20 Delectable Facts That Got Us Hot and Bothered
A very long time ago, in a country far, far away (though we've heard it's not so far), there lived a man. He was very poor. His name was Limerick. He had no wife. His only son was a boy he named Tristram. Tristram had an older sister named Gwendolyn. Gwendolyn was a girl who liked to enjoy this list of interesting facts, which she had put together. Tristram was the black sheep of the family, but that didn't make him any less lovable. It didn't make him less smart. Tristram was one of those people who always seems to know more than the people around him. It was a gift from God. Tristram's father was not at all happy about that. In fact, Limerick hated his son's guts. Tristram was just too smart for his own good. Gwendolyn loved her brother dearly, but she also knew how to be patient with her brother, because Tristram wasn't always the easiest person to get along with. She knew that one day her brother would be a very famous man. Until then, she had her list.
