Angela Anaconda

Mrs. Brinks' class has been chosen to do a newscast for the community-access channel. Everyone gets assigned plum positions. Gina gets to be the food critic, Gordy the weatherman. Even Johnny is excited because he's on the crime beat and is sure to get an "A" thanks to his Uncle Nicky's knowledge of crime. But Angela's hopes of becoming the news anchor are quickly dashed when Mrs. Brinks unsurprisingly chooses Nanette for the job. Angela is assigned-the farm report! Not one to let her bad luck bring her down, Angela decides to do the best farm report ever. Nothing exciting seems to happen though on Farmer Jangles' farm. The apples are rotten and the rooster is cranky, neither of which seems newsworthy. When Farmer Jangles mentions that his goat has just given birth to six kids, Angela instinctively knows that the goat will be the focus of her report. There's just one problem, Nanette gets wind of the goat story and scoops poor Angela. Now Angela has no story, no assignment, and no choice but to get even with Nanette!
