Once there was a girl named Abigail who was in love with a boy named Gregory. Gregory had an unfortunate accident and broke his glasses, Abigail, being a true friend, volunteered to take them to be repaired. But the repair shop was across the river, and during a flash flood the bridge was washed away. Poor Gregory could see nothing without his glasses, so Abigail was desperate to get across the river to the repair shop. While she was standing forlornly on the bank of the river, clutching the broke glasses in her hands, a boy named Sinbad glided by in a rowboat.
She Asked Sinbad if he would take her across, He greed to on the condition that while she was having the glasses repaired, she would go to a nearby store and steal a transistor radio that he had been wanting, Abigail refused to do this and went to see a friend named Ivan who has a boat.
When Abigail told Ivan her problem, he said he was too busy to help her out and didn’t want to be involved. Abigail, feeling that she has no other choice, returned to Sinbad and told him she would agree to his plan.
When Abigail returned the repaired glasses to Gregory, she told him what she had had to do. Gregory was so mad at what she had done he told her that he never wanted to see her again.
Abigail, upset, turned to Slug with her take of woe. Slug was so sorry for Abigail that he promised her he would get even with Gregory, They went to the school playground where Gregory was playing ball and Abigail watched happily while Slug beat Gregory up and broke his glasses.
