guess who saved them? It was te other boy who was really good and he built a time machine and went back and told the boy about the story of what happens and asked him if he could help him with his time machine.

At the bottom left corner there is a fish being turned into a duck and on the bottom right corner there is a boy trying to blow out candles they are both a flipbook also the duck on the middle bottom of every page talks and does stuff not a flipbook.
