|
Don needed to replace his old car. So he figured out his budget and
spent a month looking at new cars and used cars at different
dealerships. At the end of the month, he had narrowed his options down
to five possible cars. He was very surprised when he realized that his
final five choices were all from different manufacturers... |

Last Night’s Baseball Game |
|
Last night’s baseball game was great! Both teams played very well with
first one team, then the other in the lead. While both teams had many
hits during the game, there were five that were particularly
spectacular and which allowed their team to score runs. Oddly, each
star hitter played a different defensive position, and each drove in
runs with a different hit... |

Ventriloquist Act |
|
A popular ventriloquist comedy act was in town last week. The show was
fantastic and ran for four days during the week. The ventriloquist was
very good and he used a variety of unique puppets that truly came
alive while he talked with them. While he used a variety of puppets
during each show, each night featured a routine with one puppet in
particular and each featured puppet involved only one topic... |

Backyard Birds |
|
Sara and her four best friends all enjoyed both their gardens and the
flock of small birds that took up residence with them every year. Each
of them kept bird feeders in their back yard, catering to a flurry of
gold finches, cardinals, chickadees, and many other feathery species.
They often spent lazy summer afternoons relaxing in the shade,
watching the busy activity of the birds flitting to and fro... |

Breakfast to Go |
|
The Breakfast To Go coffee shop was a busy place in the morning. A
steady stream of commuters found their way in, seeking their morning
ritual of a hot drink and breakfast. The servers at the coffee shop
recognized the regulars and often had their order ready before they
ordered it. This instant service always pleased their customers... |

|
The MegaMillions Lottery was a sponsored lottery in which 13 different
states participated and a winning ticket hadn’t been drawn in several
months. Finally on Wednesday night, the MegaMillions jackpot was won –

winner received over 70 million dollars. Each of the winners was
interviewed shortly after discovering they held a winning ticket,
revealing what each first planned to do with the sudden wealth... |

New Schedule |
|
Sally started a new semester at school this week and she’s having a
bit of trouble. Her whole class schedule has changed and she’s still
trying to remember it. The school day has six class periods in it,
referred to as Period 1 through Period 6. That would be simple enough
to remember, but then there are three different buildings that her
classes might be held in – Grant Building, Roosevelt Building, and
Washington Building - and of course, each building has three floors of
classrooms... |
