Lickety and Split often met each other in the land of Wonton, and Wonton treated them very well. Wanting to repay Wonton's kindness, Lickety and Split said, "All people have seven holes for seeing, hearing, eating, and breathing. Wonton alone lacks them.  Let's try boring some holes for him." So every day they bored one hole [in him], and on the seventh day Wonton died.
