Plot
Jake is sick and the only way for him to get better is for Finn to tell him a story. Jake however, doesn't want a made-up story. So, Finn goes outside to find a new story and spots the snail floating on a falling leaf. When he returns to tell Jake the story, Jake is sadly disappointed by it. He gives Finn a list of things that his story must include, namely, romance, fighting, suspense, and a happy ending.

In order to create a real story, Finn wanders through the forest looking for "romance" and bothering a lot of critters. He makes Boobafina and Mr. Fox kiss, which upsets both of them. He starts a fight with a Teenage Bear, but its Momma Bear tries to intervene, then starts crying when Finn punches her son in the face, making her think he is dead. For suspense, Finn menaces a nest of Baby Birds with a rock, but has an attack of conscience, torn between wanting to help Jake and not wanting to mess with folks. Then the animals of the forest attack Finn pinning him down, and Finn says "this is really suspenseful" just before the Forest Wizard clubs him in the head. Finn wakes up to find out that the wizard has locked him in a cage for his "crimes" against the forest creatures. Just before he's lowered into a magical pit to become one with the soil, Finn finishes Jake's story with a happy ending by offering heartfelt advice to the forest creatures, making everything better. For making their lives better, the Forest Wizard releases Finn. He returns to the Tree Fort and Jake miraculously recovers after hearing Finn's story. As Jake dances the Health Dance, Finn comes down with Jake's sickness. Jake prepares to tell Finn an awesome story, but Finn immediately falls asleep.
