AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Andy writes a story of Kittens, Puppies and Ponies about the three playing and having a peaceful time in their town in a short story competition, assuming that this was the judges' demand. Since it fails, Andy mixes it up by making it dreadful and evil. Doing this causes Lisa to be amazed by Andy's writing. However since Lisa was crying about it, it gave the impression it was a bad thing so he blamed it on Danny. Eventually the story still didn't win, instead Danny was credited for being runner-up in the school's competition of literature.' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Crazy!)
