| I like to dig. One time I dug a hole ten foot long. Then one day I took a sliding board and made it a stairway into the hole. I like to dig right next to a field. I use a little shovel because they don’t weigh that much. When you’re in the hole it feels like it is going to drop on you. When the hole gets deeper it gets more fun because the ground gets damp and sticks together. You can sometimes find something when you dig. I know because I found a big chain and a big bone. |

Once upon a time there were three little boys. They loved football. The boys’ names were Michael Vick, Randy Moss and Cory Dillon. They met at a Barbeque. Mike said to Randy and Cory, “Do you want to play football?” They played football for four hours. Then a year later they were on the same football team. Mike was a quarterback, Randy was a wide receiver and Cory was a halfback. They won 16 games straight in a row. They won by passing and running. They went to the Hawaii Bowl and they won. Then in the final four they got first place. They went around the world and won all their games with no losses. Nobody could beat them not even the juniors could beat them. They went into the off-season and they practiced every day and played in the yard all the time. Then the coach called and said, “You boys need to rest for the season start.” “Ok,” we said, “bye.” Dad said, “What did he say?” “Nothing but rest from football a while.” Mom said, “You had a fine season, boys.” Dad called the coach. “Why do my boys have to rest from football? There is a future to make money.” Would you want to make money off these kids? asked the coach. I will give you some money. I will give you 2,134 dollars every two weeks.
