Plot

[edit]

The narrator says that today is a good day for things to go up. As more things are described as getting up, at the very end, the narrator is revealed to be a boy who does not want to get up and wants to sleep in. This ending would later be expanded into I Am Not Going to Get Up Today!.[3]
