He was really good at making them any way you want, he could make them scrambled, sunny-side-up, and even fried. Chris P. Bacon didn’t have very many friends but he did have a rival. His name was Brock Lee. Brock Lee was the toughest kid in Humpty and nobody liked him. They say the reason he was so tough was because he ate so many vegetables. Chris P. Bacon wasn’t tough or strong like Brock Lee because Chris P. Bacon ate only two things, eggs and bacon.

O.J. explained to Chris P. Bacon that Brock Lee had his own lab and was making vegetables 20 times bigger than their normal size. They were so big they developed brains so they could walk and talk. Soon Brock Lee would have his own over sized vegetable army. Brighton Early and needed Chris P.
