The Reading Process
How to Find It Letters wont help, but numbers
will. Decide If you have to use the numbers on
the top or the numbers on the bottom. Get as
close as you can to the number you want. You
will probably then have to go right or left.
Sometimes youll be at the exact place but you
wont find it because youre too far away.

Finnyquigs
There are 10,000 kinds of quigs in the world.
However, only finnyquigs make finny. There are
three types of finnyquigs stips, follers and
terps. The stips job is to smat the kots. The
follers are smaller than the stip, and their jobs
are to take the finny and to take care of the
kots. The terps job is to flim with the stip. A
stip must flim in order to smat foller kots. If
the stip doesnt flim, the stip can only smat
terp kots.
