chapter one
wants apans a time there was a young boy named john. he lived with his three brothers, his mother and father in a house on a winding road. one morning john woke up and was very confused. he looked at his fingers and they were no longer fingers. they were keys from a computer keyboard. his thumbs were a space bar. his right pinkie was a key with the letter p. his left pinkie was a key with the letter q. this was very strange and made no sense to john. he walked to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. his eyes were no longer eyes. they were computer screens. john ran to his parents room. they were not surprised. his dad said, "i told you john if you keep using your computer so much you will turn into one, and you are" the end of chapter one
chapter two
john's mom looked at john's dad aghast. "that is no way to speak to your son!" she exclaimed. "no way at all!!! he is turning into a computer. i think a litte sympathy is called for here, don't you?!?"
chapter three
john started crying. except tears didn't fall out of his eyes. commas started scrolling down his com;uter screens. that was how he cried now. his mom took his keyboard hands and walked with him outside. it was a sunny day. she said "john, it is time you started using your computer far less than you do. let's take a walk in the garden, feel the sunshine, walk down the winding road. let's do this every day and soon your eyes will turn back into eyes and your fingers will turn back into fingers
chapter four
they walked and walked and talked. they talked about all kinds of things. john's mom told him about what it was like when she was growing up. and john told his mom all about school and playing with his friends and brothers. then they heard some whistling. they look back and it was john's dad. he ran up to them with a picnic basket and said "i made us some sandwiches. let's go eat them. sorry i was mean earlier"
chapter five
they had a really nice picnic. they walked and talked every day for the next few weeks and soon john's eyes and fingers were eyes and fingers again
