Price

Price was a student in Mr. Benson’s class. She had green and curly hair. She was Mexican. She spoke little English and wore a red cape.

           
One day, the class was going to the zoo.

“Too bad Maurie and Joel aren’t here,” said Kalea.

The zoo was a million miles away. They were going in Airforce 2. All the sudden the jet jerked and they came hurtling to the ground.

“2+2=3 right?” said asked Oscar.

           
When they hit the ground, the class rushed for the metro, which was a block away.

The driver was running after them shouting, “Come back here, stupid teacher! You have to pay $2,000 for the damage you did!”

When they got in the metro station, the driver gave up and walked away.

Mr. Benson said, “Guess we will have to take the metro!”

           
When they got to the zoo, it was lunchtime. Then all the sudden, a bull was set free and came charging at the class. With one graceful move Price waved her cape and Maurie and Joel appeared. Then they started stabbing the bull with their spears. Joel and Maurie faded. Then Price came in with her cape. She started to shake it. The bull came charging at it. Price moved out of the way and shouted, “Ole!” Soon the whole class was shouting, “Ole!” Then she too faded.

Once again, Price came into the room, but this time with a sword. Price moved toward the bull. Everyone gasped. She had stabbed the bull. It became weaker and then died. Price faded and did not come back. In her place was the lunch lady Miss Lisa.

“We’re all hungry,” groaned the children.

“Good thing I’m here,” said Miss Lisa. She cooked bull and fried grasshopper tacos on the grill in the food court. Everyone barfed even though they hadn’t eaten anything.
