​I was just a simple farmer on my ranch when I saw a magical box thingy.

I looked inside the box and calmly but quickly went next door to see my friend. "Will," I said, "I just found a magical box thingy that will blow up the world if we don't learn to do the magical dance to disarm it. We only have 17 minutes to learn it." Will was freaking out. I showed him the instructions for the dance that I found in the box. "This is way too complicated!" he screamed. "Naw, it'll be easy. We can do it," I said.
