Version 1.0

Charlie is a chameleon.
But he can only change color really slowly.
One day Charlie and his friends walk through some mud.
His friends turn brown.
But Charlie stays green!
His friends laugh at him: "Charlie can't turn brown!"
Later that night, Charlie turns brown!
The next day Charlie and his friends walk through some snow.
His friends turn white.
But Charlie stays brown!
His friends laugh at him: "Charlie can't turn white!"
Later that night, Charlie turns white!
The next day Charlie and his friends walk through a field.
His friends turn green.
But Charlie stays white!
His friends laugh at him: "Charlie can't turn green!"
So Charlie tries really, really hard...
...but breaks out into spots!
