Mr. McHoof
You know, Mr. Hornsby told me that you have a lot of talent, Piggley.
Piggley
He did?
Mr. McHoof
Oh, yes. And I thought your story was very imaginative and exciting.
Piggley
Thank you! Does that mean I get an A+ on the assignment?
Mr. McHoof
I'm afraid I'm going to have to give you an F, Piggley.
Piggley
What?!
Mr. McHoof
You see, you didn't do the assignment.
Piggley
Eh, but... but... I have talent!
Mr. McHoof
Yes, you have been given a gift, but it's up to you to do something with it, and that, young man, takes work. Work that you did not do.
Piggley
But... But...
Mr. McHoof
You may take your seat now.
