    Maturin was a peculiar boy, known in his school for his insatiable appetite and his knack for mischief. He loved food more than anything else in the world, so much that he often stole food from his friends.

    His friends, Hayden, Fabian, and Sebastian, were tired of his constant thievery. They loved Maturin, but his greed was straining their friendship.
