Nick created a new word for a pen. He called it a frindle. Nick got all of his friends to use the word frindle. The English teacher, Mrs. Granger, told them not to use the word frindle. She made several kids stay after school because they said the word frindle. Parents were mad, and the principal visited Nick's home.
A reporter heard about the word frindle and put a story in the newspaper. Soon the word frindle spread across the country. Nick was even on TV! Kids everywhere started calling a pen a frindle.
Ten years later, when Nick was in college, Nick's word frindle was entered in the Webster's Dictionary. Mrs. Granger sent him a copy of the dictionary and a letter telling him how proud she was of him.
