Once upon a :me on Greenville street there lived a golden retriever, Joseph, and a red hen named Jane . They lived in a abandoned house. Joseph and Jane wanted to play “Four Square” they wandered around the neighborhood in search of to more people to play “four Square”
Around the corner they went , Jane stopped and was staring at the dumpster . “What are You staring at ?“ exclaimed Joseph. I’am looking at the dog in the dumpster! Will you play “Four Square” with us inquired Jane.
“Can’t see I ‘am busy!” “Sorry for bothering you!”Joseph and Jane cried!
And on they went spoTng a flock of gesse prancing across the street. Joseph and Jane ran to catch up with them. When Joseph and Jane caught up to them ,Jane asked the head goose,will you play “Four Square “ with us?
“No I wont” the head goose said .All the li'le geese chimed in “We surly won’t” “ Fine you don’t have to play. We will find someone else to play with us. On they went sadly , because no one will play with them .
When they finished walking on Greenville St. , they moved to Merrian Lane and saw a pink pig rolling in the mud on the road. “Would you like to play” “Four Square” with us ?” Jane ques:oned the pig. “Not I don’t” snorted the pig.
“ Ok fine , you don’t have to play “ Four Square” with us. Jane and Joseph responded. Joseph and Jane finally gave up and walked home. They were sad because no one would play “Four Square “ with them . Joseph and Jane thought of a game that they could play with two people ,checkers! And they played all day enjoying each others company!
