It is educational because it is a parody of the story we are reading about. It has many of the same details it has in the story.

They both stole the boots and his them. SpongeBob represents the Old man because Mr. Krabs likes Spongebob but he doesn’t like the boots just how the narrator liked the old man but he didn’t like his vulture eye. He trusted Mr. Krabs because he is his boss. They both have things that annoy someone. The boots represent the vulture eye and the heartbeat because The boots were squeaking and he didn’t like the noise it was making and the narrator didn’t like the vulture eye. Once he stole and hid the boots they became the heartbreak, but before it is the squeaking which is like the vulture eye.
