Selling Candy Bars

Mr. Wig came home from his morning walk. He went into his kitchen and poured some orange juice. Suddenly he heard sounds in his bedroom. Click, click, click. Buzz, buzz. “ What is going on in there?” Mr. Wig wondered. He went into his bedroom and gasped.

Spider webs were every where. The door to his safe was open, and the safe was empty. “ Oh no! ” cried Mr. Wig. “ All my money is gone! ” “ No, thank you, " said a woman. “ I don't want to buy any candy bars. ” The woman shut the door. Roxy and her friends were selling candy bars.

“ Oh well, ” said Mara. “ Let's try the next house. ” They were raising money to help poor families in Metro City. The four friends arrived at the next house. Roxy knocked on the door. An old man answered. “ Yes?" he said. “ Hello, sir! ” said Roxy.

“ Would you like to buy a delicious candy bar?We have three kinds. All of the money will go to-" “ Candy bars rot your teeth, " the man said. “ I never eat them. " “ But we're raising money to help poor families, " said Mara. The man shook his head. “ I'm not interested. And I'm very busy. Good-bye. "

He closed the door. “ This stinks! ” said Jack as they walked away from the house. “ Nobody wants to buy any candy bars. ” “ Don't worry, " said Mara. “ We just have to keep trying. ” “ Maybe we should go to a different neighborhood, " said Jack.
