The Enchanted Finger

"You're going the wrong way, I don't hink, I mean think I can help you out here."

"You lie, you lie a lot. I menace, I mean Dennis, think you, Sammy, lie a lot."

"I don't care, you're still going the wrong way."

Now for the real beginning and ending of the original version of THE ENCHANTED FINGER

The finger would hop and hop and hop, until it would finally reach the other side of the land,
and then the finger would keep on going. The finger would float out into space off the edge of the land. All the
people would gather all of their things and follow, thinking that if they followed, they'd be sent to a better
world to live in peace and harmony. They thought they would just fall into another universe. Many followed the
finger for miles until they either died, or died. You see, they could either die by jumping off the
side of the land, or die because they didn't even make it to the edge (good reasoning huh).

The finger (being a very smart thing, would cling onto the edge of the land before it actually fell. Noone ever
found out his trick, therefore everyone would fall off the cliff and die somewhere. When the finger eventually
got everyone killed, he had all of the power in the land. He had noone to rule over, so he decided there was
no reason for him to keep on living. He thought a lot about following the people he had tricked, and thought maybe
he shuld actually jump off to find out what was really there.

The morning after he thought about this, he hopped along the edge of the land and took a long
jump off of it. To his surprise, he saw ground below him. He fell hard into the ground. Indeed a new world
lay out in front of him. The finger stretched up and saw the land he had just jumped off. He looked back onto the
real world, and beyond millions of trees, he saw people. All the people ran towards him, they started laughing
and cheering for him. The little finger grew a head and it became a big head.

Now whenever someone feels really proud of themselves, they are said to have a big head.
