The Water FountainBy

Gregory Voelker

This is Joey.

This is Jose.

Joey and Jose like to play in the drinking fountain during recess

and get the students wet.

This is the teacher and students in Joey’s and Jose’s classroom.

The teacher and students are sad. They do not like it when Joey and Jose play in the drinking fountain during recess.

If Joey and Jose followed the school rules, maybe they would have more friends and not get in

trouble all the time.

This is Jackie. Jackie follows the school rules. She drinks in the fountain. She does not play in the fountain. She does not get people wet. She is nice.

Jackie’s teacher and the students in her class like Jackie a lot because she is nice and follows the rules.

Joey and Jose want to have friends. They want to follow the rules. They will only drink from the fountain. They will not get in trouble. They want to be like Jackie.

Joey and Jose now have lots of friends. They follow the school rules. They do not get in trouble. Joey and

Jose now have lots of friends.
