Synonyms

"The synonym of tomorrow is...Wednesday."

- Inggo's jest

'Synonyms' is an episode of Karen's World, aired in 2002.

Synopsis
Inggo no longer wants to go to school; at the same time, Inggo's cousin from the States comes to visit. In the meantime, he thinks of rethinking, writing notes along the way.

Act I
One day, Inggo looks very tired, and very pessimistic. This gets Karen's attention, which Inggo confesses is his lack of interest in school. He thinks as if school is not that important and plans on giving up, which Karen argues. A man walking gets their attention.

It turns out to be Anthony, Inggo's cousin from the States. He uses the word 'beat', making Inggo worry about him. Karen introduces him to synonyms, or words with similar meanings. The same happens for 'dinner' and 'supper', which Inggo misinterprets as 'suffer'. Anthony, however, is slightly oblivious to this and assumes that he still has a sense of humor. Speaking of humor, Inggo jokingly calls tomorrow a synonym of 'Wednesday'.

Act II
On Wednesday, Anthony explained his life at the States. According to him, he worked in a huge (or big) farm, and used organic fertilizer instead of artificials. Karen and Inggo commended the switch, since it is both nature-friendly and cheap. She notices that Inggo jotted down all the synonyms he could find, which annoys her.

The next day, 5am, Inggo wakes up to go to school. Karen sees this as a opportunity to give synonyms, which was, coincidentally, the lesson Inggo learnt at school. While handing him synonyms, she humbly asks for breakfast service everyday, which turned out to be Inggo's surprise.

Act III
Later that day, they see Anthony again, wondering why he is still here. He has decided to stay for good, so that he can teach the other farmers what he has learnt overseas. He also compliments Inggo's synonym skills. When thunder strikes again, he uses 'trousers' instead of 'pants', when he referred to his clothes still outside.
