These symbols... it's like they're telling me something...

Hey! How's the sickie? I brought you a special present.

"What is it, grandpa?"

Go ahead! Open it!

"A book?"

That's right! And not just any book, neither. This is the book that my dad read to me when I was sick, and that I read to your dad when he was sick, and now I'm going to read it to you!

"But how? There's no words."

What? You're messing with me aren't you, little guy.

"Nope. It's all little symbols."

Aww, crap! Did I get a Wing Dings copy?

"What are Wing Dings?"

Don't worry about it. We can still enjoy it... probably. We just gotta decipher the words.

"The book's in code?"

Sort of. Okay, first word is a hat, an airplane, a lightning bolt, and another lightning bolt. What do you think that is?

"Grandpa, I don't even understand what you're saying..."

What about this next one that's just some sort of thing that looks like waves, a sun, a yin yang, and like a skull and crossbones or something...

"What's going on here? I'm lost. Is this one of your jokes, grandpa?"

I got like three bowling balls, maybe a muffin, a hang glider. That could be 'the' maybe, right? Then we know bowling ball equals t, etc. Now, what about this next one with a tree...

OKAY, I FAKED IT! I'M NOT SICK! I LIED TO GET OUT OF CLASS! JUST QUIT IT WITH THE MIND GAMES!

"Works every time!"
