Rodney was a sad young man because he was fat and ugly and no one liked him. Children ran up to him in the street and pointed and shouted, ``Rodney is a sad young man because he's fat and ugly,'' and then they ran away laughing. Rodney shouted, ``I will chase you and hit you and make you cry,'' but as Rodney was so fat he could not run fast enough, and the frustration of complete impotence made him even sadder.
