They were both on the junior high baseball team. Both wanted to be major league baseball players when they grew up. On Thursday, baseball practice lasted for two hours after school. After practice, Travis and Paul were hungry and thirsty. Between them, they had $2.05. There was a small grocery store three blocks from the school. What can we buy for only $2? asked Travis. We could split a soda and a candy bar, replied Paul. Thats going to be hard to do, since I like orange soda and you like root beer, said Travis. And I hate peanuts in candy bars and you love them, said Paul. As they approached the store, they were still thinking about their problem. One solution, of course, was for one of them to pick the soda and the other to pick the candy bar. The problem with that solution would be that one of them would still be thirsty and the other would still be hungry. Wait a minute, said Paul. Ive got an idea. They stopped, and Paul told Travis his idea. Mr. Cobb was the store owner. He had no use for kids. They were little people with little money. His eyes narrowed as he saw the boys approaching the store. |
