Letitia admitted to them that she had opened the Green Door. “Back then, life was so difficult.

After seeing those times, I will never complain about anything ever again.
I love cabbage soup and oh daddy! I love the dress you got me," she said.

"And I shall study and study and study and write in neat handwriting with my brand new

pencils and pens.
I am so sorry for having been such a pain! And sorry for disobeying you and opening the

Green Door."

"Hahaha! Well, I guess you asked for it, Letitia. When we don't respect what we have, life
teaches us the hard way."

“I stayed there for two months.”
“No, you stayed only for a

couple of hours. Time moves
much faster in the past, than
in the present, my dear!”

Just then, another car sped

in the driveway. And out
came Mr and Mrs Peabody
with their son, Jack Peabody.

Jack looked at Letitia and
Letitia looked at Jack. And

they both knew that their homes were the best.
