TWIGMAN BUYS A CAR

TWIGMAN WAS THINKING ABOUT BUYING A CAR FOR THE FAMILY. WHEN HE TOLD THEM ABOUT HIS IDEA, KNOBBY SAID, "WOW!", THORNY SAID, "CAN I DRIVE IT DAD?", FUZZY SAID, "CAN I RIDE IN IT DADDY, PULEEEZE!" AND LEAFY SAID, "YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A CAR.". ALL THE CHILDREN WANTED TWIGMAN TO BUY A CONVERTIBLE. TWIGMAN MAN TOLD LEAFY THE MAN AT THE CAR DEALER WOULD GIVE HIM A LESSON ON DRIVING THE CAR.

WHEN TWIGMAN GOT TO THE CAR DEALER HE TOLD THE SALESMAN HIS CHILDREN WANTED A CONVERTIBLE. THE SALESMAN SAID, "WISE CHOICE, YOUR WIFE WILL LIKE IT TOO.". TWIGMAN PICKED OUT A BRIGHT SHINY RED CONVERTIBLE AND THE SALESMAN GAVE HIM A DRIVING LESSON.

TWIGMAN LEARNED FAST BECAUSE HE WAS SMART. HE SOON WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON HIS WAY HOME TO SHOW HIS FAMILY.

AS HE DROVE NEAR HOME THE CHILDREN AND LEAFY WERE OUT IN THE FRONT YARD WAITING FOR HIM. HE WAVED TO THEM. THEY ALL WERE SO EXCITED THEY WERE JUMPING UP AND DOWN. TWIGMAN WAS SO PROUD HE HAD MADE HIS FAMILY SO HAPPY.

TWIGMAN WAS SO PLEASED WITH HIMSELF HE DID NOT WATCH WHAT HE WAS DOING AND RAN INTO A BIG TREE IN HIS FRONT YARD. THE FRONT END OF THE CONVERTIBLE WAS SMASHED BUT TWIGMAN WAS NOT HURT BECAUSE HE HAD HIS SEAT BELT FASTENED. LUCKY HE WAS NOT SO EXCITED AS TO FORGET THAT.

AS THE TOW TRUCK WAS TAKING AWAY THE NEW CAR, THORNY SAID, "BOY YOU REALLY SMASHED THAT CAR.! KNOBBY SAID, "WOW!, WOW!, WOW!" AGAIN AND AGAIN, FUZZY WAS CRYING WHEN SHE SAID, "I DIDN'T GET TO RIDE IN IT." TWIGMAN DID NOT SAY ANYTHING BUT LEAFY SAID, "I THINK YOU NEED MORE THAN ONE DRIVING LESSON.
