Hi! My name is Oscar. I live with the Meyers. They have two
kids named Abigail and Derek, and their parents names are Dan

I forgot to mention that I’m a secret agent for the Puppy
Protection Program or P.P.P. I need to learn all I can about
Germany, for my next secret mission is going to Germany to
save a little beagle puppy from Evil Cat Man.
