                            got a large ball of                             and wrapped his skinny body with the                             so that it looked like he was solid with                             .  He saw                             standing by the                             and started to speak to her.  She didn’t recognize                             and told him, “You’re too solid, I like my boyfriend                             , who is a scrawny                           .”  Then                            walked away, leaving                              with a surprised                            on his scrawny face.  He quickly unwound the                             and threw it in the trash.                                             ran very fast back to                             .  When she saw                            , she gave him a big kiss on his scrawny face.  For the first time,                            was happy to be the skinniest                             .
