A group of children cosult a book in order to find the New Year. The book decrees that they must locate three characters, one of which must be loud and small, the second sad and dull, and the third making no sense. The children ultimately find the child, a teenager with attitude who pops bubble gum; Farmer John, whose chickens have flown the coop; and the terribly shy teacher, who can only spout facts and figures and uses Sprechstimme.
