make up a story about it on the spot.”
That braggart. “You’re on. How about this pencil?”
“OK. Once upon a time this pencil was teased by all of the other
pencils because it was so dull, but it eventually got the point.”
“What kind of story is that? It’s just a punny joke.”
“The bet never said the story had to be good.”
Five dollars down and lesson learned. Now, reader, you owe me $5 for this not-so-good story.
