Shaun arose from his sleep with his regular morning glory, which subsided quickly. After the daily routine of breakfast consumption, teeth cleaning and changing his attire from pajamas to a shirt and jeans with a sparkly backflip. As Shaun left his house to engage in his everyday activities (i.e. 8,100 bells from the day's money rock, the gemstone from another rock and the four fossils to get excavated), he saw Pete waiting politely outside his door.
"Morning, Pete," Shaun said.
"Goooooood morning to you, Shaun! I've got a letter for you. I couldn't ram it in your mailbox; you haven't disposed of the last round of crap I delivered!" Pete replied, laughing. He handed Shaun the letter, and Shaun waved the pelican off in respect.
The letter was an urgent notice from the town hall, stating that there was a problem with the very recently installed fountain. Additionally, the townsfolk had evidently became tired of the current Night Owl ordinance.
"Bollocks," Shaun said to himself as he tossed the letter.
So, after a quick trip to the post office to withdraw a minor amount of 20,000 bells from his bank account, Shaun paced towards the town hall. Halfway there, the ground collapsed beneath his feet as he slipped waist-deep into a pitfall trap.
"ARSE!" he yelled as he struggled to get out. Tutu, a white bear, passed by and saw Shaun in the trap. So she started doing the worry dance until Shaun wriggled out.
