The big kid stood by the garden shed with others kids and you the horticultural teacher was down by the beds with some other kids whom he was showing how to dig and the big kid said I had her back there up in those woods at the end of the playing field the other kids moved in closer to get a better grip on the tale told you stood on the perimeter of the crowd one eye on the big kid the other on the teacher bent over a kid showing him how to hold a ***** and you know what? the big kid said she was some goer the other kids looked at him then at each other some plump kid with spots laughed you looked over towards the woods by the playing field a quaint woodland over by the fence and near the road and you know what it’s like? Huh? the big kid said the kids nodded you noticed their eyes large and their tongues at the corner of mouths it was like slipping into a warm bed the big kid said on a cold night the teacher made his way towards you and the kids by the shed the big kid made gestures with his hand and the boys sniggered half catching on to the gesture’s tale the big kid’s hands went into pockets out of sight the other kids moved towards the teacher’s calling voice you followed unwillingly having little choice.

THE BIG KID AND THE TALL TALE.
The big kid stood by the garden shed with others kids and you the horticultural teacher was down by the beds with some other kids whom he was showing how to dig and the big kid said I had her back there up in those woods at the end of the playing field the other kids moved in closer to get a better grip on the tale told you stood on the perimeter of the crowd one eye on the big kid the other on the teacher bent over a kid showing him how to hold a ***** and you know what? the big kid said she was some goer the other kids looked at him then at each other some plump kid with spots laughed you looked over towards the woods by the playing field a quaint woodland over by the fence and near the road and you know what it’s like? Huh? the big kid said the kids nodded you noticed their eyes large and their tongues at the corner of mouths it was like slipping into a warm bed the big kid said on a cold night the teacher made his way towards you and the kids by the shed the big kid made gestures with his hand and the boys sniggered half catching on to the gesture’s tale the big kid’s hands went into pockets out of sight the other kids moved towards the teacher’s calling voice you followed unwillingly having little choice.
