A detailed Summary of Words


Big Bird used to be my best friend until I met Harry Potter. I never had any imaginary friends to play with so I had to turn to Count Dracula, Oscar the Grouch, and Grover to entertain me during long, rainy afternoons in the Philippines. Having been fostered by the muppets from birth, I developed a lifelong desire to learn and be exposed to words of all shapes, sizes, and colors.

Sesame Street raised me to be the proper citizen that I am now.

The film version of the book was already in post-production and slated for a November 2001 release. One morning, after I finished milking cows and herding sheep, I stopped by a local bookstore to pick up something else apart from livestock to keep me occupied. My (real human) best friend had been encouraging me to give Harry a try and that morning, I succumbed. I did not leave the house for three days after that initial meeting, except to purchase the remaining installations of the series and milk more cows. In those days I spent cooped up inside a cozy Welsh cottage, my love for beautiful stories was again ignited. I
