Boney Team

By: Ma. Criselda G. Ocang

The Boney team was getting everything ready for a party. Boney Horse
broke his favorite stove so it was replaced by Mother Boney. He didnt like
what she gave him.
I cant cook the best pasta for the party. I dont like to use this stove! he
yelled.
Boney Ratty was in-charge of the garden. She didnt like to remove the
stones.
Boney Monkey was in-charge of drinks. He didnt like to serve fruit juice. He
wanted something else.
Boney Froggy was in-charge of the ice cream. She didnt like to use cones.
Boney Carabao was in-charge of watering the plants. He didnt like to use the
hose given him.
Boney Turtle was in-charge of calling up their friends. He didnt like to use
the phone given him.
Everyone did not like what was there for him to use to get things ready for
the party.
I dont like to use this stove! cried Boney Horse.
I dont like to remove these stones! cried Boney Ratty.
I dont like to serve this fruit juice! cried Boney Monkey.
I dont like to use these cones! cried Boney Froggy.
I dont like to use this hose! cried Boney Carabao.
I dont like to use this phone! cried Boney Turtle.
Mother Boney was so sad.
If Boney Horse doesnt like to use the stove, how will he cook our food?
If Boney Ratty doesnt like to remove the stones, what will our garden look
like?
If Boney Monkey doesnt like to serve the fruit juice, what are we going to
drink?
If Boney Froggy doesnt like to use the cones, how are we going to eat the ice
cream?
If Boney Carabao doesnt like to use the hose, the plants may die.
If Boney Turtle doesnt like to use the phone, how will our friends be invited
to the party?
Team Boney saw how sad Mother Boney was. ThenI like to use this stove! shouted Boney Horse.
I like to remove these stones! shouted Boney Ratty.
I like to serve this fruit juice! shouted Boney Monkey.

I like to use this hose! shouted Boney Carabao.

And they all began to work happily together.
