In a land before time, far far away, there was a legendary kingdom called Sugarland.  Its citizens were gentle and kind. 

Narrator (CONT'D)
Yes, once again we are in Sugarland and it's time for another story. Ah... The story of the Daydreamer's Can of Oil. There was a Sheppard called Seth.

Yes, this Seth was used to getting a bowl of oil every day in return for looking after the sheep. He would then collect all the oil in a large jug made from clay. His hope was that one day...
Sheppard
Hey mate, you're giving away the whole story, alright. I just can't work like this?
NARRATOR
Huh, your right. Hahaha... Let's just follow the story together, then. 
Sheppard
Haha OK. Finally it's full. Now I'll take it to market, sell it and make a pile of money! In fact, tomorrow I'll go to the boss. I'll tell him I gonna go to the master, and say... I'll tell him, I won't be a Sheppard anymore. Then he'll say but why, Seth? With the voice of his. Then I'll tell him, it's not Seth, it's Master Seth. I'm a somebody now. Are you saying I'm telling a fib? Well then, just look for yourself.
