The Gum Game

 

"If I buy five packs of gum, each person will get one stick of gum," Miss Bubble said to herself. "We will want ore than that."  Miss Bubble laid those five packs on the clean, white counter. Then she reached into the display box. She put five ore packs on the counter. She counted them by fives, starting with thirty. "Thirty, thirty-five, forty, forty-five, nd fifty," she said. "Five packs plus five more packs makes ten packs of gum. Ten packs of gum will give me fifty ticks of gum. Each of my friends can have two sticks of gum! The gum party will be fun!" iss Bubble thought of some games and contests. Her party was a big hit. She gave prizes for the biggest bubbles nd the loudest pops. Her friends made art out of one piece of gum. She gave them index cards and toothpicks.
First they chewed the gum. Next, they spit it out on the card. Then they used the toothpick to try to make the gum ook like something else. They laughed and pointed at each other. Luna's gum looked like a star. She won a prize.
