Narrator
In Sugarland there was a man named Farver. He was a hot shot merchant who travelled all over the world. He bought and sold everything: Crystal-land Dishes, Silk City Shawls, Pepper-land Spices, Tidy Town Cleansers and, hang on a second, what is this, Farver?
Judge
Haha. Never mind. Not everybody has to know what I have and don't have.
Narrator
Just this once, tell me. What is it? 
Judge
Okay, but only because you have to narrate for posterity that I was the first to import this treasure into Sugarland, that I will tell you. What you see here is the eye on the world. You can find everything from A to Z and beyond. Brought it all the way from China. Wait until it gets to Sugarland. It will be a riot. You'll see...
NARRATOR
You don't say! Okay, let's go along and see.

KID #2
Ah, Momma, what's two plus two?
Ranna
It adds up to four. 
Judge
Hi everyone, Daddy's home. 
Ranna
Hi honey, welcome back.
KID #2
Hi, daddy. 
Judge
Hahaha... Guess what I brought home for the family.
Ranna
Oh my, how would I know... Is it a bracelet? 
Judge
No, no. Much better than that bracelet. 
Ranna
Does it fit in my purse?
Judge
NNNo, I mean yes. It fits in a purse, but it would rip the strap off. 
Ranna
Then it must be a juicer.
Judge
Well, you can find all kinds of food on it too. Let me give you a hint. It's something that gives you hours of pleasure. 
KID #2
Ah... It's a video game!
Judge
No... but I've seen a few video games on it too. It's true... 
Ranna
Honey... are you feeling okay? That's impossible?
Sammy
Loving family... I'm home. Hey, cool, you got a TV...
Judge
Hey, give it here. How do you know what a TV is?
Sammy
Of course I know. All my buddies over seas have plasma, and LCD, wide screen TVs... 
Sammy (CONT'D)
Ah dad, you should lose the 14 inch screen? Kinda ruins the cinematic experience. 
Judge
Quiet. You spoiled thankless brat. Even a 2 inch is too much for you. 
Ranna
Now honey, what does a TV actually do?
Judge
Hahaha. Good question. Sit down my dear and watch!

Ranna
Now that's funny!
Judge
Great show, right?... Okay, that's enough. The people inside the TV are tired. 
Sammy
Oh. The show's almost over. Lets just see the end, alright? 
Judge
Really? And, I guess you'd watch until the set burned out?!
NaRRATOR
And there you go, from that day on, Farver's TV became a whole story in and of itself.

So, anyway, girl, you don't know the half of it. And then her mother-in-law, that hateful witch, threw the poor girl out of the house in the middle of the night...
Rosa
That's the result of a poor diet...
Nanna
Let her finish. Then what happened?
