Kermit is at the entrance of my "an" location. He has a pot lid on his head and a rose in his hand. Miss Piggy looks out the living room window with a telescope to her eye, trying to figure out what he is up to. When she spots the rose, her eyes grow WIDE, her smile grows WIDE, and she runs to the door to open it WIDE. "Oh Kermie, are you here to propose?" Kermit opens his mouth WIDE in laughter. "No, Miss Piggy, I'm here to raise money for the Frogs without a Pond society. Would you like to buy a rose for $10? " Miss Piggy is furious, hits Kermit over the head with her telescope, and stomps back inside. Kermit is very thankful for the pot lid on his head. It turns out to have a WIDE variety of uses.

Actor : Po from Kungfu Panda
Props : Roof-shaped Hat, Rose, Telescope
Set : Anatomy Lab
Po was admiring a telescope at the entrance of my Anatomy lab. It came attached with a shiny WIDE angle lens. Po then looked into the telescope and noticed a guy wearing a roof shaped hat and baggy clothes, suspiciously suspended at the side of the next building.
He then remembered the announcement the day prior; that in lieu of increasing crime rate in the university, people should keep their eyes WIDE open and be aware of any suspicious behaviors.
Po then shouted "HEY YOU!"
The guy got panicked and fell into the rose bush below.
Turned out he was a broadband installer for the uni.Mandarin Blueprint

At the car park in FRONT of my AUNT'S HOUSE, they have built and old style factory with a CHIMNEY. To make the factory more sustainable, they are rolling out ROLLED SOD on its roof. KERMIT, who, after his career as a presenter ended, has become a geodesist, is observing the operations through a TELESCOPE. I notice he is standing very close the roof, so I ask him how he can see what's going on. "Don't worry, I have a WIDE angle lens on this thing!" I look through the telescope and indeed, it gives me a very WIDE landscape view, to the point that it makes me RELAXED.

Kramer (KU) is outside Richmond flat (AN) he is doing some star gazing, he is wearing a builders hat (TOP) to protect him from falling stars. This is making his hair stick out from under, looking like a Crown of Thorns (MID). He is peering through a giant telescope (BOTTOM) making typical Kramer muttering proclamations and wild gestures. All the passers-by give him a very WIDE (KW) birth

I am so excited to learn a new character finally! I was having withdrawal.
Nick Sims (戴燚）
Krusty the Clown (ku-) is outside Olivia’s (-an) doing due diligence on the cannabis market. Krusty lays down a tin can top (宀) and inspects a weed leaf (艹) with a magnifying glass (见). I believe I can make a lot of money in this business. His smile opens up WIDE, the margins in this business are WIDE.
