10 Go for the Gold

CHAPTER 10 GO FOR THE GOLD It's our neighbor with his snow blower. He offers to clear our driveway. "That's okay," says Mom. "It's nice to be snowed in." It's true. We were all stranded on a fireplace island in a sea of snow. After hot chocolate and more ghost stories, we go to bed. I have a funny dream that night. I'm in the winter Olympics. I'm entered in every event—skiing, ski jumping, speed skating, even bobsledding. I am fantastic and

win 21 gold medals. In figure skating, my partner is the snowman. But he melts before we can finish our routine. WAIT UP! THERE'S MOM. YEAH! MY HERO! YEAH! A STAR IS BORN. BRAVO! HELP!

HI, KIDS. I'm awakened by the sound of the snowplows clearing our street. That means that there will be school today. RATS. HEY!

GESUNDHEIT! THANK YOU. I WANTED TO BE ON PAGE 53.

IS THIS YOURS? OINK.
