		---------

There was once a kid named Bobby, who had a really shaggy dog
named Ruff. Now, Ruff was REALLY shaggy. In fact, Jimmy thought
that Ruff must be the shaggiest dog in the world. So, when an
international shaggy dog contest was announced, Jimmy hastened
to enter Ruff. 

Jimmy took Ruff to the local contest center, where three judges
were judging dogs. Seeing Ruff, the first exclaimed, "Now THAT
is a really shaggy dog." The second added, "That is the
shaggiest dog I've ever seen!" The third said, "That is
certainly the shaggiest dog here." So Ruff won the title of the
shaggiest dog in Localville, California.

Jimmy then took Ruff to the county contest center, where three judges
were judging dogs. Seeing Ruff, the first exclaimed, "Now THAT
is a really shaggy dog." The second added, "That is the
shaggiest dog I've ever seen!" The third said, "That is
certainly the shaggiest dog here." So Ruff won the title of the
shaggiest dog in Generic County, California.

Jimmy then took Ruff to the regional contest center, where three judges
were judging dogs. Seeing Ruff, the first exclaimed, "Now THAT
is a really shaggy dog." The second added, "That is the
shaggiest dog I've ever seen!" The third said, "That is
certainly the shaggiest dog here." So Ruff won the title of the
shaggiest dog in Northern California.

Jimmy then took Ruff to the state contest center, where three judges
were judging dogs. Seeing Ruff, the first exclaimed, "Now THAT
is a really shaggy dog." The second added, "That is the
shaggiest dog I've ever seen!" The third said, "That is
certainly the shaggiest dog here." So Ruff won the title of the
shaggiest dog in California.

Jimmy then took Ruff to the Western America contest center, where 
three judges were judging dogs. Seeing Ruff, the first exclaimed, "Now 
THAT is a really shaggy dog." The second added, "That is the
shaggiest dog I've ever seen!" The third said, "That is
certainly the shaggiest dog here." So Ruff won the title of the
shaggiest dog in Western America.

Jimmy then took Ruff to the national contest center, where 
three judges were judging dogs. Seeing Ruff, the first exclaimed, "Now 
THAT is a really shaggy dog." The second added, "That is the
shaggiest dog I've ever seen!" The third said, "That is
certainly the shaggiest dog here." So Ruff won the title of the
shaggiest dog in America.

Jimmy then took Ruff to the hemispherical contest center, where 
three judges were judging dogs. Seeing Ruff, the first exclaimed, "Now 
THAT is a really shaggy dog." The second added, "That is the
shaggiest dog I've ever seen!" The third said, "That is
certainly the shaggiest dog here." So Ruff won the title of the
shaggiest dog in the Western Hemisphere.

Jimmy then took Ruff to the world contest center, where 
three judges were judging dogs. Seeing Ruff, the first exclaimed, "Now

shaggiest dog I've ever seen!" The third said, "No, that dog 
isn'T shaggy at all." So Ruff lost.
