GRIFFON KINGDOM
The Present




We zoom in to a street in this city, where a friendly-looking Griffon can be seen. The griffon calls out for his son. "Gregor! Gregor! Gregor" he shouts; adding to his shouting, he says something in German. Gregor naturally replies in German too. He explains, "Hello! Hello! My name is Gregor. That's my father, Lewis. You can see his store at the back of him."

We come into his house where we see somegriffon by the name of Garbo. Garbo is Gregor's cat kid. Garbo didn't do her homework last night and he believes that the family's schoolteacher, Drex, is going to make him check parking meters in Martinique if he doesn't do what he says. And Garbo doesn't know how to drive yet.

We are interrupted by another German-speaking Griffon. Gregor reminds us kindly, "Please ignore her for she has no place in this sequence."

This is none other than Gregor's big sister, Gretel. Gretel eyes Gregor's little lamb toy.

"Look! Old Mr. Gregor had a farm, E I E I O! And on his--"

"Gretel!" Gregor shouts to the giggling girl.

Gregor states, "Uh, um...well...this is my big sister. The farm animal toys that I have are not the focus of this picture though."

Garbo says, "Please go ask her teacher, 'Cheery Flowers', if she knows the answer to the numbers 8, 10, and 12." Gregor replies, "'Cheery Flowers' is not her teacher's name, you idiot!"
