what her mother had said” Is the fastest I

her up. Lucy walked up to Lori and said”I

heard you walking outa class telling Mika

bout di steel donkey”. When they didn’t

respond she continued” You so foolish

bringing all dese children tales come here

don’t you know we leave them behind

once we reach high school and

furthermore dis steel donkey really and

truly doan exist”.
