mad_lib "<name> went for a walk in the park. <he or she>
found a <noun>. <name> decided to take it home."

 ===>
The template is:
<name> went for a walk in the park. <he or she>
found a <noun>. <name> decided to take it home.
Supply replacement for <name>: Hansel
Supply replacement for <he or she>: He
Supply replacement for <noun>: toad

The story is:
Hansel went for a walk in the park. He
found a toad. Hansel decided to take it home.
