Week 14 Story, Telephone

 The Foolish Timid Rabbit Ellen C. Babbitt

One day walking down the hallway of John Adams Middle School. Stacy heard a kid say "I'm having a party tonight." But what Herbert Walker actually said was "I'm gonna have the farts tonight." See that day the cafeteria special at John Adams was enchiladas and refried beans. All of Herbert's friends bet him one dollar that he could not finish 5 plates of beans. Boy did he prove them wrong. But in the act of protecting his honor he had upset his stomach. 

When Stacy heard that Herbert was having a party she went straight to Shayna to find out why she hadn't been invited. Shayna and Herbert had been "talking" for almost two months now. Which in middle school terms mean they said hi to each other in the hallway and texted "good morning" and "goodnight". Shayna was upset when she found out about the party because she had not been invited either. She really thought they would last forever. 

So Shayna marched up to Matt, Herbert's best friend and asked about the party. Matt was shocked he hadn't been invited either. This went on all day. One student would tell another about the party only to find out neither had been invited. When Herbert got to science lab Matt wouldn't talk to him at all while they were dissecting an earthworm. When Herbert passed Shayna in the hallway and said the obligatory "Hi" Shayna just kept walking and pretended she didn't see him. 

Before Herbert knew it, no one in the school would talk to him. Herbert The only thing Herbert could think of that might be happening is that his farts smelt too bad and were upsetting people. Finally at the end of the day before an assembly. Herbert asked the nicest boy in their grade, Robert, why no one was speaking to him. Robert then explained to Herbert that everyone was upset because they were not invited to him.

Robert walked straight to the gym floor and grabbed a microphone.

"I'm not having a party tonight I'm just really gassy". He announced. 

Everyone looked really confused but they all started talking to him again.

This story is based on "The Foolish Timid Rabbit." Where the rabbit mistakes a coconut for the world breaking up and gets everyone worked up until a lion sets them straight. This story a girl mistakes words and gets worked up until Herbert sets them straight.
