3 Minute Drill

The boy was enthralled with the present that his mother had wrapped for him, which was sitting under the tree, waiting for him. I wonder what it is, he thought. This present was so big, it took up most of the space under the tree. "I know", he said to himself, "it's that large remote controlled car that I wanted." He imagined himself outside, guiding the car down the sidewalk, showing off to all his friends. He knew that they would all be jealous of him, since everybody wanted that new remote controlled car. It was one of those things that everybody had to have. "Yes," he said out loud,"I'm sure that is the size of the box that it comes in,"What else could it be if it wasn't that?" 

He had always dreamed of being the first 10 year old boy that has the Megatron 400! It was so special that even a couple of girls wanted it! And not very often do girls of Greenwood want something that was meant for boys to play with. "hmmm." i am goping to open itright this instant. The boy ripped and shredded the colorfi\ul wrapping paper and he discovers it was not what he had asked Santa for. What he opened was a Wilson basketball which he had no use for when his parents enrolled him in basketball without his apporval. He was more of a soccer kind of guy. He has no clue what to say to his parents, especially after the look on there faces. They asked him what he thought of it and all he had said was that is was nice. He was not pleased at all, he has no intention of playing basketball, and he didn't get the present he wanted for Christmas. "what else could go wrong?" he says to himself.

He maybe should have knocked on wood, because 4 of his friends got the Megatron 400 for Christmas and were shwoing it off to all the girls. The people who got the remote control truck were rubbing in his face and teasing him because he didn't have one. He told them all to shut up. That wasn't the best thing to say, the teacher heard and sent him right to the principle's office. "This has been the worst Christmas ever!" he screamed into his parents face.
