See Ted.
See Ted run.
Ted runs fast.
Ted talks fast.
Ted wants to run the playground.
Ted has friends.
Marco, Ben, and John.
They think they own the ball.
They think they own the playground.
See Donald.
See Donald run.
Ted and his friends do not like Donald.
Because Donald owns his own airplane.
Ted, Marco, Ben and John do not own their own planes.
They have to use other planes.
They think Donald is bad, because he owns his own plane.
They have a party.
They think their father will only let certain people come to the party.
They don’t want Donald to come because they want to be the only ones to eat cake.
After they eat the cake they want it to still be there.
They say if Donald comes they will take their cake to another party.
All the children collect marbles.
Ted has marbles.
Marco has marbles.
Ben has marbles.
John has marbles.
Donald has more marbles than all of them put together.
Can you add all the marbles?
They have 369 marbles they won on Tuesday.
Donald won 319.
Donald had marbles he had won in other games.
Ted and his friends do not like that.
They say Donald doesn’t play fair.
Donald holds his sack of marbles.
Because they are his marbles.
He takes his marbles on his big airplane.
And people give him more marbles.
When Donald speaks Marco loses his marbles.
Marco gets angry about Donald’s hands.
Ted and his other friends do not agree with Marco.
They know he has lost his marbles.
They know they cannot win the marble game.
So they want to stop Donald from playing.
Because of his big bag of marbles.
All the other children in the playground like Donald.
Donald likes them.
There are children who try to climb the fence.
To steal everyone’s lunch.
Donald wants them to stay on their side of the fence.
Ted, Marco, Ben, and John want all the children to share their lunch.
Donald knows that the lunches belong to the children inside the playground.
He says the fence needs to be higher.
And more teachers in the playground to keep the bad children out.
All the children like this.
Their grandfathers paid for their lunch.
And they do not want to lose the lunch.
They know there will be a marble count one day.
And the boy with the most marbles will win the game.
That boy will be the boss of the playground.
And he will get the fence higher.
And he will get jobs for all the children.
And everyone will have a lunch.
When the marble count happens you will see Ted run.
And run, and run, and run.
Ted is very good at running.
Ted is not good at fences or lunches.
He can win marbles in his own yard.
He can win marbles at his friend’s yard.
His friend is named “Okie.”
Can you say, “Okie?”
Okie gave some of his marbles to Ted.
Ted ran all the way back to his house.
Ted said, “Look, mommy. Okie gave me some of his marbles.”
Ted’s mommy gave him some marbles, too.
Ted was so happy.
His mommy loves Ted.
So she didn’t tell him that Donald still has many marbles in his big shiny airplane.
Because that will make Ted Cry.
And, she knows that Marco will cry.
And John will cry.
Ben will not cry because his mommy bought him a new toy.
His toy is called, “Book Deal.”
After the game is over all the children will play in the playground.
And eat their lunch.
And Ted, John, Marco and Ben will be there.
Looking at Donald’s big airplane.
And the shiny new fence.
The End.
