The Broken Window


          Early  Sunday  morning  John,  Jimmy  and  some

          other  boys  were  in  search  of  a  place  to  play  an
          exciting  game  of  cricket.  Eventually,  they  found

          the perfect place to play some cricket - Ms. Bob’s

          yard.  They  chose  it    because  it  had  the  most

          luscious green grass in the neighbourhood.


          The boys asked Ms. Bob,
          “Ms. Bob can we play some cricket in your yard?’’


          “Yes  you may  my children,  but  do  not  to  smash

          my windows!’’ she warned sternly.


          The boys played the game with a passion. There

          were two teams. The first team was the Red Bad
          Boys and the other team was the Black Bulls.


          The  game  went  on  and  the  Red  Bad  Boys  who

          batted first were all out after scoring only 78 runs

          in 20 overs.


          “I  outing  all  of  y’all,  watch  and  see”,  boasted
          Jimmy,  as  he  threatened  the  opposing  team.
