The Game
Yo. Hey guys. . . got a minute? Did you go to the game
on Friday? Well, I did, and guess what? Something
really cool happened during half time! I couldn't believe
it. It was awesome. I bet you're dying to know. The
marching band played and there was a drum
solo. Guess who the drum player was? Well, it was
someone cool - just like me. It was my brother. Look
for him next time at the game.
