Acme Looniversity, the one place where young toonsters learn to be like their teachers, the Looney Tunes themselves. It was nearly Christmas time, and all of the students of Acme Loo were really looking forward to the holidays. Class was about to begin & the students were either reading books or have their own conversations, mostly about Christmas. The school bell rang & everyone took their seats as their teacher, Bugs Bunny, walked into the classroom.
"Good morning, everyone", said Bugs. The class replied, "Good morning, Professor Bunny."
"Are you all excited for the holidays?"
The students nodded & exclaimed "Yeah!" However, one of the students was not looking forward to the holidays. That one student was a little blue cat named Furrball. He lives in a cardboard box in a dark alley & he's always by himself. All his life he's been trying to find a place to call home, but with very little success. There was nobody who cared for him, which is why he was not looking forward to Christmas, as he knows that he will have nobody to spend the holidays with.
"Glad to hear that", Bugs continued, "because I have a couple of announcements to make." All of the students listened carefully to their teacher as he continued.
"First off, I have a special assignment for all of you: you will have until this Friday to come up with one Christmas present to give to only one other student in this class."
The students all exclaimed in excitement. "Ooh, that sounds awesome", said Buster Bunny.
"Like, I can feel the Christmas cheers coming already", exclaimed Shirley the Loon. Babs Bunny replied, "Yeah, me too."
Bugs then continued. "Also, there will be a Christmas Dance being held at the gym this Friday night at 7 o'clock, and everyone is invited."
There were more excitement coming from the students. "Well, I think I know what we're doing Friday night", Buster said to Babs, who looked back at him lovingly.
"A Christmas Dance?" asked Shirley. "That's great! Like, will you be going to the Dance with someone, Fifi?"
Fifi La Fume replied, "Ooh, I know I'll be going weeth mon petite bacon of pig." She then turned to her boyfriend, Hamton J. Pig, and said, "Right, Hamton?"
Hamton got all nervous & said, "Uh, yeah, I guess so, if I'm not busy that night."
"Busy doeeng what?"
"Never mind."
Hamton turned away from Fifi, leaving her raising an eyebrow at him.
"What's wrong, Feef?" Shirley asked the purple skunk.
"I dunno", Fifi replied. "I am, how you say, a bit suspicious. I got a feeleeng Hamton eez hiding something from moi."
"Like, what do you think he's hiding? You think he's going out with someone else or some junk?"
"Maybe."
At the back of the class, Furrball was feeling more gloomy than ever. He knew no one would go to the Christmas Dance with him, and he won't be able to get a present for anyone in the class, due to the fact that he is flat broke.
"Okay, class", Bugs Bunny said, "now open up your books to page 93, as we talk about how to defy gravity."
Furrball took out his schoolbook with the rest of the class. He was wondering how he will be able to get a present for someone or go to the Christmas Dance.
