A book lies on a coffee table next to him.<BR><BR> "I still haven't written my book report on 'Gulliver's Traveks'...I haven't even started to READ it yet!" He holds the book up to his face.<BR><BR> "Why don't I get started? Why do I put things off?" He walks.<BR><BR> "What's wrong with me?" Charlie Brown asks as he settles in an armchair in front of the TV.<BR><BR>
