Nick's Creative Word Adventure

Nick and Janet miss the bus and walk home, where Janet finds a pen. Nick reflects on a lesson from Miss Granger about the meaning of words, recalling a childhood memory of using 'quagga' for music. This inspires Nick to create a plan to rename 'pen' as 'friendo'. He and his friends execute the plan by using 'friendo' in place of 'pen', spreading the new word among their peers.
