     There lived a king named Julian. He lived in a garbage can and he showered in his sink with a rag and a bar of soap. He liked to talk, read, and worship God. He sang songs aloud in the tub for all the fellow trash mates to hear. One day the trash can fell over in a storm. Then he was carried into a gutter and he had to face roaches. 

     He didn't mind that part, he just killed them and ate them for dinner. As a result, he grew steadily bigger and soon became too big to fit in the gutter. So, he had to squeeze his way out in the midst of a storm. He then moved into an apartment on 128th street and Northerners, where he then found a man named Pete. At first he was ambivalent over him. Later in the month, he stumbled over a rock, and had fallen in a pot hole, where he had found a $20.00 bill. Pete was curious as to if he was ok or not. 

     So, Pete made the first move towards him and started talking to him. Pete was very strange. He spoke under his breath quite often. Julian started to wonder if this Pete guy was crazy, but was afraid he might get attacked if he asked. So, he decided to avoid that topic and went about the question in an unusual form. He started talking about characteristics he hates in his current friends. Pete responded in a very positive manner, responding with details about his own friends. Turns out they shared a friend named Abraham. 

     The next day Julian was walking to the park to play tag. There he met Pete. He saw Pete was with another person. So, he went over to Pete to talk to him and turns out he was with a girl. Julian got upset over the fact and stormed home. Pete was suddenly heart broken over the fact that him having a female friend offended his new acquaintance. So, he got up off the ground and walked over to Julian's house, where they later realized from their parents that they are actually cousins. 

     Pete felt like he created a fool of himself, because he acted immature over the matter. So, he walked over to Julian's house to apologize. Julian accepted the apology and they went on with their lives.
