The town of Moralton, Statesota was, despite its name, not exactly moral. The town of Moralton, Statesota, was a very Christian town. Protestant, specifically. But that was what mattered in God's eyes, right? That's what everyone in Orel's life told him.

Orel didn't have a lot of friends. It wasn't that people didn't want to be friends with him — most kids would dream of having a friend as naïve as Orel — it was just that Moralton was not a very large town. However, out of his few friends, he probably talked to you the most. Unless you counted God as his friend!

School was out and Orel's dad was still at work (or maybe the bar), so he really just sat in his room with you working on stop motion! Yeah!

"You know, I've really been thinking about Reverend Putty's sermon." He knew he wasn't supposed to think about a sermon, he's been told that more times then he can count, but he really couldn't help it. "Gosh, I might ask him about it this Sunday."
