That’s a Lot of Lunch Money!
By the Summerville Readers
There was a sweet little girl named Sarah who knew karate and had super powers. It would be wise to be her friend.
Fortunately for her, Mary, a tall girl with a pet lion and a pet bear, was Sarah’s best friend. Mary’s job was to keep up the lunch money for her whole school, and she had about $1,000.00 in a box at her house on the beach, waiting until school started on Monday.
While Mary slept on Sunday night, George, a big, invincible monkey, who could turn invisible when he wanted to, crept into Mary’s house. He found the box of money and stole it, box and all.
When Mary awoke, she discovered the theft, and called her friend Sarah. If they couldn’t find the money quickly, the kids at the school would not have lunch today! Mary and Sarah, whose powers included being able to become invisible and extreme sneakiness, snuck into George’s house to get the money. What a surprise when they discovered that the house was not empty! George had turned invisible and was being very still until he decided to attack the girls.
Just as George tried to slap them, Sarah whirled around and used her laser beam eyes to make George visible. The girls were able to capture George and he was sent to Jungle Jail, and the kids had lunch, right on schedule!
