AUTHOR'S NOTE: This story is written in the style of 16th century playwright William Shakespeare, whose work is widely accepted as literature. I ask you view it not as script format, but as a respectable imitation of the work of the Bard.

PROLOGUE. Once, long ago, much more than you think,
In a place you, mayhaps, have observèd in dreams
Did the story to follow this prologue take sink:
At the Holiday Lands' extremes.
Methinks you may wonder whence holidays come.
The answer is plain: from Holiday Lands;
(Some festive, some trying, and then doleful some.
Each joyous or sad as occasion demands)
For you see now, full simply, that is what they do:
Create one certain holiday, producèd for you.
Alas! There once happèd a great calamity
When it chancèd two holidays met, you will see...
(Exit.)
