Greetings, Mr. B!


Everyone at PS 88 knows that Mr. Bundy is the best principal in town. They also know that he's the sharpest dresser. That's why his students don't want to miss a day of school. They like to see what he's wearing.

One day, he'll have on a three-piece suit, with a crisply ironed handkerchief peeking out of his pocket.

The next day, it will be a snazzy plaid jacket, with matching tie and socks.

"Looking good, Mr. B!" his students always say.

"Greetings, Mr. B," said Ivy. "How would you like to buy an amazing, one-of-a-kind suit? That means no one but you will own it!"

"Thanks, but I don't think so," said Mr. Bundy. "I have so many suits already. I really don't need another."

"Ah, but this is no ordinary suit," said Moe. "It has special powers. Very special powers."
