Remus peered into the box and smiled when one of the puppets caught his eyes. Keeping his wand on the puppets representing Cinder-Katelyn and Mister Remus, he put his hand into the box and pulled out another puppet - the cow puppet. A few temporary alterations with his wand, and the puppet now had curly black hair and a warty face.

With a happy smile, Remus turned back and continued his story. "Now, good Mister Remus had left one day for his fishing boat and Cinder-Katelyn was left in the house. Kara-Cow had insisted this."

The Remus puppet left the scene in a puppet boat and Cinder-Katelyn-puppet began to wash the floor. The cow puppet mooed.

"Cinder-Katelyn was worked hard all day with Kara-Cow resting and ordering Cinder-Katelyn around. By the time Mister Remus returned home that night, Cinder-Katelyn couldn't move an inch without being hurt from the amount of work she had done."

Cinder-Katelyn was now curled up in a ball in front of the fireplace in the house. The Cow puppet was resting in the chair while Mister Remus was standing in the doorway of the house.

Now, Remus (the real one) shifted his eyes so that they were looking at his daughter. He hoped that she would understand this bit.

"When Mister Remus saw how horrible Kara-Cow had been to his wonderful daughter Cinder-Katelyn, he yelled at her loudly. He took off his ring and threw it directly at Kara-Cow's head. Then he gave her divorce papers. In real life."
