One sunny afternoon, Mrs. Silver was drawing her 189,567th silver line outside her house (a 1 acre field) when she heard sniffing. She turned around and saw a little girl crying. Mrs. Silver could not bear to see the poor thing so miserable. She opened her arms wide. Right as she was about to wrap her arms around the girl, she heard somebody scream "OUCH!!" from behind her.

Mrs. Silver felt so bad, yet did not know what to do. Then she glanced to her left. Her silver lines! She was going to find her silver lining. "Eh? Never really liked his mustache! Too bushy!" she finally came up with. Pleased with her silver lining, she walked over to her couch and plopped down. Ignoring the fact that it snapped in half under her weight, she took her tiny sketchbook (a series of giant whiteboards) and her silver colored pencil (a pole with 708 silver colored pencils connected onto the end) and began to draw MORE silver lines.
