==Plot==
==Plot==
The episode starts out in a fantasy sequence with [[Prunella Deegan|Prunella]]. She takes 100 steps, trying to find some sort of special book. Straight ahead of her, she spots a bookshelf and heads towards it. She sees three books, all written by famous authors. She reads the titles of the books aloud and she notices they all have something in common; they are all about birds. The books fly off of the bookshelf making bird noises, and they corner her. She casts a spell so she can make a door and escape. She runs into the doorway, it opens, and the books are all on the other side of the door so she is away from harm. She then falls down a trap door into an abyss. She finds a rock to hold onto, but her wand falls. She then remembers of having a magic carpet and unfolds it. She hops on it and is saved. She finds the book she was looking for, only to discover that all of the pages are blank. Then the five wizards in the portrait laugh at her.

Everyone is walking into the [[Lakewood Elementary School|school]] with Prunella looking at it thinking she will get the book in five hours. She casts an imaginary magic spell "Piggity, Piggity, Poggity, P, Lakewood School, I transform ye!" It switches to a flashback event and Arthur breaks it up by walking in front of Prunella and asking her what page she was on. Prunella brags of getting a monogrammed copy of it from England. But of course, [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]] has three copies of it.

It then goes back to Prunella's house and her sister, [[Rubella Deegan|Rubella]], tells her that she has a package. She opens it and looks through the pages, only to find out that it's a Braille edition. She contacts the book company, but they say the book she ordered in print will arrive in three weeks. She rides her bike, about to buy the book, and she sees Muffy and [[Francine Frensky|Francine]] coming out of the bookstore. She asks Muffy if she can borrow her copy of it, but she refuses and walks off with Francine, laughing at Prunella.

Prunella observes everyone reading their copies of the book, and becomes more eager to read it. She goes to the [[Elwood City Public Library|library]], but they don't have a copy of it, either. She goes on the Internet to try to find one, but fails.

When all else fails, Prunella borrows a big, red book from the library titled "How to Read Braille". She falls asleep while reading it and is awakened by [[Sue Ellen Armstrong|Sue Ellen]], who offers help.
