The boy strummed his guitar. The little girl stooped to pick a flower. The old woman knitted her knitting. The athletic young man jogged on the spot. The cat purred quietly. I look

the crease in the middle of the book. Hopping from one sentence to another, I made it to the next page. "Look, Jane, Look. Kitty wants to play." I was blindsided by a ball of yarn.

But then Dick showed up. Dick didn't like me. Dick was a dick, but somehow Jane couldn't see the truth. "Play with Kitty, Dick! Play, Dick, play!" My ears went back & I spat

"Hey there, Thistlenuts!" Dick called. Mr. Thistlenuts nodded briefly & resumed raking his yard. "Wonder what got into his shorts?" Dick thought. "Yoo-hoo!" Marta Appletits waved
