HEADLINES by F.M.Bright
1.My father works hard at his office.
He is the head of a computer lab.He works all the time.
And when he gets home after work,he disappears.
Where?Behind his newspaper!
He reads every inch of that newspaper-current events,
crime articles,sports,and weather.
He even reads the movie reviews and the gossip column.
2.Father enjoys that newspaper!But I don't like it.
Why?Because he gets lost in it!
Once we were late for the school play because he did nt stop reading.
Once his beeper rang and rang.
He didn't look up.Once I said,"Father,the dog is flying,"
just to see what he would do.
"Just a minute,"he said."I'm reading the book reviews."
I can shout!I can sheer!When he reads the newspaper,he cannot here me.
3.So today I played a little trick.
I got some paper.I printed some headines-different headlines.
And I glud them Father's newspaper.
What did he do?
Father picked up the newspaper.He opened it.I waited.
The newspaper began to shake.I heard a giggle.
Then I heard a laugh.My trick was working!
4."Very funny!"Father said.
"Now I am hungry.Do you want to get some ice cream with me?"
"But you didn't read all of your newspaper,Father,"I said.
"I will do that later,"he said."Come on."
My father is wonderful!
PROJECT Listen and sing.
I've been working on the paper.Every day and night.
I'm reporting on a caper,And I'm editing what I write.
Can't you hear the keyboard clicking.
Typing out the story and my views?
Can't you hear the printer printing.
Printing all the news?
