Story
     There once was a boy named Vince. He had a sense of hauteur and was a very disingenuous personality.His teacher assigned an adumbrate assignment that was worth so much extra credit, that it will bump one up by an entire letter grade and Vince ever the opportunist knew that he was capable of reporting something that was both didactic and interesting to research. Vince then quickly went home to begin research on the project. So he typed the history of the NFL and it led him to a website that had the history of the NFL. Then instead of doing further research he decided to copy and paste it so he may print it out because he could not inhibit the fact that he found something so amusing in a matter of minutes. But, what he did not know was that the site was accessible by anyone that someone changed certain aspects of the history was jeremiad and had many statements that were written by a curmudgeon. Because Vince held himself to an apotheosis he beguiled himself into believing that he had done an excellent job. He did not know that he would be faced with a dilemma due to him being contumacious. The next morning when Vince was getting prepared to go to school he was forced to wear a fustian shirt due to his lack of dirty laundry and Vince was unconscionable of the event that will transpire later that day. Once Vince arrived he went to class and sat on a bauble, thinking about all the bad luck he has had that day. When he presented his plagiarized report Vince quickly found that what he had copied and pasted was of terrible quality. His faux pas then led to his teacher to fulminate at his lack of effort and his plagiarism. Vince woke up from bed and realized that he had dreamt the entire debacle and decided to exculpate himself from the previous day and decide to become ascetic. To complement his new way of thinking he spent all morning forgoing his daily routine just to complete his extra credit project hoping that he will burgeon one day into a better person.
