</div>

The XML:

```auto

<option>
<text><I steal the grue's lunch money and sneak away.</text>
</option>

```

The Actionscript:

```auto

var my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
my_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
    //blah blah...
    }
}

```

The result:

I steal the grue's lunch money and sneak away.
