HOW CHRIS MADE FRIENDS WITH FATSO
I wrote this when I was a child.
Once upon a time, there was a boy named Chris. This boy loved peanut butter sandwiches. Everyone else hated peanut butter sandwiches. The reason was they hated Chris. Chris wished he could have some friends.
All the boys he knew had strange powers. There was Jumper, who could jump to great heights. Another was Steerer, who could steer you anywhere, you just have to be touching him. Ken Opener was like a can opener. He would just have to look at something (like a door) and it would open. And-oh yes Color, sometimes called Caller. He could whisper names, and the people he whispered would appear. And there was Fatso. He didn't have any powers. He was just mean. Chris wished he could have these for friends, even Fatso, he could make Fatso nice.
One day he got an idea. He blindfolded Jumper and gave him a candy. The candy was shaped like a sandwich. "Taste this," he said. "What?" asked Jumper. "This," said Chris. Jumper took a bite. "Yum, what is this?" he asked. Chris brought out a sandwich with a bite in it. "I guess I like peanut butter," he said. "So I have to be your friend." Chris did the same thing with Steerer, Ken Opener, and Color.
Then he went to Fatso. "Put on this blindfold please," he said. "No!" yelled Fatso. Color happened to be standing nearby. "Call my friends," said Chris. Color did so, and there were Steerer, Ken Opener, and Jumper. Jumper held on to Steerer and jumped. Steerer steered him, and he fell down on Fatso. Fatso was lying there when he was blindfolded. When Fatso came to, they asked him to open wide. He wouldn't. Ken Opener got his mouth opened, and that is...
