The Rough, Rough, Really Rough Draft

The next day, Susan shows me the book. It's already half written! What a disaster! The cover, in the same gold embroidering, says not "Princess and the Pea", but "Princess and the Carrot"! "Princess and the Carrot"! I peek through the book, and I find beautiful gold text all throughout it. Among the text, in red and blue crayon, are these horrible doodles and scribbles. Some of the American flag, some of two people making "Kissy Faces", and some of which you couldn't tell what they were! I sigh a long, miserable sigh. "Do you like it?" Susan asks. "What do you mean?" I say. "I love it!"
