In My Tum (Soft c)

The street fair is here. There will be games and a contest. I can eat a lot and very fast. I think I can win the eating contest.

Tim says he wants to win the contest too. We both buy lots of noodles to practice.

I want to win so badly that I start to practice right away. I will do what ever it takes to win.

The games start. In the plank game, we need to balance and work as a team to move together. One side at a time, and we can slide over the line.

But I still want to practice. We are not balanced, and we fall.

Then, in the sack race, the other kids in my team hop quickly over the finish line. But I still want to practice, and I fall.

The next game is the balloon burst game. We put out heads together and try to make it pop. But my head is not in the game.

I don't want to be in the team now. I sneak away and behind a tree, I see Tim. I notice that he hung the noodles from a line and eats with his hands behind his back. I didn't know that was part of the contest.

So I practice that too. Soon I am very fast at eating the noodles off the line. I am sure to win the contest and beat Tim.

We face each other and wait for the start. We both want to win.

But I can't eat any more. There is no space left in my tum.

Tim is the winner! And what is his prize? He won a week's supply of noodles.
