A day at the pond
There once was a boy named chuck. He was a small boy, but a very strong and mighty one. He had two brothers named Carl and Cat. He and Carl were actual brothers. They adopted Cat because he was lonely and had nowhere else to go. Plus he was just a little weird.
One day Chuck, Carl, and Cat decided to go swimming at the pond down the road. "I don't know if that's a good idea" Cat said. "You're just scared because the others will make fun of your name." Carl replied back "So what! My mom and dad were weird" Cat told them. They already knew the story because Cat told them over and over again. "Okay guys cut it out and lets go" Chuck told them. "Quit fighting. Cat you're going to be fine. Ignore the others and you'll be fine".
They started walking to the pond and the big bad boy of the town came waddling past them and stopped them. This boy’s name is Edward. Edward is a mean and horrible boy. "Oh look what we have! Carl, Chuck, and Cat. Who would name their child Cat?" Edward taunted. "Cut it out Edward!" Carl snarled. "Oh is this little Carl sticking up for his brother named Cat" Edward teased. "Yes and I'm going to step in also." Chuck said. "Knock it off Edward and leave them alone.” Edward backed off as soon as Chuck said that. Most of the children were afraid of Chuck because of what happened between him and a stranger when Chuck was little. “Now if you don’t mind my brothers and I are going to go the pond and swim” Chuck told Edward. They walked off to the pond. Cat looked back at the scared Edward and stuck his tongue out him.
They get to the pond and Carl and Cat jump in right away. Chuck waits a few minutes and then jumps in. “Oh wow!” Cat shouted, “This water feels great!” “I know! This water is great!” Carl screamed back. Chuck didn’t say anything, but enjoyed it. The pond was real busy today. Every kid from around the pond was there.
Tommy, Chuck, Carl and Cat’s friend, whose life is just as messed up as Cat’s, came swimming up to Chuck, Carl, and Cat. “Hi guys!” he said happily. “Hi Tommy” the boys say together. Tommy was one of their best friends. They had each other’s back no matter what happened between the four of them.
During the swim at the pond, Cat, Carl, and Tommy splashed around and chased everything that they could see. Chuck wanted to play to. He got in and helped the others chase the things that they were chasing.
The boys got out of the pond to dry off. Edward got out too, but decided he should leave Chuck and his brothers alone. It was lunch time. The kids went home and said they’d come back after they had eaten something.
They start walking home and go their own way. They tell each other they’ll be back in a little while. They go their own way. Some go the same way. Others go a different way.
They get home and their mom is in the kitchen. She was cooking and doing the dishes. She sees her boys come in and stops everything to kiss them on the head. They kiss her back and go into the living room.
They get the game system out and start playing super Mario brothers. Cat is winning. Chuck is losing and Carl is in the middle. Their mother calls them to lunch. Chuck pauses the game and they run to the kitchen. It’s grilled cheese sandwiches and French fries. They eat their lunch fast and leave the table to go play super Mario brothers. Chuck wins the game! He beat Cat and Carl by a million points! They tell their mom they’re going back to the pond for a while. “Okay guys. Just be careful and don’t let Edward get to you. I saw the squabble between you guys and him earlier this morning”. She says. They say okay and waddle out to the pond.
They get to the pond and no one is there. “What do we do now?” asks Cat “We can go back home and play super Mario brothers” Carl suggests. “No no no. Let’s go play some baseball” Chuck says. Cat and Carl exclaim with excitement. “Yeah!” they both shout. They walk back home and get their bats, mitts, bases, and a ball. They go to Tommy’s and ask for him to come with. He says yes and grabs his bat and his mitt. They go to their other friends’ houses and ask them to play too. They get ten friends to play baseball with. Edward even said yes.
They get to the field. Edward and Chuck are the captains. Chuck picks Cat, Carl, and Tommy. Edward picks three of his friends. The game begins!
Edward’s team is up. Edward is up to bat. Chuck throws the ball and Edward hits it out of the field. Home run!! Edward runs around the bases, but only stops at 3rd base because Tommy got the ball and was throwing it to third base. Edward’s safe at 3rd base. The game goes the whole nine innings. Chuck’s team won. They play another game, but only get in three innings before the parents of the kids are yelling for them for supper. Both teams shake hands and tell them to play tomorrow. They agree to it.
The boys start walking home with their bats and mitts. Cat forgot the bases. He runs back and gets the bases. He walks with Carl and Chuck. They get home and put their stuff away in the shed. They go inside and their mom has supper on the table. Tonight it’s fish and potatoes. They eat their supper. They finish and put their plates in the sink. “Oh boy“ Chuck says “I’m beat” “Me too” Cat and Carl say at the same time. They go to the living room and watch TV.
After watching TV the boys take a shower and get ready for bed. Chuck is the first one in bed. Carl is next. Cat is the last one to bed because he was reading his comics. He gets tired after reading two comics and falls asleep.
It was a rough day at the pond today but they had fun. They even enjoyed Edward’s company. Goodnight boys. Sleep well.
