“Tommy’s lungs gratefully greeted the fresh air as he and Bobby (his best friend) piled out of the airport. Tommy and Bobby the Acorns had arrived in San Francisco!!!”
Tommy’s lungs gratefully greeted the fresh air as he and Bobby (his best friend) piled out of the airport. Tommy and Bobby the Acorns had arrived in San Francisco!!!
Tommy’s mind drifted back to a few days ago, when the leaves had delivered the mail. Sitting patiently on top of the pile was a colorful flier. It was the flier for the all-new nuts and seeds skatepark.
“Earth to Tommy!” Bobby’s voice rang in his ears.
Tommy’s mind suddenly snapped back to reality. Somehow, while Tommy was having his little “flashback,” he was able to get a taxi for him and Bobby. Before they knew it, they arrived at the skatepark! It also had a hotel you could stay in. And it was pretty cheap too! He and Bobby had pooled their allowance and managed to fill the price of 50 wood chips.
When the taxi driver opened the door, the hot air hit his shell.
“Gulp,” Tommy gulped. Climbing up the steps was a slow and tedious process. When they got to the top, they saw a sign that said, “Congratulations! You’ve reached the top and proved you’re worthy of staying at Nuts Sk8er Park!”
“Wow,” said Bobby, as they walked into the hotel. “Nooo! My life is ruined!! More stairs!!!”
“They’ve got a busted elevator? Come on!” said Tommy.

20 minutes later…
*pant pant* “Bobby?” *pant pant* “I forgot my skateboard.”
*pant pant* “That’s okay.” *pant pant* “I don’t have one either.”
5 minutes later, they got their skateboards.
“Now, Bobby,” said Tommy playfully, “I know you’re not as advanced as me, so we can start with a simple trick.”
“Ha ha ha. Very funny.”
They waited in a line as long as a ball of yarn. Finally, it was their turn! As they were speeding down the hill, Tommy imagined what it would feel like if he had any hair to rush in the wind. Suddenly, the skateboard slowed, lowered and started to make a scraping noise. The wheels had popped off! Bobby seemed to be in the same sticky situation.
“Ummm, Bobby?”
“ — let’s go back to the hotel.” Bobby finished his sentence.
***
When they got back to the hotel, Tommy heard the manager arguing with one of the staff members in the skateboard return center.
“Do you want everyone else to find out this place is a scam!?”
When they heard that sentence, they marched right in and demanded their woodchips back. Luckily, they got an early flight back to the city and told their families all about their adventures.
