Word Hero Chapter One
"With power comes responsibility" is an old cliche, but when I wrote the book I didn't realize that its most famous use was by Spiderman's dying uncle. Can you turn the cliche into a mirror image? How else could you mess with it? Make it into a Feghoot, maybe? I mess with the cliche again, later in this chapter. Can you find it?
