Wouldn’t it be strange if you threw a stone in the water and it came back? You won’t believe me if I told you that this happened to Curtis and his little sister Amanda.
One Saturday morning, Curtis’s family decided to go camping. Amanda was not so excited about that but Curtis was. As they loaded in the car to get to Harper’s Ferry’s Campground In West Virginia. Curtis decided to play a game with Amanda in the car.
“Amanda wanna play I Spy?” said Curtis.
“Yeah sure, but can I go first?” said Amanda.
“I spy with my uncaring eye, a annoying brother,”said Amanda.
“That was so funny I forgot to laugh,”Curtis said sarcastically.
But by the time it was Curtis’s turn they were already there.
“Curtis and Amanda we are here,” said their mother.
As they unloaded the car ,they headed to a cabin. To get a good night sleep. There were a couple arguments, but when they woke up it was all fine. They brushed their teeth, took a shower and ate breakfast, then they went on a nature walk . That didn’t go so well either.
“MOM! Curtis pushed me!”yelled Amanda.
“NO I DIDN’T!”Curtis yelled back.
“Curtis say sorry to your sister,” said their Mom.
“But I –,” Curtis Stuttered.
As soon as Curtis said sorry he ran off. But being the good sister Amanda is, she ran after him all they way to The Potomac River the nearest river she could think of. But when she caught up with Curtis, she found him skipping rocks, I guess she was right.
“Curtis can I throw 1?” said Amanda.
“Sure lets have a skipping rock competition, so far I’m in the lead so you better catch up!” Curtis said happily.
He threw with all his might but the third stone came skipping back.
“WHOA, what just happened,” said Amanda.
“I don’t know, but we are about to find out!” said Curtis.
Curtis and Amanda ran back with “The Rock” to the cabin, shut the cabin door and started experimenting.
But something happened to soon.
“What in the world, the rock just bit me,” Curtis said to Amanda.
“What how can a rock bite you?” Amanda said confused.
“Wait, this is not a rock it’s-it’s A CRAB!!” shouted Curtis.
Curtis immediately went back to the lake and threw back “The Rock” and headed back to the cabin. It was their last day there in West Virginia at the campground
They loaded into the car, but Amanda said she “Forgot Something” back at the river. Amanda was running to the river and found “The Rock” and hid it in her bag. Then Curtis came to the river and took Amanda back to the car. Amanda had something to tell Curtis.
“Curtis I have something to tell you, I went back to the river because… I took “The Rock,” Amanda said nervously.
“YOU TOOK THE ROCK!!! I THOUGHT WE GOT RID OF THAT THING!” Curtis said silently but with anger .
“At least were leaving with a smile on our faces knowing we had a good time,” Amanda said.
“Sure,” said Curtis.
