    When Ray got into the car he was very upset he looked out the window the whole drive to Pennsylvania from Ohio. He and his sisters Greena and Grace where in the back when mother drove the car all the way there. “I can’t wait said mother. we are finally living my dream. Living in Pennsylvania.” “Your about to pay me $10.00” said Greena to Grace. “for what?” asked Grace she only had $8.00 with her but that was for food. “for our bet” said Greena “hang on said Grace we aren’t even in Pennsylvania yet. Maybe I’ll win.” Ha Ha like you will . said Greena you can’t even win at hopscotch . You don’t stand a chance “ “That rock fell out of my hand and I am winning this bet!” yelled Grace “what bet?” asked Ray “oh nothing” said Grace “I am winning that bet” whispered Grace. Greena giggled and sat back down smiling “what bet are they talking about” Wondered Ray and he tried to enjoy the rest of the car dive there.
