Transcript:
Charlie Brown sits at a table. A sheet of paper and an envelope lie in front of him. He sucks the tip of his pencil.<br> <br> He bends over the paper and writes: "Dear Pencil-Pal, I guess by this time everybody but you knows that I have a baby sister."<br> <br>; "I should have written sooner to tell you, but I have been very nusy. Her name is Sally. We like her and she likes us."<br> <br> Charliee looks off to one side and lays down his pencil: "Oh, oh!"<br> <br> Charlie Brown stands in front of an open refrigerator and lifts up a bottle.<br> <br> He holds it over a heating ring.<br> <br> He whistles as the bottle heats up.<br> <br> He shakes some milk onto his wrist.<br> <br> He walks, carrying the bottle.<br> <br> He walks back without the bottle. <br> <br> He sits at the table and wrties, "In a way, this has been a good experience for me. I have learned a lot. As ever, Charlie Brown."<br> <br>
Ah! The good old days when “a lot” was not written as “alot”.
