Okay, we have time for one last story.

Oh!

Me!

Let me go!

I have a great one.

Alice, let's hear it.

Okay.

This is a great story.

See, I was playing a hockey game and this envelope full of money just disappeared after I ate pizza.

Huh?

And the shelter was about to close!

I really didn't want a kitten.

I wanted him even though he was mean.

(meowing) I don't get a word of this, but I love it.

I mean, the kitten wasn't mean, Nelson was mean.

ALL: Oh!

And it's all because I got a B-plus in math.

The end.

Um, thank you, Alice.

Oh!

I forgot to say I got the money from my grandmother because I had bad grades.

Um...

But they got better.

And Martha helped me out.

And we won the hockey game, too.

And... Alice?

I think maybe the class is having a hard time comprehending your story.

Not only that, but I don't understand it.

That's what "comprehend" means.

When you comprehend something, that means you understand it.

Look, don't worry about it.

Just think it over and tell it again tomorrow.

We'd all love to hear it.

Maybe Helen can work with you to help you edit the story a little.
