Like, watch out for poppy fields and flying monkeys. Follow the path to your destination and don't trust men that make a big show because they might be full of just hot air. And, if we stick together, no matter what our difference, we can overcome terrible odds, and sometimes all it takes is a little water. Well, today's episode has nothing...
