STORY: Benjamin X. Knowitall and Holly B. Hopeful are selected to play the Game Of Your Life which is hosted by Mister Master. While it’s apparent that Ben is more adept at answering facts, the focus of the story is on Holly. While Master, Vanna Banana, Ron Pardo and Ben are busy playing the game, Holly is visited by Abe Lincoln and Florence Nightengale who give her advice and boost her self-confidence. When the final game question arrives, it’s Holly who has learned through playing the game, that the answer to what’s the most important thing to be in life is simply herself.
