📖 Sample Text (from "No Shape for Thanksgiving")

"It was almost Thanksgiving and Farmer Brown could not believe the shape his turkeys were in.

You're in no shape for Thanksgiving, he told Squyres. You're stumpy and boxy and shaped like a square.

And you're in no shape for Thanksgiving, he told Trina. You're pointy and bent and shaped like a triangle.

And you're in no shape for Thanksgiving, he told Rex. You're long, and stretched and shaped like a rectangle...."
