by Dan Drinker

"Help! Help!" said Dan.  "Mrs. Overcash is in the bathtub and she won't get out.  Somebody help me."

"I will," said T.J.  "Get out of the tub. It is time to eat lunch," said T.J.

Mrs. Overcash said, "Today we eat lunch in the tub."

"Help! Help!" said Dan. "Mrs. Overcash is in the tub and she won't get out.  Who will help?"

"I will," said Miss Haegele.  "It is time to teach the class."

"Today I teach in the tub," said Mrs. Overcash.

"Help! Help!" said Dan. "Mrs. Overcash is in the tub and she won't get out.  Who will help?"

"I will," said Terri.  "It is time to go swimming."

"Today we swim in the tub!" said Mrs. Overcash.

"Help! Help!" said Dan. "Mrs. Overcash is in the tub and she won't get out.  Who can help?"

The class said, "Lets tie a rope around her and pull her out." Mrs. Overcash is finally out of the tub!

Dan points out "my brother" to the reporter.
