Jake ran home from school. His baseball cap in his hands. Suddenly, to his mom surprise he bust through the door a half hour before he was supposed to looking sweater than usual. "Play a good game of ball today Sweetie?". "M--Mom! Look!" He gasped. Holding up a newspaper. "There bulldozing the playground to make room for restaurant!". "Well Hon, don't you think we need more food than play time?" His mother washed her hands in the sink. "But mom! Think of all the kids that love that place!". "Well sweetie... Thing come and things go, you just need to learn to let go. Now go get your bike outta the drive way so Daddy can get in." His mom cooed. Jake muttered as he walked through the door way. "It's not fair..."

       The next day at school Jake's best friend Matt came up to him. "Dude! Did you hear about the playground?" Now Matt was a tall fellow even for fourth grade. "I can't believe Dorres's dad is bull dozing-". Dorres walked up to them. "Hello Jake! Did you hear what my dad is doing to that playground for babies? I'm in fifth grade and I don't need it!" She scolded. "W-Well you know what?!" Said Jake too hot tempered to answer straight. "Were gonna sell a Million bucks! To pay for the playground!". "Darling it's costing my family four million." Dorres smirked. "Get me that much by... March and I'll ask my dad NOT to bulldoze it.". Jake froze. It was January! "Deal!" Jake said and they shook hands. "Bye pip-squeak hope to have that money!" And with that Dorres skipped off to class.
