5. The Wrath of Ms. Ribble

CHAPTER 5 THE WRATH OF MS. RIBBLE When Ms. Ribble read the comic book that George and Harold had made, she was furious. "Boys!" she yelled. "You've just earned yourselves a one-way ticket to the principal's office!" "But all we did was use our imaginations!" said George. "You're not allowed to do that in this school!" snapped Ms. Ribble. "Didn't you read chapter I?"

George and Harold gathered their things, and soon they were sitting in the office outside Mr. Krupp's door. "Mr. Krupp is on the phone," said the school secretary, Miss Anthrope. "Why don't you boys make yourselves useful and copy the 'Friday Memo' for me! You can pass them out to all the classrooms for me while I go to lunch." "Aww, maaaan!" said George. "Quit your whining, buster!" shouted Miss Anthrope- "I want this done by the time I get back, or you'll both be sorry!" Miss Anthrope grabbed her coat and stomped out the door.

George and Harold looked at the "Friday Memo." It was a weekly newsletter that told all about the events of the upcoming week. "Hey," said George. "Miss Anthrope's computer is still on. Y'wanna make a few changes to this newsletter?" "Why not?" said Harold.

So George and Harold typed up their own version of the Jerome Horwitz Elementary School "Friday Memo." Then they ran off copies for all the students in the school.
