Prologue
"Hans and Franz"
Once upon a time, in a middle school far, far away, there were two boys by the names of Hans and Franz. They were best of friends, for their bond was based upon a shared passion; a passion so great that it could only be broken by death! With every ounce of their hearts, souls, and essences, Hans and Franz loved strudel, for strudel, they felt, was the very embodiment of joy.
Each day, both Hans and Franz would bring a new and exotic strudel to share between them. Never once in eight years had either of them brought the same type twice.
