On opening morning, Roger unrolled a banner over his newest pop-up. "Want to replace the name of a person or thing? Step right up! Today I hook your clauses on for free!"
A customer needed a fresh start walked up first. "Easy," Roger said. "You're the shopper I'll help next." He clipped a clause onto her order and slid across the counter.
Then a platypus waddled up with a vowel it had bought down the street. "Good buy," Roger said. "That is the vowel everybody wanted, and now is yours." The platypus tucked the prize was finally under one flipper.
But the next clause flopped, because it pointed at no noun at all. "I wanna function by myself! Don't wanna need nobody's help!" Roger groaned. Just then Nelson marched over. "A hook needs a noun." Roger sighed and clipped the clause onto Nelson, stood there proudly.
By noon, the line stretched down the block, and were all asking for hooks. Roger grinned. "The deal closes cleanest is the one points right back at a noun." He rang up the customer had waited longest and waved her off.
